We're back at it! Grab your beloved, broken objects! For newcomers, our group of handy volunteers will sew, test, glue, nail, rewire, and whatever else it takes in an attempt to resurrect your items (for free). Or, we'll tell you why we couldn't (missing part, exploded, evil, etc.). Our friends at Bluestem Restoration are hosting us as usual, and we're eager to see what y'all dragged out of the grave or broke over the holidays. Basic deets:
We have a hard stop at 3pm, so please bring your items on the early side to ensure we have time to work on it.
THINGS WE FIX
- Clothes (please wash in advance)
- Kitchen appliances
- Ceramics
- Small furniture (chairs, etc.)
- Toys
- Knick-knacks & tchotchkes
- Broken Hearts? I mean, I think we're pretty good looking.
- ...basically, just bring in anything and we'll do what we can (unless it's a printer, in which case we will likely call the time of death without even opening it up)
HOW THIS WORKS
- Maxiumum of 3 items
- *Please wash any clothing you want us to mend. It's the right thing to do.
- We have a parking lot and there's plenty of street parking (all free)
- Bring your item(s) to the check-in table and explain what's wrong, then y'all are free to get a coffee or a sandwich at Hexe Coffee Co., check out the area, run to the bank, write a poem, master some origami
- We'll take your cell phone number and will text or call you when the repair is complete!
- All items must be collected by the end of the event or you risk having the item put out in the alley (Sorry, we don’t have storage space for this stuff...we ramble)·
See y'all there!
