We have been negligent in promoting our Book Store within Ben Franklin. Our Scholastic order finally came in today so we are getting set for your summer reading needs. We should have the book store updated with a ton of new books by middle to late June. We are waiting on some orders to arrive now. Happy Reading!

More updates. First off, we have more Squishy toys back in stock. Both large model orders came in as well. We got more sewing notions in as well as finally finding PUL waterproof diaper fabric. That was a joy to try to find. We got 4 different colors in. The DIY craft sets (houses, rooms, etc) are back in stock as well as various other craft items. Enjoy the wonderful weather!

Well, parking MAY be an issue today and some of tomorrow. Our parking lot is being resurfaced and it is causing some issues for parking right now. By noon or so they should be cleared out for today. Patchwork will continue tomorrow and a couple of days next week will be clear coat and striping. I will post updates here. But for the next hour or two parking is best in the second entrance off of Washington Rd directly.

We have heard you and we have begun to deliver. Lucienne just got back from Kansas City with a load of apparel fabric and flannel. We are still on the hunt for more material so this is just the beginning. All the fabric shown is now out for sale in the store. Have a great Memorial Weekend!

We have been experiencing a few growing pains. One of which came up from a customer post today and I hope to address it here. We need someone to vacuum the store. It cannot be done during business hours as it is way too busy and we have no staff available to do it in evenings. Rather than go to a cleaning company I thought I would first post here to see if anyone is interested in getting some hours to vacuum. If you have your own vacuum all the better and I can pay a bit more for that. If interested drop me a message. It will be after store hours (6pm to 8 or 9pm and day is flexible).
