It is late (early?) and a week to end all weeks. Tax deadlines are approaching, school has been out all week (equals Finn has had to endure full days with Mommy at the shop), there is a mountain of laundry to be washed and packed before we leave for a weekend trip to Virginia, and end-of-the-month bills and paperwork are upon me. If March came in like a lamb (and didn’t we love every sunny minute of it?), then this is the lion! If I was gnashing my teeth and hiding under my covers, it could actually be forgivable.

Except that today, the last whiff of March, was a banner day…

Earlier this month, one of our favorite indie celeb locals, Jan DiCintio of Daisy Janie, wrote a lovely post recapping her handmade purchases of 2009.  Guess what local shop made the list?  You guessed right!  Thank you, Jan, for your kind words and great buys.  How lucky were the good boys and girls on your Christmas list?!
From Jan’s post, here is a great pic of the items she brought home in 2009:
1. tinsel time linen teatowel from sara smedley
2. pinecone charm necklace from michabella creations
3. large zippered vegan tote from emily lazo
4. vintage …

Shame on me. I never did take a minute to publicly thank you for such an amazing first season. From the day our doors opened in September, we have been blessed with a stream of lovely, enthusiastic customers, admirers, and kindred spirits.

I must confess, we didn’t know you were out there….
