Turning Corners & New Directions
Thoughts as Spring 2024 Arrives: I’m not going to say that the winter has flown by, but I have skimmed through it in a daze of busy-ness and extra paperwork [or data entry anyway] brought about by the necessity of switching POS system part way through last year, and maybe just plain winter blues, I don’t feel that I have accomplished a lot so far. If you read my New Year’s post [the first of 2024— Make Time]then you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say I haven’t. I haven’t made Time for much…

From Our House to Yours
We are wishing everyone, in our community, among our customers, and our wider audience, a lovely Thanksgiving. We hope that it is whatever you Like best in your Holiday.

The store is running a Sale for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. (Sale…

Almost Famous
Maybe Not Famous But Grateful ~ I am grateful for the friends we have made in Fort Davis, in Marfa and in Alpine, many of them small business owners themselves.

Many of these are regulars also, coming once twice or more often a year,…

The Dreams that you Dare to Dream
… Really Do Come True The summer flew by. We are settling into Fall after the fun and rush of having relatives from Florida [Daughter and Granddaughter to me; Sister and Niece to my co-workers] visit. I so enjoy doing the whole tourist experience in this area that I love so much. You get to see every thing with fresh eyes, and we get around to things that just get overlooked or put off in our day to day life. From Prada Marfa to the Château Wright Winery to munching lunch from a Food Truck,…

The Big Re-Brand
Changing it Up Besides a Name Change and some design decisions, we are also leaning more toward a circular economy model. We already carry both some vintage and quality used clothing and accessories (belts, scarves and jewelry, etc.). We also have always had an eclectic selection of vintage goods, household wares and decor items. I have dealt in vintage goods through my Etsy shop (recently closed) and other outlets for a number of years. I’ve been a collector since I was a teenager, as was my Dad. It believe it is in the blood.
