This wonderful shop would have been in our neighborhood in NW Cedar Rapids, as we look to open our storefront nearby. So very sad to see it go. 💔

This was such a positive story of repurposing an iconic building that we had advocated to save. This happened instead. 💔

It broke our hearts to see the beloved Queen of Hearts mansion demolished last year in Marshalltown, #Iowa, but pieces of #history our volunteers rescued are still finding new loving homes, including this solid door, on its way to #Muscatine. ❤️

I am so proud of and happy for my neighbors Arlene and Maya, and dozens of others who supported this effort to save the derelict Elim Lutheran Church in Roseland. It truly was down to the wire: the building was about to face a city demo order when folks came together to make a fresh future for it.
