Hi friends, new and old! Weāve gotten some extra attention lately after a Facebook post made the rounds yesterday. To everyone who found us through that post: weāre so glad youāre here!
That said, we want to clear up some confusion.
First of all: weāre not a warehouse. Our shop is a cozy 250-ish square feet, packed to the brim with art and craft supplies. Weād love to move into a giant space one dayā¦but for now, we love our tiny spot in our sweet neighborhood.
Second: we donāt sell āscrap.ā Because our space is small, we curate ~~heavily~~. When we get donations that donāt fit the space, we either give them away for free, or sell them at a steep discount during our periodic yard sales (another one coming soon!). Whatās sold in the actual shop is all quality, never scrap.
Third: AI gives us the ick. We love artists. We love DIYers. We love anyone who creates something with love and care (and tears and frustrationā¦) with their brain and their own two hands. That post that helped a bunch of yāall find us (and the accompanying article) were AI-generated slop with a headline that doesnāt even describe us accurately. We love attention (Iām a Leo if youāre curious) but weād really rather get it from human beings, not robots. We didnāt know about this article until after it was live, and we would have asked the creators not to run it if theyād given us a say.
Iām not going to link directly to the post (because I donāt want to send them more traffic) but Iāll share some screenshots in my story if you want context. If you do run across the post: please like/engage with my comment, so it hopefully shows up at the top. I want to make sure folks who learn about us know what we really are ā a cozy, curated secondhand craft supplies store ā and arenāt disappointed when they come visit.
Okay! Now thatās all off my chest, I really hope all you folks who just learned about us will come and see us. But please donāt expect a warehouse! If itās too packed when you stop by, go give our neighbors a visit: Irvington Vinyl & Books, Magpie Studio and Gallery, Snug, Strange Bird, Hampton & Co, Market Vintage, and so many more.
