We are so thrilled with our new and improved store front! Jen from .ca drew up a plan to really help make the store look beautiful. She is new to town and looking to help others with their patios or commercial fronts. I can’t recommend her enough- I’m obsessed with how it looks. Colorful and flowery- just how we like it.

We had an amazing discussion today with our Thursday afternoon book club. 13 women showed up to share their thoughts on “The Lady Vanishes” by Ethel Lina White. This book was written in 1936 and still holds up! It has also been made into a movie 3 times over the years and even once by Alfred Hitchcock in 1938

A mystery novel on the surface but a lot more to discuss. It’s great to read books from nearly 100 years ago that still hold up.

ps- book clubs are the best.
