Almost 2 weeks ago Hurricane Helene barreled into the Blue Ridge Mountains and forever changed our town and our beloved western North Carolina. Our online community has been so incredibly giving to us and myself and the entire team are so grateful for your generosity. So many of you donated to our GoFundMe so our part-timers would be paid this month while they are unable to work. Hundreds of you sent messages checking in.
Another way you can help support our community is by purchasing one of our Black Mountain iron-on patches! Starting today we and moving forward are going to donate 100% of the profit from this patch to Beloved Asheville. Beloved is an amazing local organization that is caring for neighbors in Black Mountain, Swannanoa, and Asheville by meeting their immediate physical needs.
While we don’t have an estimated ship date at this time, we will ship them out as soon as utilities are restored to our studio and it safe for our team to return.
Our Black Mountain iron-on patch can go on a hat, denim jacket, backpack, fanny pack, tote, or just about anything you can think of. I created this patch to celebrate our little mountain town and it features the seven sisters mountain range and Lake Tomahawk.
