Shop update 3/28

We are spent! 

We have just been overwhelmed and we can't take anymore orders. We are currently at least two weeks behind due to the large volume of linen orders we've received post market. My daughter is coming this weekend to help process as many orders as possible as we will reasses on Monday. We humbly thank you for supporting our small business. This is the first time our shop has closed since it's opening and we hope you will understand this is to prevent frustration to our customers and because we need a light at the end of the tunnel. We appreciate your understanding. You can always reach us via email by using the contact form.

More than a decade ago, I designed my first monochromatic band sampler. I wasn’t intending it to be the start of a series, but over the years, I’ve followed it up with others, each in a different color and theme. I thought it high time to include another, and this time as an ode to my very favorite beverage : Coffee.

The words I’ve included between the bands come from a song that I learned in high school, when I was part of a small vocal ensemble. Every year for Valentine’s Day, we would sing “Valentunes” on behalf of anyone that wanted to hire us for the job. It was tons of fun, and those songs will likely be some of the last memories to go when I’m old and gray. The song is called, “You’re the Cream in My Coffee”, and was written by Buddy DeSylva, Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson. It was published in 1928 for the Broadway musical, Hold Everything!
