​Scrap Happy Thrift Shop has new hours! We are open Fridays 3 - 6 PM, Saturdays from 12 - 4 PM, and Sundays 10AM  - 1PM.

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.

HEART TO ART: SCRAP HAPPY WORKSHOPS 

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. We don't currently have any workshops, but tune in often as we add more programming!
