Celebrate the joy of sending and receiving handwritten greeting cards! Visit us in College Town to buy 3 new cards and we will pay your postage! #ThinkingOfYou

We're always thinking of someone, just like you! Reach out to an old friend, neighbor, or a family member by writing and sending them a handwritten note. Stop in and buy 3 new greeting cards, and we'll pay your postage! #ThinkingOfYou

Stop by in store to pick up some lovely new note cards! We'll have a table set up at the front of the shop all week, for anyone who wants to write a note while they're here. This year, we'll be disinfecting throughout the day, while social distancing, and will not allow more than one person (or family unit ) at the table at once. See you soon! #ThinkingOfYou

It's officially Fall! Time to snuggle up with a warm cup of your favorite hot beverage and write a meaningful note to a dear friend! #ThinkingOfYou #AutumnalEquinox

The Creator's Hands will be closed Monday, September 21 for a day of mourning and prayer for the families and loved ones of the 200,000 Americans and nearly a million people around the world who have lost their lives to the COVID-19 pandemic. We also grieve the racial strife in our country, our community and around the world, and pray for the families who have lost loved ones to institutional racism and police brutality, as well as the many, many brave, hard-working law-enforcement officers who serve us and strive to keep us all safe, yet now find themselves the targets of hatred and mistrust. And finally, we pray for our physical world, and all creatures, human and otherwise, affected by the fires, floods, hurricanes and all manner of natural disasters caused in large part by our failure to care for our earth. The losses of life and property have been devastating.

In the past 36 hours: Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a brilliant and tireless warrior for equality and justice succumbed to pancreatic cancer, and the political ugliness regarding appointment of her replacement has begun; At least 16 young people in the City of Rochester were wounded by gunfire (including two who died), and we've learned that somebody sent ricin to The White House. With the frightening confluence of all of these issues, it is just impossible to conduct business as normal. We must acknowledge that this is NOT normal in the United States of America. It should not be normal anywhere in the world, and we can't treat it as such. We apologize for any inconvenience our closing may cause, and will be open as usual at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22. In the meantime, we hope that those of you who are pray-ers will join us (at a distance, of course) in prayer, and regardless of your faith or non-faith tradition, we hope you'll share this post, and be thinking of the role you might be able to play in healing our community and our world. Please know that we value and are so grateful for your business and your friendship.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.
