Reusing & repurposing is now on Dougherty Ferry's radar 🗯️! Recently, a group of our Assisted Living & Memory Care residents took a trip to our local Goodwill 🏬to drop off some donations & hunt for some new craft ideas 👀! Inspiration struck between the linen & ...furniture isles with some AWESOME finds 🤩! A gently used quilted drape was PERFECT for our upcoming "Do It Your Selfers Club" handmade stocking craft 🧦 Holiday colors too❤️! When we returned to the community we got to work with our printed patterns 🗒️, pins 📍, a fabric cutter ✂️, & sewing machine 🪡. Out with the old & in with the new! We were so happy to give this fabric a new use & try out our first "thrift flip" ♻️!

Remember a few weeks ago when our Dougherty Ferry residents discovered the thrill of unraveling an unsolved case file 🗂️ 🧐?! WELL, our “Super Sleuths” 🕵🏼♂️ are back to investigate with a new & exciting game, Micro Macro Crime City 🔎
Poisoned soulmates ...☠️, stolen top hats 🎩🎣, & missing kitties 🐱 were just some of the mysterious crimes our Assisted Living and Memory Care residents had to solve by following the clues 📌 around the city map 🗺️
We had so much fun following the twists & turns of almost 100 characters, discovering different details within the map, and solving 16 various crimes 👀 🗡️! Our residents are excited to introduce this family-style mystery to you at a future family night 👩👩👦
Excitement is blooming at Rigden Farm as our seniors embark on a new adventure – crafting Rose Petal Lotion Bars in our very own apothecary! 🌹💫 The fragrance of roses fills the air as our creative seniors combine nature’s beauty with their skilled hands to make these delightful bars. Stay... tuned for the blossoming results of our first batch! 🌷🌟 #SeniorsCrafting #ApothecaryMagic #RosePetalLotionBars
A MONUMENTAL moment for our Friends of the Community group 👩🏻🤝👨🏽! After an almost year-long project of crafting our no-sew fleece blankets with love and hope for donation, we found the perfect place! Missouri Baptist Children's Home of St. Louis 🤝🏼. One of the ...leaders of our #FriendsoftheCommunity group, Joyce, was so proud to be able to go along for the ride for the drop-off of our 20+ queen-size, full-size, & bassinet-sized tie blankets to keep those children & families in need warm over the winter months ahead.
Von, their Director of Donations at the children's home, was so pleased with the donation and offered her gratitude to Joyce and the other members of our Friends of the Community group for taking the time to make such thoughtful gifts💜. The children's home will include these blankets in their holiday gift bags for all the families they assist throughout the year & for those in need over the winter/holiday season. We will continue to carry on our tradition of 2 blankets a month in the upcoming year as our residents are set on finding others in need of their creations 🥰
Watch until the end 😂✨ #GoldenTea
