For the ENTIRE month of October (or until it's gone!)Â you can fill a grocery bag with Fall, Thanksgiving, and Halloween decor for just $5! We have one more shelf of Fall Decor before we switch to all Christmas Decor, so come in this week!
This includes anything on the Fall/Halloween seasonal shelf, canvases/art celebrating the harvest season, and any other autumnal treasures you can find!
Happy Harvest!!
We'll be doing a Halloween decoration activity at Lucky Ones Coffee! We'll have all kinds of supplies for you to make your own spooky Halloween decor. Or if decor isn't your thing, we'll bring things for Halloween cards!Â
Come grab a coffee, make a craft, then head into the library for your next cozy read!

If you would like to hold a craft swap with a youth group, craft club, or other community group, we'll help you set it up and bring supplies to kick it off! Any supplies left over can be automatically donated to the Salamander.Â
We've collaborated on craft swaps at libraries, UMOCA, and with Grid Zine Fest! You're also welcome to organize your craft swap in our own workshop room!Â
Want to hold a class? Salamanders are versatile by nature and know a few tips and tricks for crocheting, sewing, painting, paper making, calligraphy, and the like. Let's learn together!
We've done some really fun art activities at senior centers, preschools, museums libraries, and more! We also love collaborating as a group, and we know everyone in the community has talents to share. Email us with your organization and idea!
Our workshop room is available for birthday parties, private events, to host a class, or even to run your tabletop RPG! Our suggested donation amount is $10 per person per hour to book our space, but as with all of the Salamander's services, we want to make this as accessible as we can for everyone, so it is also a sliding pay-what-you-can scale.Â
We're so excited to have you! Contact us for more info at secondhandsalamander@gmail.com or just come by the store!
