What’s New?
It’s Thirsty Thursday!! And it’s the start of a holiday weekend! And we got you covered!
$6 6R Growler Refills, Jello Shots 4 for $10, Slushie Cocktails and a sweet deal on a “Get Your Holiday Started” Party Pack!
The Party Pack was born out of a “how to reuse these horrible styrofoam coolers stuff comes in” and we think it’s a great reuse and definitely a win for you! The pack includes Humboldt Cider Co, Eel River Brewing Company Craft Clarity, a 6R 6 Pack of your choice, 4 Jello Shots, and a Tito’s Mule Cocktail Crowler (4 drinks per Crowler) for $55 and 2 6R Koozies! We will pack it and ice it and it’s ready to go! Then do us a favor, always pack out what you pack in anywhere you go and also reuse that cooler or return it to have it filled again and again!!

Timeline PhotosAs I look for new items to fill the gaps in our new, larger store, I’m not going with the status quo of the stationery industry. Events in 2020 have made it painfully obvious that the way things have been done need to change. I have made a personal pledge to make my store a more inclusive experience, and to make sure more types of stationery makers are visible. It’s not fixing the justice system, but change needs to happen in every part of daily life. Stay tuned for announcements of the new things we’ll have on our shelves soon.
