So if you have some quirky skill, are an artist, own a store, run a bank, make stuff, cook stuff or are just a general Badasssssss and want to help an amazing cause, please drop us a line, [email protected] or message us here!
If you donate something great for them, we might be able to do something kind for you one day as well!!

All donations must be received by April 1 (not joking hahah)

So i want to share something with you all.
today, Wednesday, at 10am, i attempted to head outside to do our usual fun spiel about the specials etc. A extrmely tall, older fellow dressed all in black decided to block my way.
I asked him to please move back a bit.
He refused to do so. I asked him agsin, refused again. He then proceesed to tell me I was the one who had to move as he was waiting exactly where my boss told him to wait and i should just listen to my boss like he was. I akwardly laughed it off, after all, i didnt know him, and clearly he didnt know me. This customer then felt it was ok to press his body over mine and tell me again that I should toe the line.

I managed to squirm away and began to share with our waiting regulars what I’d wanted to say before being body blocked.

At the end I welcomed everyone in and possibly dropped in that as the owner, it was always my privilege to spend time with them.

Instead of being contrary or even politely embarrassed (or show some kind of remorse or contrition for being super inappropriate by touching me or making assumption about my roll) he then tracked me down in the store and tried to touch me again, as I was jumping away, making it clear I didn’t want his hands on me he said “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings precious princess”

Hurt my feelings?

Seriously mate.
I’m a short, cranky, perimenopausal middle aged woman, my body hurts from a decade of shlepping furniture, raising a toddler which means i havent slept for 5 years and in addition have recently started taking antidepressants because one of my extremely fantastic symptoms of middle age misfortune and menstral misfirings are feelings of rage.
And you want to touch me without permission and then insult me?

When you All see me next, please congratulate me on keeping my cool and not booting him out on his assests. But, be assured, I’ll be sure to do it wearing my sparkly tiara, because you gross old toad, I’m not a precious princess, I’m a goddamn QUEEN!

PS: the touching wasn’t s*xual in nature, it was designed to intimidate. It was unwelcome.

It’s mid September.
The sun is still clinging on, the ground is dry and our town is still perfection.

Here at The Predecessors we are winding up for the wind down! Hahahaha

We have cracked open the fall and Halloween decor and have gleefully spread it around with abandon for your shopping pleasure… ok ok, we never do anything with abandon but you get our drift.

We have half price McCoy and games, plus a HUGE new quilting and sewing room for you arty types!

We also have an incredible collection of Elephants!!

And most curiously we have a fantastical beer pull collection unlike anything we’ve ever had before! It’s a life time collection we are honored to have!

Come join us Wed-Fri 10-5, Sat 10-3.

The following video is said, very tongue and cheek. We in fact do not promote child labor. It just so happens that he is our child and he likes to help contribute to the good running of our store! (After all, it’s his store too).
