News about the north/south passenger rail project has gone a bit quiet as COVID has crimped things here and there ... but PASSION for the train runs high, as shown when a fan of the Clare Depot Restoration Project posted news of the project on Facebook and it went viral: way over a million reach and 14,000 shares! ⁠
The surge caught the attention of a number of reporters, including that of Dana Afana, of MLive.com. Tap the 🔗 in bio to get the update!⁠

This was the scene today when one customer’s receipt was equal to two (Boeckl)Capaldis, breaking the previous record of a single Capaldi. To be fair, neither Susan nor Katie are terribly tall, but regardless, it was the biggest shopping spree we’ve ever had!

That being said, if we appear to have low stock for some items, you know why. But we are always getting restock, usually have alternatives, offer gift cards, Libro.fm audiobooks and subscriptions, and are happy to create a personalized gift announcement for late-arriving books.

Thanks to all of you choosing to shop with us, understanding the challenges, being patient with shipping, and adapting to everything being thrown our way.

Tanning on the beach is great and all, but have you ever found a petoskey stone just 30 seconds after getting in Lake Michigan? Now that’s happiness.

A thick one! Texture is hard to read from a photo but, I think one can tell there is some serious impasto used on this fun holiday painting! 6x6”. Available through the artist.

Impasto definition: The process or technique of laying paint on thickly so it stands out from the surface.
