Our Voice           Traveling Postcards

Lower that carbon footprint

even more!    

Well it wasn't on purpose, but it seems that most of our new stuff for summer is travel-oriented!  

Have a look....


 

 New upholstery sample tote bags!  

The best thing about these bags is that a

key hook is attached to the shoulder

strap, which used to be a belt!  

 

 

Inner tube dopp kit.

Spill all the shampoo you want inside this guy.  

Rinse it out and you're good to go.  It's rubber!  


 

 Upcycled fabric jewelry pouches.

This 4" bag can carry all your treasures

wherever you go.  

 

First Thursday Craft Night:

August 1st, 5-8pm

What's the best thing about craft night at Foundry?  The people who come of course!  

 

That's why we've decided to switch things up a bit and host a craft night pot-luck.  Don't worry, you don't have to bring a dish...

 it's BYOC: bring your own craft!  

 

Just gather up the basics of what you're working on and we'll chat, exhange ideas, and and make new connections.  It's just that simple.

We are happy to share supplies and even a bottle or two of wine from our new Charlotte Street neighbors, Metro Wines. 

 

Please RSVP to info@digfoundry.com or call

since space is limited.  Kids are welcome.
