The Friendly Town

Well, would you believe it, I have readers!
So many people have introduced themselves to let me know they've been following my blog. 
How disappointed you all must be that I've been such a slacker in the blogging department.
Send me comments people!
If I'd known so many of you were out there I'd have written sooner.

You know who you are.
Hello!!

So let's talk about the shop for a minute.
Blackbird is rocking and rolling these days. Our weekends are getting busier and I'm back in the shop full days Fridays and Saturdays now.

Almonte's looking pretty fantastic lately too. We have some new shops, gorgeous store front makeovers and lots of great ideas on the horizon.

So hey! You there! 
Been to Funmonte lately? 

Had a brewskie on the new Barley Mow patio overlooking the Mississippi River?
Walked with an ice cream down the Riverwalk?

Enjoyed a locally roasted fair trade coffee at the Groundz?
Peeled your thighs from the charming burgundy vinyl seats after breakfast at the Superior?
Twirled in a crinoline prom dress at Vintage Wear/Ware?
Indulged in a glass (or three) of vino at Fitzgeralds?
Giggled over the New Yorker cards at Blackbird?
You're kidding me.
You haven't? Are your legs broken? Did your car die?
Are you ALLERGIC to fun?
I have a new baby at home and not only do I manage to enjoy downtown Almonte practically daily, I sleep here!

So come to Almonte. 
Come on. 
It'll be fun.

You already know a great tour guide. 
I'll just get Clem to watch the shop while we go for ice cream.
She's got to earn her allowance somehow damn it.

  1. Do write. We read it. We swear. I have done nearly everything on your list of Almontean suggestions. I love that you're an Almonte Ambassador. We couldn't be more well represented!

  2. I was in your shop on Tuesday and was going to mention that I always read your blog; but you were chatting with a craftslady about the upcoming show, and then chatting with someone else about the giant size of your baby (or two!).

    We read, we are aware! We love your shop!
