Sometimes you just have to resort to out of the box measures to get people in the store… 😂

We don’t have the budget for one of those fancy regular wind socks, so Colleen's Embroidered Creations volunteered to be our human wind sock for the day. 💨😂

And honestly? I think she did a pretty great job. 10/10 for dedication to the cause. 👏

We may not have a huge marketing budget, but we’ve got creativity, questionable decision making, and a Colleen who is willing to stand outside and sweep people into the store. 🤣

🍂🕯️ FALL CANDLES ARE HERE! 🕯️🍂

Clean Glow Naturals dropped off her fall candles over the weekend, and WOW… they smell absolutely amazing! 😍 Think all those warm, cozy, wonderful fall scents you love, rolled into candle form. 🍁✨

And this year she has TWO NEW SCENTS that you have to try!

🍊 Spiced Mandarin: the perfect clean, fresh-home scent with a cozy fall twist.

Plus, there are two sizes to choose from:
🕯️ Large — $29

Another restock that came my way was from Maine Shellware! 💙✨

Their jewelry basically glows with the spirit of Maine and always feels like you’re carrying a little piece of home with you wherever you go. 🌲🌊

And for my birthday, I treated myself to one of their fantastic new ring designs! 💍 It’s classy and effortless. 🥰

🍂 A Little Sunday Change! 🍂

Starting this week, we’ll be closing the shop on Sundays for the time being!

Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of year, and I want to make sure I have plenty of time to soak it all in, spending time with family, enjoying the cooler weather, and doing all of those fun fall things! 🧡🍁

So for now, Sundays are going to be my day to enjoy a little fall magic. 🍂✨

But don’t worry we’ll still be here!

Monday–Friday: 10AM–5PM
Saturday: 10AM–4PM
Sunday: CLOSED

This schedule will stick around for now and we’ll return to Sunday hours as we get closer to the holiday season! 🎄❤️

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little shop and understanding this little seasonal change! 🥰

🕯️🌲 I’ve been hearing sooo many good things about Downeast Doodle Candle, so I had to bring them into the store!

And now that they’re here… I’m absolutely in love. 😍 From the adorable labels featuring loons, Maine forests, and all those little touches that feel so Maine, to the scents themselves, these candles really do transport you to places that feel like home. 🌲🦆✨

Whether you’re dreaming of a quiet day in the woods, a cozy Maine cabin, or just want your home to smell like a little piece of Maine, there’s a scent waiting for you!
