In our feathery layers of black,

we are sister crows flying directly into midnight,up over Main Street and our sleeping kitchens, following star trails, trusting in moonlight, hoping to land in Paris by dawn. -Diane Hanna

Lots of headbands, hats, masks, and black and orange jewelry to take you from day to Halloween night! Perfectly accessorize your outfit for a bit of fun or a full blown masquerade party!

visiting Treehouse

Today, I took a trip down the lane to our sister/brother store, Treehouse.
I wanted to record the store before the big SALE starts Friday!
As you can see the store is full of unusual treasures.
All the bags are 30% off.
recycled lanterns
Stock up on birthday,friendship and all occasion cards
glass from Chichicastenanga
summer dresses 50% off
and lots of groovy rings
come visit , say good-bye, pick up some deals, hear a tall-tale from my husband David. We will close that location when the goods run out.

Washi Tape

I was finally converted to washi tape once I saw these giant rolls on poppy talk. Washi tape always appealed to me, with all of the fabulous colors and print, but now I am a true believer in how functional it can be.

-So when I popped back down to the store yesterday, I was pleased as could
be when I saw the huge collection of the traditonal smaller tape we now carry.












I took a couple rolls and transformed our normal craft jewelry boxes by layering different tapes on top of each other. It is super easy, and almost full proof with all the different tapes. We might not have the large tape, but you can get the same tonal effect on almost anything -votive and vases, window panes, gift packaging- with our smaller rolls of tape. Priced between $3-4
