A little late, but that’s the brand✨
2025 was quite an exciting year for us, but we are so grateful for all of it! In 2025 we got to meet some old friends and new friends, new business friends, and try new markets, while still popping up at some of our favourites like Parkdale Pride hosted by and the Swiftie Market by our friends .planned.ottawa !
After making the tough decision to keep our Etsy shop closed for the year, we really piled on markets to ensure we could still offer our book lovers what they needed, and did markets in Chatham, Kitchener, Embrun, and Greely, not just Ottawa! Doing these markets was really a labour of love and we are so grateful for all of our market helpers, from friends, to family, to other small business friends helping us out! Finding a home for us to settle in towards the end of the year at was just what we needed, and cannot thank GGM and all the resident vendors who welcome us!
We hosted our first bookish night out and currently are planning our next since we received such great feedback! We can’t wait to start hosting our own events and collaborating with others inside and outside the bookish community here in Ottawa, and maybe even in Chatham too!
We finally named our sweet little mascot, and got to celebrate this with some of our most loyal customers and followers!
Thank you for the lovely bouquet that was 2025, we really are married to the hustle now and can’t believe how lucky we are to get to do this for our THIRD year in business!
We’ll be taking the briefest of breaks, to recoup, recover, and restock for 2026! We’ll see you soon!
Stay bookish forever,
J&S🐸📚
