Sticker, sticker, whose got the sticker? Well, it's not a sticker... it's a cling! No sticky, sticker mess.
Great for local businesses to put on their doors! Great for car windows! Great idea, and you can get them for free at Russellville's Chamber of Commerce! Now, if they are not free... let me know because I took four.

Happy birthday, Arkansas! 🎉 Here’s what the county map looked like when Arkansas officially became a state. Some counties weren't added until years later.

Yesterday i made a trip to Russellville's favorite established and curated booth mall... Funky Town Mall to have a mini visit with Moo. She's fine. I found some booths with great patriotic clothing. I pictured a few of the items here, but there is more! Ask for the location of Teresa's booth. The repurposed blouses are from Janice's booth next door to her kin folk Teresa. It's called The Quilted Cow. What I love about their clothing is that the ladies are taken something that is gently used and repurposing it into a one-of-a-kind article of clothing that otherwise would have ended up in a land fill. We can only celebrate America's 250th once! Spend some money and support small, creative, local businesses.

I think it's time for all the businesses and offices to get this party started! America's 250 year celebration! I just finished decorating my storefront. Yes, even though Beatnik Angel is currently closed while I renovate the upstairs. I still felt the need to show some pride for our country's birthday. So, any businesses or property owners located in Historic Downtown Russellville want to join me... let's do this! I'm going to take pics and post all the patriotic decorations that are being put out and about in our Historic Downtown Russellville and give your business a shout out! Share yalls pics from your businesses and offices and front yards! I think this would be a lot of fun and stir up some happy time patriotic excitement in the community.

Historic Downtown Russellville discoveries around every corner. Months ago I took some pictures of the back wall of the Sweden's Florist building as that wall was being repaired. A layer of bricks removed exposed this amazing original window. I called the new owner of the building to beg them to save that window. If they are not going to use it, donate it to the Historic Commission. All the pieces of that 100+ window are present. It would be a sin if it was taken to the dump. One of the owners assured me that they had plans to save it, preserve it, and possibly hang it inside the property. Anyone who loves preserving the past thanks yall!
