Compulsive

Even though the movers arrive in 10 hours, even though we are not done packing and I'm supposed to be unplugging the computer, I have to write. First I want to say thank you to everyone who I have talked to lately for their encouragement with the move, and with the new store, and with new beginnings in San Francisco. I will miss you all so it's good I'm returning to visit soon, to give a talk with Amy of Greenjeans at the final ACC Salon on September 20.

Webshop news: due to the traveling and transition, we will be reducing the number of products online and not be adding any new product for a couple weeks. You can of course find everything in the store but until things smooth out, shipping will slow down until around August 10.

And now for the fun part - boxes of inventory have been arriving even though we have been officially closed. A quick rundown of what you'll find after August 1:

Restock on leather bags by Rabeanco and Chat Chat, some favorite messenger-type styles in brand-new colors

Plenty of Nikki McClure's new book Collect Raindrops

New art and design books on a variety of topics

Restock on Tamara Shopsin's 5 Year Diary

New jewelry from Ach Ach Liebling

Restock on Serrote woodgrain notebooks and tablecloth notebooks

Cute new Sugarloop gocco prints and Apak! Studio animal alphabet prints

Lovely printed chipboard notebooks from Tenth and Grant

...and there must be more I can't even recall right now. Come visit soon, it is like a whole new store! Erin hung her clothing today and I was surreptitiously checking out all the dresses. There is an awesome dark purple graphic leaf-print one by Valhalla which I guarantee will be the first to go.
