Our bookish table just got a BIG restock! 📚✨

We’ve got murder mystery puzzles, fun new bookmarks, games inspired by some of our favorite authors, and so much more for all our fellow book lovers! 🕵️‍♀️📖

And because I can’t seem to resist a good seasonal find, we also brought in some cozy fall puzzles 🍂🧩 and a few cat goodies that were simply too cute to leave behind. 🐈💕

Another restock that came my way was from Maine Shellware! 💙✨

Their jewelry basically glows with the spirit of Maine and always feels like you’re carrying a little piece of home with you wherever you go. 🌲🌊

And for my birthday, I treated myself to one of their fantastic new ring designs! 💍 It’s classy and effortless. 🥰

Come check out the newest Maine Shellware goodies in the shop and find a little piece of Maine to take home with you! 🌊🐚

And then there’s something I cannot stop playing with! 😂 Introducing button spinners! These fun little fidget toys only require a slight movement of your hand to get them spinning, and with so many fun options to choose from, there’s sure to be a favorite for everyone! ✨

🍂 A Little Sunday Change! 🍂

Starting this week, we’ll be closing the shop on Sundays for the time being!

Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of year, and I want to make sure I have plenty of time to soak it all in, spending time with family, enjoying the cooler weather, and doing all of those fun fall things! 🧡🍁

So for now, Sundays are going to be my day to enjoy a little fall magic. 🍂✨

But don’t worry we’ll still be here!

Monday–Friday: 10AM–5PM
Saturday: 10AM–4PM
Sunday: CLOSED

This schedule will stick around for now and we’ll return to Sunday hours as we get closer to the holiday season! 🎄❤️

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little shop and understanding this little seasonal change! 🥰

🕯️🌲 I’ve been hearing sooo many good things about Downeast Doodle Candle, so I had to bring them into the store!

And now that they’re here… I’m absolutely in love. 😍 From the adorable labels featuring loons, Maine forests, and all those little touches that feel so Maine, to the scents themselves, these candles really do transport you to places that feel like home. 🌲🦆✨

Whether you’re dreaming of a quiet day in the woods, a cozy Maine cabin, or just want your home to smell like a little piece of Maine, there’s a scent waiting for you!

🐭🐰🐸 A little bit of handmade happiness! 💌✨

Mary’s cards are back on the shelves, and they might just be some of the sweetest little things in the store! 🥹💕

Mary has a way of turning every creature into the cutest little character. Each card is full of charm, personality, and that special handmade feel that makes you want to keep one for yourself instead of giving it away. 😂

Whether you need a birthday card, a little pick-me-up, a thank-you, or just an excuse to send someone some happy mail, there’s a sweet animal friend waiting to help you do it! 🐻🦊🐱💌

Come take a peek at Mary’s cards and find your favorite little critter! 💕

🍫 BIXBY CHOCOLATE RESTOCK! 🍫

We’ve got some delicious treats back in the store! We re-ordered a few of our favorites, including chocolate bars and chocolate-covered blueberries… but this time, we also brought in something NEW! 👀

✨ FUDGE! ✨

Pre-packaged, perfectly portioned, and oh so yummy! We have some great flavors to choose from, and don’t worry... I’ve already done the very important taste test. 😂

I can officially confirm: the fudge has passed the Monica test. 🫡🍫

Come grab some Bixby goodies for yourself… or pick some up to “share.” We won’t tell. 😉
