Do you have a beloved item that needs a little TLC?
Want to learn from the experts how to take something apart, diagnose it’s “illness” and bring it back to life?
Are you interested in keeping your things out of the landfill and thumbing your nose at supply chain delays?
Come to the Repair Cafe at the Heart of Cartm Workshop (next to the store)!
This month we have expert fixers who specialize in crocheting, jewelry repair and sewing projects along with our usual lamp and appliance fixers, so take a look in your basements, garages and dark corners, find something that needs fixing and join us!
RSVP here www.heartofcartm.org/repaircafe so we know what kind of riveting repair we are getting into.
Repair Café at Heart of Cartm serves as a hub for individuals who value sustainability, creativity, and community engagement. The Repair Café isn’t just about fixing broken items; it’s about sharing knowledge and skills, too. When you bring your broken toaster or worn-out work pants to our workshop, you have the opportunity to learn how to repair items yourself, with guidance from our skilled volunteers.
If you can’t make it to Repair Cafe this Saturday, come by the store to see what kind of treasures are waiting for you. We are open Thursday – Monday, Noon-6pm.
In this workshop series we will:
Address inner barriers so you can ask for what you need
Transform energetic blockages so you can stand your ground
Find the courage to say what you mean
Relearn body language to support communication
Change vocal habits for better self-expression
Practice using words that are unequivocal, clear, and kind
You will walk away with the confidence and clarity to deepen your kindness in all your relationships — including with yourself.

Wanted to spread the word that my organic landscape company is currently booking projects for late Summer and Fall 2025. Once upon a time I posted a similar flyer here on the BBQ and was busy for eight years! I have no problem with that happening again 😉
