Eventful day!

Yesterday was indeed an eventful day for us!

We started off the day with a class of 30 kids coming in to check out our cookies and bookstore. It was kind of fun seeing the place full of new people who didn’t know we were here before, and some of them had great questions for us.

Then, we carried on with our regular lunch, but in the afternoon, we started moving furniture to prepare for a sound check, and then a concert in the evening. If you weren’t here, you missed a great show. Sean’s music is incredible – sometimes moving and at other times, incredibly funny. I have to admit that I didn’t know his music before we booked his show, but I can see why he’s won so many awards. It was great!

We’re back! With More Books and More Yarn!

Posted by mtlaise - 02/01/13 at 05:01:34 pm

Did you all have a nice break before jumping into this new year? We had a bit of a break, but we’ve been very busy over the holidays, too.

Some of you may remember the days when we first opened with a grand total of 15 bookshelves… Last year, we added an additional 7 bookshelves in order to get more books out. Over the holidays, we added another 19 bookshelves for a grand total of 41 – nearly 3 times more in total than we had to start! Come check out all the new titles.

Or, if you’re more of a knitter than a reader, come check out our new yarn and needles on display. We even got in the Cascade 220 Handpaints that we’ve been waiting for since before the end of the world that didn’t happen! :)
