WHY SCRAP HAPPY?

It’s not just a thrift shop - it’s a movement. We collect gently used fabric, yarn, books, art supplies, and much more, saving items from the landfill and giving them new life in the hands of creatives like you. Whether you're an artist, teacher, parent, or passionate crafter, Scrap Happy is your space to create affordably, sustainably, and in community. Have extra supplies to spare? Donations are being accepted on Sundays from 9 - 2 PM and Tuesdays from 12 - 6 PM.

HEART TO ART: SCRAP HAPPY WORKSHOPS 

Our Scrap Happy Thrift store has an exciting new community opportunity. Heart to Art is an art discipline that combines arts education with gently pre-used art supplies. You can now take classes and workshops that turn the heart - community engagement, environmental protection, and materials rehoming - into art that can live on.
