New Store Hours
After much pondering and dithering and a little more pondering, I have decided to change up the store hours. What got me on this ponderous pondering path, you ask? Well, there really just isn’t enough time in the day for all the things my story-gremlin heart wants to do....

Maker’s Market 2020
My dream of running a bunch of workshops this year may not have panned out but I am pretty good at dreaming so I dreamed up something new. On October 18th, I held the first ever Maker’s Market right here in the shop. With Covid-19 wreaking havoc on large...
