Interwoven Threads now at Crown Center

if you're morally opposed to mail or have a hatred for the Internet...or if you would dig another way to do better, get this: Interwoven Threads can be purchased at Gifted Hands in Crown Center. Gifted Hands is a boutique store with everything from handmade jewelery to abstract paintings. the best part of the store is that it's not just a store. Gifted Hands is a mission first, to educate and raise awareness among young women about domestic violence and abuse. some scary statistics on national and Kansas City-area domestic violence occurrences here.


each company/artist featured (Interwoven Threads, for instance) giving 40% of each sale to support Gifted Hands mission. in addition to a diverse store, a large meeting room is within the store where art projects, education and meetings can take place to raise awareness and fight domestic violence.

i am thrilled to be able to work with Gifted Hands. its innovative retail strategy is in line with Interwoven Threads, and the help and positive influence Gifted Hands provides is something i'm honored to support. it's a new way for Interwoven Threads to incorporate a donation aspect, and another way for you to spend your money with someone else in mind.

so, if you've purchased a couple shirts already, but want your money to go to a new cause, head over! the store is on the upper level between Franklin Covey and Halls.

also, the new shirt designs are done! big thanks to Suzanne Frye of Stir Frye Design. i'm currently in the manufacturing process, which now includes a more earth-friendly shirt color dye! i think everyone will be pleased. unfortunately, in the process of changing manufacturers and embarking on a new phase for Interwoven, time slows a bit. be patient! shirts soon.
