We are busy, busy bees over here! I love how new things are always coming in and everyone uses their special talents to ready the shop. Today when I arrived, Amanda D. was installing a new window display (photos to come next week), Rana was making photography magic, and Fushia was processing lovely new products. It was just a creative little beehive! Check out what’s new and what we’re up to this week.
New
Love this handkerchief set from Urban Bird & Co., Phases of the Moon calendar tea towel for 2016 is from Little Lark, cute little zip-up pouches for your keychain from ReFind Originals, and look at these sling shots with little felt balls from Little Lark! These are going to be a blast at family gatherings.
New books! Good ideas/ Bad ideas notebook from Tender Loving Empire, Shine Like the Sun and Reach for the Stars also from Tender Loving Empire, hardcover hand-bound books from Read Write Books, and Field Guide to North American Monsters by Alternate Histories.
Christmas Cheer print from The Oyster’s Pearl and Indianapolis print by Jodi Lynn’s Emporium of Doodles.
