Spring Bada Bing!

We are so very excited to be a sponsor of the Richmond Craft Mafia's Spring Bada Bing, the mother of all craft shows!  Stop by and check out all the awesome local handmade goodness!

Oh so quiet.

Carytown has been quiet the past two days.  Sure, there's been people in the store and they've all come with friends.  Missing is the usual burst of life after the French Film Festival.  Most years, there are the last string of travelers that come through, hanging out in RVA for a day or two.  But not this year.

Maybe they heard the public schools will be on break next week and decided to leave before the throngs of smiling children and their laughing parents parade up and down Cary Street.  Or maybe they never came at all so there's no one to miss.  Who knows?

We are excited to host many a family gathering and Mom group meeting next week.  Swing by and check out the fun.

Happy today!

The best book EVER

It's true- we now have the best book in the world in our very own store.  What?  You don't know what book it is?  Well, I pity you, fool.  It's Chuck Norris vs. Mr. T.  Can you believe it?!?  Here's a taste of the amazing goodness you'll find within:

The reason newborn babies cry is because they know they have just entered a world with Chuck Norris.

The last man to make eye contact with Mr. T was Stevie Wonder.

Mr. T is the original black Power Ranger.

This book is, without a doubt, one bad mutha - shut your mouth!  Come in and get one!

Blown awaaaayyyyy!!!!

Today is so super duper windy!  We had to keep our beloved carnival mirror indoors for fear it would come crashing over.  Other than that, it's been a fun, sunshine filled day full of treats and nice people.  We finally got our shipment of Ye Olde English Dunnys, so that should keep all the vinyl toy heads happy.  Lots of new craft kits, whoopie cushions, bike horns, fart whistles and more also made it to us today.  Can you really have a bad day at a place where you get to hear people of all ages laugh at fart sounds?  I didn't think so...

Well, I am heading back to NYC for Toy Fair 2K9.  I'll let you know what I find.  Til then- be safe and Happy Valentine's Day!
