Indie Craft Revolution was, unbelievably, more fun than I expected. (And after my experience last year, I expected LOADS of fun!) I was next to Hypercraftive and Riley Construction, and let me tell you – these ladies are both creative and awesome. Please stop by their booths whenever you see them out and about.

Another slice of cuteness is the reason for this post:

100% of the sale of these buttons will go to assist the victims of the MO "Good Friday" tornados.

Melissa of VillaDesign was in Maryland Heights when a tornado went through that area and tore the steeple off the church she was in.  In her words:

I was worried going home seeing the destruction around me. Would I even have a home to go back to? What about the neighbors? Thankfully, my area spared. But there were others, people I know, that were not so lucky. Trees fallen on homes or no homes at all. Maryland Heights was hit with an F3 tornado. Bridgeton was hit with an F4 tornado. There was destruction everywhere and many need help.

So what can I do? I decided to make these… Missouri State pin-back buttons. The 2-1/4 inch buttons are $2 each and 1 inch buttons are $1 each. 100% of the Missouri State buttons sales will go to those effected by the storms.

I encourage you to visit her site and make note of her schedule to find out where you can get your own MO pin and support those effected by the storms.  In fact, you could pick up some this weekend at Tower Grove Farmers Market where VillaDesign and Zenbot Baby will be sharing a tent! Veggies, yoga, crafts, and helping others! A perfect combination, don’t you think?
