Carla has taught classes for the Funhouse Commons, Orcas Island Parks and Recreation, Poppie’s, and at Orcas Island School District.

Grannie’s Closet @ Orcas Senior Center – Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm

Grannie’s Closet offers household décor, kitchen and vintage items, crafting supplies and much, much more. Located in the front lobby of the Orcas Senior Center, Grannie’s Closet occupies only a few shelves. But with a constantly changing array of items, it’s worth checking what’s new on a regular basis. Grannie’s Closet is self-service, and each item is labeled with a suggested donation. All the profit goes directly to support the Orcas Senior Center, and all the items are donated to the Orcas Senior Center. Please come in and have a look! If you have items you wish to donate, OSC super volunteer, John Ehrmantraut, will gladly accept these on Wednesdays 10:30am-2pm or Thursdays 8am-12pm. Check us out!
