West Craft Fest + Arnold Balmer

West Craft Fest

Do you ever feel like your task at hand feels like a leaf attached to an old oak tree, colors transitioning to dark orange and golden. Then, a gust of wind or a bus drives by and in a moment that task leaf flits off to the newly accumulated pile of leaf tasks at your feet. 

That’s September for ya!  We’re trying to sway with the breeze and keep moving forward. Join us this month in West Philly we’ll be bringing the Arnold Balmer to one of our favorite festivals, in our courtyard for another moving Spirit Medium Gallery or just stop by for a cuppa during our regular hours Wednesday - Sunday from 12-6pm.

We’re looking forward to seeing you, wherever your task leaf flitters off.
