If it's easier for you to drop it off at the bakery, we will get it to the school.

🐯🧶 RICHARDS SCHOOL YARN DRIVE! 🧶🐯

Let's show our Richards School community spirit and PAY IT FORWARD! 🧡🖤

We are looking to collect 400 skeins of yarn for Debbie and Don Underwood, the wonderful couple who recently donated hats to EVERY student at Richards School! What an amazing act of kindness! Now it's our turn to give back and show them how much their generosity means to us. ❤️

YARN DONATION GUIDELINES:
🧶 NEW yarn only (please, no used yarn!)
🧶 4-ply acrylic yarn
🧶 Medium to heavy weight

📍 WHERE TO DROP OFF:
Richards School Main Office
21 School Street
Newport, NH

⏰ DROP-OFF HOURS:
Monday–Friday
7:30 AM – 4:00 PM

We are hoping to reach our goal of 400 skeins, and every donation brings us one step closer! Whether you donate one skein or several, every bit helps!

Let's come together as Tigers and show Debbie and Don the same kindness they have shown our students. 🐯🧡
THANK YOU, RICHARDS TIGERS! Let's make this happen! 🧡🖤

Hope everyone had a great Halloween night!

A couple announcements as we head into November, we are taking pre orders for pies, rolls, and cinnamon buns..pick ups will be Tuesday 11/24 and Wednesday 11/25. Then we are closed Thursday, Friday, Saturday to spend time with our kids and reopen Wednesday December 2nd.

The Tuesday and Wednesday for pick- ups we will be open for coffee service but probably won't have any baked case options but that is kinda dependent on pre orders(we only have so much space)- same deal as last Thanksgiving and it seemed to work out pretty good.

Changing things up in the bake case a lot next week! Look out for sneak peaks over the next couple days.

"Oh Look! Another Glorious Morning, Makes me sick!"

The bake case will be filled and the coffee flowing!

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone has a safe and fun day. (Little PSA after our recent incident at New London trick or treating - have a plan for your little ones if you are to get separated from them whether it be a meeting spot or for them just to stay where they are)

The boss is in checking out the morning bake- watching everything "fluff up and get crispy" as he says.
