Well, friends. Today we have some big news. Something that I am personally thrilled about. And I hope you are too. When Eric and I first opened our shop, almost a year ago, we were excited to bring handmade treasures to our very cute little town.

Last time around I posted pictures of part of the craft studio, which is my new favorite place to be. Today I’ll be sharing pictures of our newly organized retail space. It’s similar to the old set up, but so much more vibrant I think! When you first come in you’ll find paper goods from […]
