New spooky socks are here! 👻

Say hello to your new “char-boo-terie” board. 🥹👻 You could probably sample these mouthwatering new chocolate bars on it…👀

Bicycle pizza cutter AND bicycle chains?? This combo rivals peanut butter and chocolate….👏🏼

Looking for an excellent rainy day activity? Come enjoy this celebration tonight at the University YMCA!

Spoooooooky season has arrived! I realize I’m “late” according to the retail calendar but in my defense, the weather is being rude. 🥵😂

It’s baaaaack! We’ve collected some incredible gently used pieces (and even some fixtures!) that need new homes. We’re also discounting all remaining clearance items so we can make room for all of the amazing holiday pieces coming in. 🥳

‘Tis the season for Sunday projects! The next several weeks are going to be SO fun….👀🎨👻🍁

My view for the last three days. Buying for the holidays might seem like barrels of fun, and while it's not NOT fun, it's also one of the most stressful things I do all year.

What's the right mix of favorites and new products? How many different ornaments do we need? Do we have a good representation of craft varieties and countries represented? How much money can we actually spend? Will people show up? What if they don't like what we have? I think it's cute, what if no one else does? Did I buy too much of this? Did I buy too little of that? Did I triple check the bank account? Where are we going to put it all? How will we get the help to unpack it? DO WE HAVE ENOUGH CHOCOLATE?

It's exhausting. It's exciting. It's terrifying. Every small business faces it and I truly believe that everyone reading this already knows the importance of showing up for your favorite shops during the holidays. But my humble ask is that, perhaps, you show up in the next month or two as well? When we've taken the leap of faith to buy all sorts of goodies for our busy season and are not sleeping, wondering if we made the right decisions. Even if it's not a purchase right now, let us know you won't forget us for the holidays. Share us with your friends and family. Visit our website (sorry the catalogue is still clunky) for a sneak peak of what's coming this season as we receive it. Give us a wave as you walk by.

It all helps.

And for your first spoiler, there are 187 different ornaments coming atcha this season.😎

Lovingly dubbed “cotton candy” llamas are here. And they’re here to bring you joy.😅🥳

POV: stormy day fun = a new shipment of boxes and using the new branding for the first time ⛈️🤗
