We are hosting a screening of Barbarella tomorrow at 7 PM at Proctor’s in downtown Schenectady! To try and encourage people to come into our shop to buy tickets (instead of the box office) I have been putting together some pretty awesome raffle prizes for the screenings that we host! Check it out!

I like weird trinkets. They bring joy. These guys are fuzzy… though I prefer glow in the dark, I couldn’t resist the weirdness.

I got to explore the MiSci archives this morning! These paper cut outs that were part of a promotional circus from GE were really fun! I love the colors and the texture of the old illustrations.

This little book is potentially super fun! They’re just simple little games that get people interacting and talking to each other. Back when there was no TV or social media or even radio!

Got to meet and chat with some other small business owning women yesterday unexpectedly!So refreshing when I get the opportunity to talk to people and they’re nice & friendly! ♥️ Being “on same wavelength” is definitely a thing. The Balloonery in Stuyvesant Plaza is a fun party supply & gift spot!

Running a small business means constantly weighing sacrifices! 😵💫 I’m a grateful/hopeful that we get some shoppers who think of us for gifts this year… but I’m already tired from all the prep work and now it’s almost go time! Even adding a few extra hours when you have a small staff is tricky. Come!

Last night was Art Night Schenectady - we offered a little craft activity for everyone this month! We made little foam birds which we will be using in our holiday window display! They came out really cute. Everyone seemed to have fun!
