Ruth & Ruby

I’ve never been a Dunkin fan until recently. Turns out I just didn’t know what to order because I don’t like their iced coffee. Iced latte on the other hand…. Top tier. What’s your order? I will put mine in the comments.

I’ve had a really hard day so I went back down to the shop after dinner. One of my favorite things to do is gift baskets. Bowls, boards, whatever you want to call them. I love putting these together for my REALTOR clients. These gifts don’t have to be just for closing gifts though. They make great Christmas, bridal shower, birthday or even “I’m thinking of you” gifts. Each of these are different price points. My clients just send me a text and give me their request with budget and I do the rest. Locals can pick up in store at Good Threads. Which bowl/board is your favorite?

This one is getting a refresh today!! I’ve already got the top sanded down. Help me with the bottom. What color should it be??
I’m not sanding the bottom down too. I don’t have time for that 😂

Listen, I know it’s still hot outside but I have been craving our red pepper corn chowder like crazy so I just went ahead and made it. Maybe it’ll bring in some cooler temps 😂😂
So here it is… this photo is as real as it gets. Nothing aesthetic, or AI enhanced because I wanted to show you what it really looks like when made at home. It only took 30 mins and I’m enjoying it in dim lighting & thinking about starting Gilmore Girls over again. Gluten free and nothing artificial! You can grab yours from the website or in store at Good Threads. Our soups are a pantry staple! Link 🔗👇

I followed the instructions on the package. Added shredded chicken (amt to your hearts desire. I did about 12 ounces) and I tossed in about 1 cup of shredded cheddar.

Oh!! And it fed our family of 6️⃣ with some leftover.

It’s not often I’m left without words. 🥰 I’m feeling really thankful today. God did a “suddenly” with this move and putting it all together and I’m EXCITED to see what’s ahead.
Make plans to stop by today, 10-6!

Tomorrow is the BIG day. We’re so excited to be a part of Good Threads and The Local Collective. Please stop by and say hello and make your free mini project! Our room is located in the back of the store just past the dressing rooms.

Open 10-6
Make & Take available 10-2 or while supplies last!

I can’t wait for you to see this beautiful space. It’s really special for me to be under the same roof with my precious friends. 🥰

The IOD Winter 2026 release is becoming VERY limited! I have 2 of the Silent Night Mould left so go grab it! It would make PRECIOUS cookies for Christmas too! What do you think of these tag ornaments Sabrina made?? I will put everything she used to make these in the comments.

Here are a few of the ornaments we made last week with the new IOD winter release. We used Charlbury Lane and Old Colchester Road.
Charlbury did sell out but we have a very few Colchester left. Grab one while you can! 🔗👇

On my live earlier, I told you about the first coat looking rough. This is where a lot of people throw in the towel because they think “this looks terrible. I’m not wasting my time doing another coat”
HEAR ME WHEN I SAY:
Do the second coat. I promise it gets better. Almost always, the first coat looks like a 4 year old did it no matter your level of expertise. Especially depending on what the finish currently is.

I am excited to see Borne Unique Boutique’s Jewelry on this piece. It has moved all over both of my store locations and booths for paint. But today, we reimagined it for a totally different craft and maker. 🥰 If you’re ready to refresh your space, a little paint can make a world of difference.

Ps… the 2 blue stripes I left, is getting decoupage paper so no need to paint it dark.
