This Saturday is SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY folks! We’ll be opening early, at 9am, and the first 10 people will receive free swag bags! This is one of the most fun days of the year for us and we’d love to help you get your holiday shopping done early!

Also, just feast your eyes on all the new goodness we have in the shop. If you say “GUH,” get ready, ’cause your about to say it a LOT.

New

“Like a real tattoo, but fake.” This beautiful artwork is designed by real tattoo artists!

Love these bright red jars for the new scent from The Onyx Exchange. Lots of new books are now on the floor, including this one which is full of the cutest penguins! Glak Love has brought us lots and lots of new designs for these adorable glass ornaments, and Katydid has brought us an ornament version of her popular Holiday Monument print!

Paper cut ornaments new from Geez Louise Design, What Did I Buy Today? book (maybe for AFTER the holidays…?), bright and shiny cake toppers from Sweet Escape, and I can vouch of the cuteness and enjoyability of This is Sadie.

The new felt friends from Happy Grey Skies almost have me in tears from their intense cuteness. I can’t. Stop it.

Lots of different projects from Thomas Houha Designs, perfect for the hands-on type, delicious new caramels from Sweet Jules, and bright realistic dino pillows from Broder Press.

Sleeping Kitty and Sleeping Puppy plates GUYS from Early Bird Designs, Happy and Home tea towels from Tender Loving Empire, and a restock in these beautiful soaps from Freedom Soap Co.

We have lots and lots of amazing new goodies from the Philadelphia based Peg and Awl- all made from reclaimed wood!
