About the books:

Carpet Creatures: Tales from the Deep Pile

$8 (paperback)

It all started with a carpet and a sketchpad. Storyteller Joanne Shwed has created compelling vignettes of fictional characters, each living in a moment of time. Based on portraits by illustrator Thomas A. Ekkens, who was inspired by the play of light and shadow in carpets, Shwed spins her yarns cleverly with a twist at the ends.

Backpocket Crosswords: Handmade Puzzles

$8 (paperback)
$12 (spiral-bound)

This is the first collection of Joanne’s 24 handmade crossword puzzles. First-time as well as seasoned puzzle doers will find them entertaining and challenging.

Backpocket Crosswords (Volume 2): Handmade Puzzles

$12 (spiral-bound)

We hope you enjoy this second collection of 24 new handmade crossword puzzles, including a cover photograph by Thomas A. Ekkens.

Collected Poetry of Thomas A. Ekkens—Early Works

$12 (hardcover)

This one-of-a-kind art, music, and poetry book includes a self-portrait, an original song, a custom-designed typeface, a tipped-in oil painting (frontispiece) of the author, and additional artwork.

---Florey's will be closed Sunday, August 1st, 2021 in observation of our wedding anniversary---

We will be open again Monday, August 2nd. I'll be here at the shop to handle your orders during regular hours, 10am until 6pm every day. Please call or email if you have questions or orders in mind.

We are open again for in-store shopping. Just please be considerate of others while you browse. We still have hand sanitizer right at the front counter as well.

Hello everyone, time for another irregular update. Thank you to all of our customers and friends for the support and your continued orders and purchases. It is because of you that we are still here!

---Florey's will be closed Monday, May 31st, 2021 so I can spend my wife's birthday with her.---

We will be open again Tuesday, June 1st. I'll be here at the shop to handle your orders during regular hours, 10am until 6pm every day. Please call or email if you have questions or orders in mind.

As for any other changes, I am set to get my second shot on the 15th so am feeling more confident with folks back in the store in small numbers. Feel free to come by if you'd like a look around, but please wear a mask. We have hand sanitizer at the front counter.

Thank you all again. Stay well!

Hello everyone, I know it has been a while since there has been an update. First I want to thank everyone for all the support and orders during the holiday season. December has been quite busy here filling orders, direct-to-home shipments, and curbside pick ups. It has been a trying time for all of us in different ways, so I am truly grateful for all of your support, business, and kindness.

Florey's will be closed January 1st and 2nd, 2021. I want to take a couple days off, to rest and recharge.

We will be open again Sunday, January 3rd. I'll be here at the shop to handle your orders during regular hours, 10am until 6pm every day. Please call or email if you have questions or orders in mind.

Florey's could not have made it through this year without you.
Thank you all again. I hope everyone has a great and healthy 2021!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post some photos of some of our current books we have on hand. Remember that the winter holidays are coming soon, and we'd be happy to get any gift books you might be after. We can even have books shipped directly to friends or family that live out of the area.

I'm still being extra cautious with the virus situation, but please give me a call or send an email. I look forward to getting you the books you want! Stay well, everyone.
