MARCH DAISY DRYGOODS

Crafty Fave of March is Craft Night at Daisy Drygoods!

The Crafty Mavericks were down at the first ever Daisy Drygoods Craft Night, Friday, February 26, making buttons with more than 20 other crafters. Even if you have never been in the store, you may have noticed Daisy Drygoods for their creative storefront windows on H Street, near the plaza in Arcata. They specialize in all things vintage and always have a “scene and a theme.” Craft night was no different. The first craft night theme was button making. We can’t wait to see what happens next! Anyone is welcome to participate. Come use their supplies for $5, bring you own, or both.

The next craft night is Friday, March 19 from 6:30-8:30. Daisy’s will continue to host craft night every 3rd Friday of each month. Calling to reserve a spot is essential. It was packed! Call 707-822-1893. Daisy Drygoods is located at 959 H Street and open M-F 11-5:30 and Saturday form 12-5. They have been in business for 10 years.

Employees, Rondi Dias and Amy Barnes, who ran the last craft night, find a lot of their crafting inspiration from owners, Mary Anderson and Ann Hitt. A 5th employee, Sara LeGar, works there too, and as Rondi states, “odd numbers just work for us.” I think a lot of crafters can relate.

While Daisy Drygoods as been an H Street staple for a long time, they realize that now more than ever, people are crafting like crazy. The store carries tons of vintage sewing and craft notions, vintage clothing and fabrics, hardware, and so much more. You can even find the employees’ own found object art sprinkled throughout the store. One of Amy Barnes’ favorite things is to “make stuff out of stuff,” and if yours is too, Daisy Drygood’s is the place to make it happen.
