Project Linus of East Tennessee is thrilled to be participating in the Lavender Festival at Jackson Square in Oak Ridge this year on June 15 from 8 AM to 3 PM. We will have a table set up in front of the Fiberology Lab from 8 AM to 3 PM. Our purpose is to sell some items to fund raise for our organization and also to recruit new volunteers. Here is how you can help.
Sign up to help staff the table. Click here to email Deb directly if you can help and what times you are available. (8-9:30, 9:30 – 11, 11 – 12:30, 12:30 – 2, and/or 2 – 3:30 (including tear down). She will get back with you closer to the event to confirm a time.
Make items to sell at the table. We are looking for small items preferably in lavender, green, earth, floral, etc. type prints and colors. Please have all items to a blanket drop off location or make arrangements with Deb by June 7th. See pictures of suggested items below or on Facebook.
Items such as those listed below (other items are welcome):
Wash clothes can be made to be sold at the Lavender Festival. Please make them out of lavender, purple or green yarn or variegated with those colors.
Knit/crochet wash clothes/dish rags do not have to be made from a pattern. You can just make one approximately 8” square out of cotton or some of the new “scrubby” yarns.
