Uptown Confections & Curiosities

It’s just like Christmas Morning!

I arrived at the shop this morning to find a small box had been delivered, such a cute tiny box! What could it be? I didn’t recognize the company, what’s inside?

To my surprise it was full of stickers and magnets that I forgot I ordered! This is what happens when you live on 5 hours of sleep and scroll wholesale sites at 2AM!

I must have been doom scrolling before ordering these, I definitely see a theme…

CHECK THEM OUT!!!

Happy Friday!!!

I keep adding here and there to the different pop culture themes in the shop. We added to Gilmore Girls, Bob Ross, Mean Girls, Mister Rogers and The Office.

Yesterday was BUSY! We restocked Knock Knock sticky notes, list pads and many other funny stationary items.

The next two days we have to leave earlier than normal and will have shorter hours.
