There’s something a little profound when the “Living Brave” portion of the photo is a little blurry, while the Transformation image is crystal clear. It’s hard to live brave, isn’t it? It’s trying new things and pushing through anxiety. It’s “doing it scared,” which can be exhilarating and terrifying, especially if you’re like me and not crazy about great unknowns!

So here’s to being brave, going with the flow, and all the new adventures that stretch and transform us. xoxo

Thanks to you, there was a fancy Thursday night in the big city. In a world that seems to thrive on clicking and pixels and speed, thank you for loving us, and all your local favorites. xoxo

Ahoy there! Sending you so much Friday love! My employer and I have a dumpster coming this weekend (thank you thank you ), so there’s some clean-up happening on the home front. Till then, we’ve got Friday and Saturday with some new Jellycat pals, and a whole lot of Shopgirl stuff on the agenda. xoxo

Lots of new ways to love your local around here. Maritime Tribes is one of our very favorite local brands, and not only because Trip personally delivers to us on his way home. More to come in the days ahead, so keep this stuff in mind for your grads and guests! xoxo

While I’m so grateful for the present mom moments, I can’t help but miss the dandelion bouquets and the kid running at top speed, arms thrown wide for those big big hugs. Sending so much love out there for each of you. xoxo

In non-retail news, I’d like to wish Duffy the happiest 17th birthday ever. This dog has melted my crazy cat lady heart in all the best ways, and I’ll love him forever. He eats with one-toothed gusto, chases the cat so she knows who’s boss, and does his best chalk-outlined canine Law and Order victim impression when he sleeps. He’s just such a good little dude. So happy day to you. Duffers sends his little old dog love your way. xoxo 🐾

My employer and I have been working harder than usual, mixing it up in all the best ways. Spring is springing. xoxo
