Hi All! Escondoodles Creative Reuse store has been so successful and rewarding, bringing joy and resources to so many, bringing out of town visitors to Escondido, keeping thousands of pounds of unwanted Arts & Crafts materials out of landfills, and being a safe, inviting, and friendly third space for many to learn more about artistic practices, have conversations over mutual interests, learn something new, and make a new friend or two! 💕

The fact that our time together is halfway over is crazy to me, and all of this love for our little store has shown a need and desire for something that can be permanent in our community. Maybe someday...🤔
