🍲 Have you ever wondered what it takes to make a bowl?

Come down to Artists’ Own Friday night during the Starry Night Festival for a pottery-making demonstration and see how bowls are made on the potters wheel!

All bowls created during the demonstration will be donated to Lum’s Empty Bowl, helping support this wonderful community cause. 💙

Come watch, learn, and celebrate the art of pottery while giving back to our community!

We hope to see you there! ✨

Archie's new release of the week is Strange Bedfellows by Amanda Mortlock !! It's a dark, sexy story about a girl who is sometimes a cat, the witch she loves, and the secrets from her past that could ruin everything!

Archie made his mom and dad change their "no dogs in bed" rule with the power of his will so he'd like to use his powers once again to convince you to buy this book.
