We’re holding Elsa and her loved ones close in our hearts. 🧡

Loss can feel heavy and complicated, and it often brings up memories of the people we miss most. If you’re feeling that, you’re not alone.

Our shop has always been more than a place to find something special, it’s a place to connect. If you feel like stopping in, we’re here. Come share a story, a memory, or just spend a little time together.

In honor of Elsa, all orange items are 50% off. 🧡

She will always be loved and remembered, and we’ll continue to show up for one another as a community.

We’re hiring! 🛍️

For the first time, we’re introducing a part-time Store Assistant role!

This role includes helping customers, keeping the store organized, and supporting day-to-day operations alongside our team. Our environment is best suited for someone who’s flexible, self-motivated, and comfortable jumping between tasks as the day shifts.

Hours are part-time (about 8–10 hours per week) with some flexibility based on store needs.

We’re looking for someone to help keep our store welcoming, organized, and running smoothly. If you enjoy working with people, staying busy, and creating a positive atmosphere, this could be a great fit.

Interested? Stop by the store to drop off your resume or send it electronically to our Store Manager, along with a short note about why you’d be a great fit.

Know someone who’d love this? Feel free to share! ✨
