Hosted by the ever inspiring Jen Hitchcock! Anyone & everyone is invited to attend! Snacks and drinks will be served. Somewhere between becoming a mom and a corporate wanker, I stopped jotting down my ideas, and ultimately, stopped writing. The notebooks and folders stuffed full of receipts, post-it notes and scraps of paper with a few words or sentences scribbled on them all held the potential to be flushed out into finished pieces, and often were. Back to Scraps is a workshop meant to help us all keep full these containers that may contain a fragment of what will become our next great piece of writing. Back To Scraps is open to writers of all pedigree, looking for a creative and welcoming place to come, put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and let flow whatever may flow (as long as it doesn’t require much cleanup). Join us for a night of fun, engaging and constructive writing exercises meant to foster new writing ideas and generally spark your creative mind. Jen Hitchcock is a writer who doesn’t do nearly enough writing anymore. As a freelance journalist she has had her writing published in a multitude of mostly now defunct magazines and fanzines —most notably in the LA WEEKLY, and least notably, in her self-published fanzine ZYZXX. She is horrible at spelling and even more despicable with all things grammatical. ****Umm ... Jen wrote this Bio herself, but I, Missy will confess to you that I know Jen because I wrote her a fan letter after being turned onto ZYZXX when I first moved to LA in 1996. Jen also has a blog and new podcast, well worth checking out- www.zyzxxzine.com. I am a huge fan and am LOVING this workshop!! Hope you will join us! As you know at Grow Kid Grow, we’re a little more about the temperature than the trend. In other words, we try not to rush the season. With this unpredictable weather, we’re still trying to straddle both seasons. Granted, you can find lots of cute spring dresses and shorts starting to hit our racks, but we’re happy to say you can also still find warm ski clothes, sweaters and cozy footy pajamas. Keep an eye out in March for our “Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring” 50% off selected items sale + our awesome 99c rack. We’ll keep you posted. Also, don’t forget, we have new stuff as well as used, so keep us in mind for your birthday party needs. Check out our recent shipments of “Melissa and Doug” toys and puzzles and more, as well as great “Schylling” toys. We even offer FREE gift wrapping! Check at Grow Kid Grow first and save yourself the trouble of the mall. Lately, we’ve been offering a sample sale rack of new clothing items and accessories Nb - 10+. In case you’ve missed it, the rack is in the back of the store by the train table. We’ve been trying to replenish it, once a month, usually in the beginning of each month. Check it out! We have some really cute brand new stuff at a fraction of the original retail price! We're always lookin' for great stuff!! We're now starting to buy for spring so, If you'd like to make an appointment to sell some of your kid's stuff, please give us a call.- we book all appointments by phone only. UNLESS …it's only 1 small brown paper grocery bag …like a Trader Joe’s brown bag (we really appreciate your respecting our space limitations!), in which case, feel free to drop it by anytime. When you drop a bag, keep in mind, If we have time to look at it while you wait, we will. Otherwise we'll have you just drop it off with your name and phone # and we'll get back to with our cash or credit terms within a few days.

THE INSPIRATION:
Missy Gibson, a proud mother of a 5-year-old son, recognized the expense of kids’ clothing and how quickly they grow out of things. In the spirit of recycling, and saving money, Gibson had searched around the city for used children’s clothing stores, but found them far away from her Silver Lake home and often a “hit or miss” situation. Gibson is no stranger to the thrift store business, as she owned and operated her own vintage clothing store in the late 1980s, in her native Michigan. At a holiday party in 2009, Gibson approached her former sales teammates with an idea to open a kids’ resale store in the neighborhood. After few late-night meetings at The Astro, over
pie and coffee, the seed was planted.
