Whether it's
the economy or raised environmental awareness, recycling and repurposing is part
of the passion and a big selling point for many local crafters. At the 17th
Annual Haddonfield Crafts and Fine Art Festival, Sat., July 11, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
and Sun., July 12, noon - 5 p.m., more artists than ever are displaying unique
ways in which they create sustainable, functional art.
The redesign of Kings Court features new walkways, lighting, plantings, and benches, offering the opportunity for more exhibitors than ever - 265 of the best chosen artists. Artisans will exhibit a wide range of arts and crafts including ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood, fiber, metal, paper, drawings, paintings, photography and wearable art. During the borough's premier event, Kings Highway will be closed to vehicular traffic. What is a usually a busy main artery through the center of town will be transformed into a festive corridor, alive with a panorama of artists' tents and various crafts on exhibit to Haddonfield residents and visitors. Area restaurants will set up outdoor cafés, and musicians and face painters will entertain. For more information about this free event, visit online. |

When a heatwave hits, no one
wants to leave the air conditioning. Even though pets shouldn't be outside in
very hot weather for an extended length of time, a short walk is still important
for their exercise and routine.
Fortunately, The Monster Minders are tough, weather-resistant folks who can take your dog for a walk when it's too hot for you to handle. Sure your dog can "hold it" until you come home from work, but walking is about more than just potty breaks. Dogs are generally much better behaved with regular walks, which increases our bond with our pets - because snuggling is better than scolding. The Monster Minders are also strong advocates for kitten fostering. Fostering kittens provides a temporary and often life-saving home until the kittens are old enough to be spayed. Kittens cannot be spayed until they weigh about three pounds (8-10 weeks old), and shelters simply do not have the space to hold kittens until they can be fixed. In addition, being in a shelter during this time, many kittens will die due to preventable and curable diseases. All fosters have to do is love, socialize, feed, and keep the cats warm and happy for four to six weeks. The kittens are then taken to the clinic free of charge to be spayed and find homes. Rescue groups, such as PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society), pay for all medical care, shots, and spaying/neutering. See the bottom of this newsletter for $20 off your first invoice from The Monster Minders. |

After 15
years of serving women in transition by offering free professional clothing, The
Career Wardrobe expands its services by opening The Wardrobe Boutique. Opening
at 1822 Spring Garden St., this 5,000-square foot boutique open to the public
will offer new and gently used women's apparel and accessories in an upscale
boutique atmosphere.
After receiving tens of thousands of donations of high-quality clothing not appropriate for its mission of providing women with free professional clothing for job interviews, The Career Wardrobe decided to open a resale boutique with business, casual, and evening apparel to be sold to benefit the organization's growing services. The store will serve the public by selling quality new and used apparel and accessories at a deeply discounted price, offering another opportunity to recycle clothing for a good cause. All proceeds will directly benefit The Career Wardrobe. The Wardrobe Boutique will open in August with a series of private sales and events for supporters, and a Grand Opening is planned for September. General store hours will be Tuesday-Friday 12-6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, call (215) 568-6693 or visit online. |
