Remember that tomorrow (11/16) is the LAST DAY to nominate someone who could use a $50 gift card to ALDIS.

As part of our Community Table Project, we’re helping support local families this season. Recently, an anonymous community member reached out and asked if we could help them give away two $50 Aldi gift cards to families in need. We were so moved by their generosity that we decided to match their gift, bringing the total to four $50 gift cards that we will be distributing to families or individuals in our area who could use a little extra support right now.

If you know someone who is struggling, you can submit a nomination using the link below.
Nomination link: https://www.erstwhilestudios.com/nominationform
Nominations close November 16th at midnight.
Winners will be contacted personally by Amber on Monday, November 17th. If she hasn't heard back from them within 24 hours, a new recipient will be contacted.

To protect the dignity and privacy of the recipients, we will not share names, but we will share their stories so our community can see the real impact of showing up for one another.

Please only submit one nomination per family to keep things fair for everyone.

Thank you for helping us nourish and uplift our neighbors. One table, one act of kindness at a time.

Today would have been my Dad’s 61st Birthday. He also died 6 years ago today, because of course he’d go out on his birthday. Today, I’ll be spending a few hours with Miss Lilly getting my tattoo added onto in honor of him. My Dad was larger than life. He was a 6’2” tall, 350lb man with tattoos and piercings. He was obsessed with the Huskers, the Vikings, big lifted trucks, and Harley Davidson. He was a presence, a force, and it feels like he took all the light with him when he passed. He genuinely was such a good person and I miss him more than I ever thought possible. So, I’ll spend today honoring and remembering my Dad.

Please go support the shop today, we really need the business. Chanel will take care of you. I love you all very much. 🩵
