As you know, we've all been affected by Covid-19, one way or another.  And earlier this week, Charlotte and I announced on our social media platforms that we would temporarily close to the public.  ​ 

And, Don't Forget...our 12th Anniversary Sale & Shindig happens on Leap Day Saturday February 29th beginning at 10am.  See the event here.

See you soon!

Thanks to everyone that visited with us last night for the Art and Wine Stroll.  All our wonderful shops and restaurants in town put on an incredible evening, organized by the chamber.  
By far, our biggest feedback was about our punch, the Sparkling Pear Punch.  This was our "mocktail" - a little taste of something for our families to enjoy!  And, as you'll see...very simple to make!

Sparkling Pear Punch

2 cups pear punch
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup sugar
2 liters ginger ale
Sliced fresh Pear
-Pour pear juice into large punch bowl
-Add lemon juice
-Stir in sugar
-mix in ginger ale and top with fresh sliced pear.

Fresh pears came from Berry Town Produce (they are delicious all by themselves!) and should be more plentiful this Fall.  Also, pear juice, by itself, is sometimes hard to find in the grocery...check the baby food aisle.  And another guest last night suggested we add alcohol; now that you all have the recipe...you do you!

Let us know if you make it and modify this drink...we'd love to hear about what you create!

Cheers!

It's hard to believe Fall is upon us when the temperature is reaching into the high 90's, but the days are getting shorter already...making me believe there is the possibility of cooler weather...someday...maybe...soon! 

I've been shifting the store to a new Fall look despite what the thermostat says.  Its actually been a lot of fun because this is our FIRST Fall in our new location.

New flags arrived this week, a couple of them are easy to carry your garden or entrance from now through Thanksgiving. 

Also, a sure sign of Fall is Football.  This year I've really thrown myself back into jewelry design AND equally...clutter control since our big move in January.  So a box full of mismatch buttons became an inspiration for our new Spirit Wear line.  Plus my four year old twins were more than eager to separate color buttons for me!  Right now I've made a couple LSU Purple & Gold pieces but I hope to add more schools soon.  These button bracelets  and pendants are a lot of fun to make!

Summer is in the downward slope and I have my eye on Fall!  Whether it's Gilmore Girl pumpkin patches or football season...there's plenty to look forward to in the coming months.

New arrivals are beginning to dot our shelves, as I revamp for cooler days.

• love this new letterpress card AND keepsake laser cut ornament of the state of Louisiana.  More Details
• Also Kelly with Repurposed by KD, brought us some new birdhouses and signs...these are all made in Opelousas, LA
• Also, some very excellent enamel lapel pins from Paper Anchor; perfect for the plant lady in your life.  See them all here.
• New flags that are perfect to go between seasons.

The weather has been phenomenal lately and its just been a joy to bring all kinds of wonderful new Spring items in our new shop.  Though  she is small, she is mighty...yes, our store got a bit smaller, but now its filled with light from the advantage of our corner location.  And I have no problem moving everything vertical with our large ceilings.  Its a unique spot and if you haven't been yet...you're totally missing out!
