Poor me, no shoes...looking for
gently worn or new shoes...
for donations to the Humane Society of Culpeper! Our fundraiser, Shoes 4 Paws, will earn revenue for our animal rescue, helps the environment (shoes take decades to disintegrate meanwhile releasing dangerous toxins) and supports micro-enterprise vendors in developing nations.
Bring shoes to the Loft, I wear a size 6.

Call Out for Artists!
One of the several exciting exhibits that arts a'loft is funding this year is Barebones; anything naked that is drawn, sketched, painted, colored in crayon, made of iron, constructed of tin cans or stitched together with fibers is acceptable. It can be framed, matted or taped to core board, I don't care. And this just in; it doesn't have to be a woman! There are naked tree branches, skulls and femurs. Surprise me. Artists, let's lean into this for a July exhibit! Submissions by June 15th, please. Contact Me to schedule your submission at the Loft. All work will be juried. No cost to submit and submit more than one! All work must be for sale.
35% consignment fee if sold. Scroll down to see flyer.
