Well, wouldn't you know it...

Immediately after someone popped in to see if we had Father's Day cards out, our new ones arrived to the store! Seems kind of like they maybe could have shipped them sooner... but that's ok- they're here, just in time for the big day !

It will take a little bit, but we’re working on getting them up on our website right now. A few will be featured on our website's landing/home page, but you can see them all by going to the GREETING CARDS tab on our site and cruising to the FATHER'S DAY CARDS section. Better yet, stop into the shop and read them, and all our other hilarious cards when you get a chance this week or next. JUST REMEMBER... we have to order these in small batches, so there are only a few available in each style, meaning the earlier you do it, the better. 😉

CALATHEA FANS, GUESS WHAT?!?

We just got in a new round of Calathea plants, including the Rattlesnake, Fishbone and Zebrina varieties that aren't always easy to find! You can see and purchase them on our site, or stop by to take a look in person grab the one that really stands out to you.

Oh, wow! If you haven't tried our latest Top Shelf truffles, you're missing out!

They're bigger than you'd think a truffle would be- definitely sharable, although you won't want to.

Our latest arrivals are Birthday Cake, Gimme S'more, Wedding Cake, Red Velvet and Sea Salt Caramel... and they all taste just like their name. Truly decadent!

If you have an outdoor wedding or celebration coming up, this might be for you! I have one of these lighted arches left at the shop, for only $20. I found this style easy to assemble, without needing another person’s help.

If interested, comment ‘next’ and we’ll reach out.

Of course, to be fair, first comment gets first dibs. 😊
