Reminder to our friends: we won't be open on our customary Wednesday (tomorrow) at Rimbert, as half the staff are out of town for a family thing. Here are some lovely pictures from our travel for your enjoyment!

1. Fair fish my nephew "lost," but still gets to take home from out of state.

2. The best little pony in Idaho.

3. Eleanor, working on her sunburn. (I wore sunblock!)

4. Sunset in one of the places in the world that is fully home-coded for me. ♡

We're working on some behind the scenes happenings and projects, and we're excited to share them with you all soon! Also, if you have any vintage hard suitcases to rehome, send me a message! 😘

For now, come see us tomorrow at Artist Danielle Rimbert on Callow Ave - we're doing a shorter day (10am-1pm), and with a limited curated selection, so we can all get ready to watch Rocky Votolato there later that evening. 🤘

Later this week, we'll be participating again in the Callow Makers Market at Rimbert Illustration for BremertonFirstFriday. Come out and see us and all the other local makers - I also saw a teaser from Heavy Jeens about this month's offering, and I'm so excited to see it! 🤩

We're down at Artist Danielle Rimbert again, and we've got some fun kids titles today, including some new ones! We're going to wrap up a bit early, around 2pm, because of the heat, so come take a look at these, some of our expanded nonfiction section, or pick out a novel to escape a bit. We'd love to see you!
