October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month💗

A time to recognize those who have been impacted by breast cancer, honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and support those who are currently facing a diagnosis.

We’re adding a little extra pink to our feed today as a reminder of the importance of awareness, education, and supporting one another.
This month, and always, we stand with everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.

We’re weaving again! 🧺

Last year, we had the pleasure of welcoming Amy Stewart and Abby Ahrens of 65Willows to ARI for a hands-on willow weaving workshop, and we had such a wonderful time learning, creating, and seeing everyone’s pieces come together!

We’re excited to welcome them back again this October for a workshop with a festive twist. This time, we’re celebrating “Christmas in October” and learning how to create small woven ornaments, including trees, stars, and snails.

Whether you joined us last year or are completely new to weaving, we’d love to have you! There's still spots left!

Celebrate National Public Lands Day!

Today we celebrate the outdoor spaces that give us opportunities to explore, learn, and connect with the natural and cultural history around us.

Public lands protect important landscapes, wildlife habitats, historic places, and archaeological resources for generations to come. Now more than ever, it’s important that we recognize the value of these spaces and do our part to protect and preserve them.

Celebrate by getting outside, learning something new, and leaving the places you visit better than you found them!

🍂 Fall is here!

The first day of fall has arrived, and we’re welcoming a new season at ARI Outfitters! (Hopefully) cooler days, changing leaves, and crisp autumn adventures make this the perfect time to get outside, explore, and enjoy everything the season has to offer.

Stop by the shop and browse our fall favorites, like cryptid anomalies, spooky books, and mysterious puzzles. There’s a little something for every fall lover!

Come celebrate the season with us and find your new fall favorite.
