The Craft Box, established in February 2012 by co-owners Liz and Sue, brings new life to gently used craft items.  Affectionately known as “The Box”, they work to reduce waste by encouraging creativity through the sale of craft items and promotes a crafting haven through classes and events.  In addition, the local community is supported through the donation of items, time and talent to local charitable organizations.

Lifelong crafters, Sue and Liz are well versed in crafts ranging from quilting, stamping, scrapbooking and needlework.  They recognized a need for a place to have crafting supplies to be brought back to life and give new crafters and opportunity to try new crafts without an expensive initial investment.  The idea of creating a thrift store geared toward crafters was born.  The shop re-sells craft items brought in by customers, which are then sold to other crafters.  A “crafting heaven” where crafters can send those planned projects that just didn’t seem to get done, and know that other crafters will use them.  The box is also a place for passing on craft materials to charities.

The Craft Box is NOT a consignment store.  Items are either donated to the store or Liz and Sue go through each item and make a purchase offer to the customer.  The Craft Box sells items at prices well below current market value, making it a great place for both consumers and charities to shop for their crafting items.
