NEW HOURS!!

Beginning tomorrow, Thursday 9/10, we will have extended hours on Thursday evenings! Come explore the beauty of downtown in the evening.

We are super excited to extend not only our hours for you but our programming. Beginning next month, we will be hosting Thursday evening Literary Salons.

Our Literary Salons are like open book clubs and will be free and open to the public. You need not have read the chosen book to come. Just come for the community. We will also have silent reading nights, open mic nights, all the things….

We will be posting the October calendar soon so stay tuned. It will be posted here, our website, and of course in store.

We are so happy to be your local independent bookstore. Thank you for a glorious five years. We can’t wait to see what continues to unfold…..🌺

For those needing a mid week pick up, here you go!

Couldn’t help but capture the beauty and magic in this.

I have a friend Tiffany Cagwin | FDN-P | Holistic Health | Quantum & Circadian who is challenging everyone this month to observe the magic around you. Follow her. Challenge yourself!

Magic: Getting so lost in a well written book, you lose all track of time…aah. Magic indeed. 🌺

It’s September folks! The meteorological beginning of fall!

We turn 5 this weekend! Opening this bookshop has exceeded our dreams and we have all of you to thank for that!

We are also celebrating the grand opening of our new space featuring previously loved, vintage, and rare books as well as fine art (can you believe we expanded twice in 5 years?!)

Complimentary mimosas all day Saturday! We have some other giveaways commemorating our 5 year anniversary while supplies last. Come celebrate with us!

There are other events happening down town as well as some events that we are hosting. Please call, email, or message us here for more details.

Lastly, we are extending our hours! Beginning 9/10, we will remain open Thursdays until 8pm.

That’s all for now. October is full of great things so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy September and don’t forget to support your local businesses. We would not be here without you and we appreciate you more than you know. 🩷🌺

What a great evening! Great w**e! Thank you Richard Venice W**e and Coffee Company for choosing the perfect w**es for the evening! Both were a hit.
Fantastic crowd! Thank you to our local community and those that traveled from a far just for the event. It was a pleasure speaking to each and every one of you!
I was supposed to be taking pictures of the event but spent more time chatting and being present. So again here’s the wonderful w**e we served (many of you asked) as well as the folks that make our bookshops great places to be. You know who you are. ❤️

A bottle of red….. 🎶

Tomorrow is the end of summer w**e walk!!!

Both of our locations will be participating. This is a great opportunity to check out our new “book gallery” if you have not had the chance. It’s full of wonderful previously loved books and fine art! Does it get any better?

We will be pouring sparkling rose (perfect for this heat wave) as well as Cabernet Sauvignon.

Come visit all of your historic downtown businesses as we keep our doors open late to greet you.

Thursday, 8/13, 5-8pm: Historic Downtown Venice W**e Walk
