The Old Town Boutique District is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Boutiques Give Back Day taking place on Saturday, May 19, 2012. This creative, small business driven, yet community focused event is staged to be the largest charity collaboration in the DC Metro area!
Each boutique has hand-picked an organization to support and honor on this special shopping day, and fibre space™ is delighted to host a fundraiser for Project Knitwell! On Saturday, May 19th from 10 a.m.—7 p.m., we will donate 20% of our sales to Project Knitwell to support their mission to bring the healing properties of knitting to those who most need it. So come shop yarn, books, and more and know that your purchases will support this wonderful organization!
