Hi friends, new and old! We’ve gotten some extra attention lately after a Facebook post made the rounds yesterday. To everyone who found us through that post: we’re so glad you’re here!
That said, we want to clear up some confusion.
First of all: we’re not a warehouse. Our shop is a cozy 250-ish square feet, packed to the brim with art and craft supplies. We’d love to move into a giant space one day…but for now, we love our tiny spot in our sweet neighborhood.
Second: we don’t sell “scrap.” Because our space is small, we curate ~~heavily~~. When we get donations that don’t 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!). What’s 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 frustration…) with their brain and their own two hands. That post that helped a bunch of y’all find us (and the accompanying article) were AI-generated slop with a headline that doesn’t even describe us accurately. We love attention (I’m a Leo if you’re curious) but we’d really rather get it from human beings, not robots. We didn’t know about this article until after it was live, and we would have asked the creators not to run it if they’d given us a say.
I’m not going to link directly to the post (because I don’t want to send them more traffic) but I’ll 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 – a cozy, curated secondhand craft supplies store – and aren’t disappointed when they come visit.
Okay! Now that’s all off my chest, I really hope all you folks who just learned about us will come and see us. But please don’t expect a warehouse! If it’s 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.
