Grand opening party
We had such a great time at this weekend’s grand opening party — thanks so much to all of you who came out! If you missed it, you really did miss out. For one, there was this cake:

Check out the pincushions for sale in the bowl next to the flowers — people have really been loving those lately. And speaking of loving… how’s this?

These are by a local artist named Pavia Lewis. They’re handknit pins, and they are beyond adorable. She’s taking them to Stitches this year but you heard about them here first!
Here’s a link to the ones we have in stock right now. If you want to order one via mail order or reserve a particular color for pickup here, click the buy now link. (Specify which color in comments, or let us choose)
