Larkstone

We've been working on our website so that it expresses our store's brand identity better. We needed an element that shows what the store is like inside, but also that it's part of a larger place. Sai Flys Drones 🛸 shot this drone footage for us.

Hey, if you have more butterfly facts for the class, post them up in the comments!!!

Shout out to Saint James Lancaster PA for the beautiful pollinator gardens.

Labor Day sale goes until 9/6.

BOGO 50% off on red sticker markdown items.
There is a LOT to choose from out on those clothing racks.
Some of the backpacks are marked down as well!

Our pal Bri is working the store on the weekends until the end of October while we sell the Emily M stuff up at the Renn Faire.

For frame of reference, the “normal” school backpack is about 26 liters.

The “flair” backpack from Osprey is basically a really nice version of the classic backpack.
I personally prefer a sternum strap from a back of this size, but a lot of people prefer the more simple profile.

We have a lot of options to choose from, the best way to make a choice is to see them in person and try them out, so come on down to Larkstone!

It’s back to school season. If buying a new backpack is part of your yearly re-fresh, consider buying one that will hold up for the rest of your life!
The Astronovia pack from Osprey Packs is a fantastic option for folks who love to keep it simple, yet still functional and ergonomic.
Swing by the Larkstone to explore the options in person, but stuff in the packs, and try them on!

Check out Millie L - Embroidery Artist 🧵🪡✨ and maybe try to catch them at a vending show! In the mean time, we love carrying these charming stickers.
Most of the stickers, patches and graphic tees we carry are from independent artist owned brands. They don’t always get specific shout outs, but I really love them. We rotate through stuff to keep the inventory fresh, so check it out often!

It’s gonna be a cats dreamscape here at Larkstone for a while.
