Vote Shepherdstown! I'll go copy my post from my page if it doesn't pop up here and put it in the comments.

Considered the oldest town in West Virginia, Shepherdstown is located in the scenic Shenandoah Valley and known for a historic district with brick-lined streets, 18th-century colonial buildings, and a vibrant downtown adjacent to the river. During the Civil War, the town served as a massive Confeder...

It's the First Friday in February 2/6. There's music at the War Memorial Building and I am open until 8pm this evening.
New imported stickers have arrived! Including a bunch of these fun design your own space sticker sets.
I kept one of the small plant shop ones bc I'm in flowers mode. I'll share my version tomorrow.
Note: if you get multiple designs then you can mix and match the stickers from different sets and make truly unique compositions.

This is not a fun post. I am sorry.
I have removed the Noam Chomsky Secular Saint candles from the retail floor following last Friday's release of the Epstein Files.
I do not discount the considerable work he has done in the past. But he is no saint. There is no evidence that he engaged in island activities but his 2019 email to Epstein in which he speaks about the hysteria about the abuse of women is gross.

It's Friday 1/30. I'm open 12:30-7:00, 7:30 if I get carried away with making pipe cleaner flowers.
I'm starting another kit that has a few different techniques involved. I am really loving this craft in a way I hadn't expected.
I'm not part of the walkout people were planning for today. However I still have free whistles, can point folks to good sources of information, and my mannequins are wearing their protest signs.

I finished the bouquet of flowers kit. That was an extremely satisfying time investment. I used up all but 1 pipe cleaner they provided. Used the techniques from the instructions to make up some of my own ideas.
They say you can make 17 flowers but 15 is the absolute most you can make. For 18 bucks this was totally worth it. I've got the kits in the shop if you want to give it a try yourself.
