Hands-On for Hope

We first wanted to pass on our heartfelt sympathies to the friends and family of David Heard. Though we had never met David, his mission to give others symbols of hope in the form of a beautiful origami crane has inspired us greatly.

Our paper folding event that was planned for this Sunday, February 13th from 11am-2pm will still be taking place. We will be folding as many cranes as we can in David’s name in order to be donated to the National Crane Project. Though it will be most appropriate for children ages 7-14, all are welcome. THIS IS A FREE EVENT…paper and snacks will be provided, but any paper donations would be greatly appreciated. Our talented origami artisan, Karen Gualtieri, will be here to demonstrate folding for those who are beginners.

Come and join us to learn the Japanese art of paper folding and to pass on cranes of hope to pediatric cancer centers all around the country. We hope to see you there.

Emmaus Farmer’s Market To Begin Soon!

As we’re nearing the end of April and peope are really starting to enjoy visiting the town, that can only mean one thing…the Emmaus Farmer’s Market is about to begin! Held in the KNBT Bank parking lot (right across the street from us!) from 10am-2pm every Sunday until Thanksgiving, the Farmer’s Market has proven to be quite a happening place. In fact, one may find it difficult on Sundays to drive through the Main Street without stopping multiple times for families crossing the street in order to get their fresh produce (don’t let that scare you away because of parking, there are lots of spaces behind businesses that are always open). All Emmaus business owners are very excited when they see lots of people strolling around town, and the Farmer’s Market has certainly motivated tons of walkers to get out and about on Sundays!

Out of Our Hands will be adjusting our hours starting May 1st to be open every Sunday from 10am-2pm while the Market is going on. Stop by and browse our new inventory or just to say hello! We are looking foward to eventually offering some events and mini art projects for youngsters on Sundays…more info on that to come.

Our Sunday hours will be lasting until the end of the year (January 1st, 2011 is when we’ll make the switch back to our winter hours). We are looking foward to offering more shopping hours to our customers. We’ll see you soon!
