Black Friday? No, we refuse. It simply doesn’t sound fun. We all know what happens on the day after Thanksgiving, we wake up dazed from the food coma, look around and wonder if the daylight we see is still Thursday or if the day of reckoning is truly over. Then we go shopping. Black Friday ( yarr) has become known as the day when retailers unveil their newest hot stuff ready to malform stockings beyond their shape worldwide. To some this prospect invokes an impulse to lock themselves in the house.

We carry an ethic that we should have a perspective of value when we earn your business, we work hard every day to illuminate the value of your support at our store, and other local businesses do as well. Our relationship with you 365 days a year that should be meaningful and fun. We’ve chosen plaid as our color for this Friday, a Plaid Friday represents the diversity and creativity of independent businesses.

On Plaid Friday, we’ll be open from 10am to 7pm. We’ll have some snacks and door prizes ready, we’ll be having trivia contests in house, and have  some great kits and new stuff we’d like to show off that might send your tinker’s heart a patter you’ve not heard in a while. We hope to see you in the shop and we’ll be continuing the celebration into the weekend, so please don’t hesitate to grace our doors!
