Good morning! I didn’t have a chance to take photos of the shop to post while I’m on vacation but that means I can post some fun pics I took at NAMTA instead. Here’s a friendly little drawing battle between Turtle Wayne for Micron and Chris Koehler for Pentel.

They had 10 minutes to draw the prompt. Swipe for the finished pics. Which pic gets your vote?

Shop hours for the rest of this week are:
Wednesday 1-6
Thursday 10-6
Friday 1-7
Saturday 10-5

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Going somewhere? Soolla bags are the perfect travel companion! Whether you’re traveling across town or around the world, you can stay creative with Soolla. These bags are roomy enough to carry all your essential supplies (and then some!) yet compact enough to slide right under the seat in front of you on a plane.

I love my Soolla bag and pouch because I’m always prepared to take advantage of downtime, whether that’s during a layover or even halftime at the soccer field.

Kalamazoo Dry Goods has lots of colors of bags and pouches in stock at the shop and online so you can pick out your favorite today!

Jasmine is a rockstar and will take good care of you in my absence.

Thanks so much for your support every day, and special thanks to the folks who stopped in before I left to give me an extra boost so I’m not stressed about money while I’m gone 🫶🏻 Love y’all.

Just a quick tip if you like to travel with oil pastels but don’t have a suitable container: the plastic cases that Extra gum comes in are perfect.

Tomorrow is the last day I’ll be in the shop until the middle of the week after next, so if you need fabric tomorrow is a great time to come in! No rolls will be cut while I’m gone, but quilting cottons will still be available.

I’m not sure how many times every week I “check in the back” for the all the random things people ask for but this was a real score today. Someone came in looking for fluorescent orange oil paint and when I said I didn’t have any she asked for fluorescent orange pigment. There is no reason I should have a jar of fluorescent orange pigment but I do. Two, in fact. So I was able to send my customer off with one and I still have another in my stash.

Kalamazoo Dry Goods doesn’t have *all* the things and never will, but there’s a good chance you can find all the things you need for your next project here, even if it’s something as random and unique as fluorescent orange pigment powder.

The shop is open until 7 tonight and 10-5 tomorrow, then closed Sunday and Monday. I hope to see you soon.

Hello out there! I’m back in the shop today, excitedly opening boxes of new supplies that were delivered in my absence. I’m especially excited about these Sailor Tuzu fountain pens and adorable mini ballpoint pens that will be available for adoption later today.

The shop is open regular hours, Tuesday through Saturday this week but hours will be adjusted next week because I’m taking my teenagers to California for vacation. I haven’t taken a full week off for 2.5 years so I’m beyond excited to immerse myself in adventure with them. I’ll finalize shop hours today so watch for that posting later this week.

I’m here until 6 today if you need any supplies or would like to escape the heat in a beautiful, air conditioned environment.

Look who came for a visit today! It’s Anna from Art Coop! If you’re an artist in the Chamgane-Urbana area you should definitely shop for your supplies at .coop.inc and support Anna and Hilary’s cool, independent, queer-owned art store.

Today was a wonderful day, filled with great people and new connections. Thanks so much for coming from near and far to explore Kalamazoo Dry Goods.

I’m flying to Florida for a couple of days for brush training with Silver Brush but Jasmine will be in the shop 10-6 on Tuesday and I’ll be back in time to open Wednesday morning.

I look forward to seeing your faces soon.

Progress pic! Here’s the new setup for acrylics and drawing supplies. This space was the classroom for a brief period and still holds fiber arts supplies in the other half, but I’m really loving developing this room more fully. What do you think?

Also, a couple of updates:
• the sale is on! Brushes, Sennelier and Caran d’Ache sets, Daniel Smith 15ml tubes, and Golden acrylics open stock are all on sale through Saturday.
• the shop will be closing a few minutes early today so I can make it to my son’s 8th grade promotion ceremony. I’ll be locking up at 5:45 to get there by 6.
• the shop is open 10-7 Friday and 10-4 Saturday (closing an hour early for soccer!). Please plan accordingly.

I look forward to seeing your faces :)

It’s a big weekend in Kalamazoo! With the KIA art fair and Pride both within blocks of the shop I thought it would be a good time to have a sale. 🙌🏻

The shop will be closing early (4:00) this Saturday due to soccer so please plan accordingly. I’ll open early though if I’m able!

Please remember there is free, easy, on-street parking right in front of the shop and all along South St. If it’s full you can pull into my driveway and park behind Lucille.

There’s also a bike rack out front so you can secure your ride if it has less than 4 wheels.

The sale starts now! Can’t wait to see you all!

I’ve been trying to make a sale post for a couple of days because I’m having a sale starting today. But I’ve been busy and got distracted by all the pretty things so I didn’t even take pics of most of the sale items and I’ve just been telling people about the sale when they come in 😭 I’m really not good at having sales I guess.

But there’s a sale on, though not necessarily on the things in these pics. 😂

I’m going to keep trying so maybe you’ll see a *real* sale post tomorrow but if not, please know there’s a sale happening now on :

Sennelier and Caran d’Ache sets
Princeton brushes
Arches watercolor blocks
15ml Daniel Smith watercolor tubes
and Golden acrylics!

So much good stuff, on sale now through Saturday!

Also Happy Pride because I also haven’t made that post but y’all know I love you 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I’ll try to make a proper Pride post very soon 🫶🏻
