More books! More crafts! #IndieBookstore www.eventbrite.com/e/maker-mond...
A graphic with a yellow-orange background and two photos of glass jars with pressed flowers on the sides. At the top, the text reads “Make a pressed flower luminary.” Further down it says, “Repurpose a simple glass jar into a beautiful floral luminary. Join us Monday, 9/29.”

Compare a display from our first ever pop-up just two weeks ago (is THAT all it’s been?!) with last night’s. Our garden is growing! #IndieBookstore
A table with a black tablecloth and about 40 different books on it, along with a sticker display stand. A table with about 40 different books on it; a slender, six-foot-tall wooden book stand with several more; and a separate table with two sticker displays on it.

The spread at our first pop-up bookstore/craft night! Does it kind of look like we hunted down this table of books and are posing with it as a trophy? Because that’s not too bad a description of what’s happening. #IndieBookstore
Two middle-aged white women pose, each with a hand on her hip and another on the table full of books behind them. Both are wearing t-shirts that say “Wake Robin book & arts” on them.

We love that the first book we ever sold was Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert by Bob the Drag Queen and we love that we sold it to Stuart Holt, President and CEO of ArtsFairfax, a cherished supporter of ours. WE’RE BOOKSELLERS!!! #BookSky #IndieBookstore
A tall, bald white man in a navy blue suit stands next to a short white woman in front of a table full of books. She is wearing a t-shirt that says “Wake Robin.” Both are laughing and holding a copy of the book Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert by Bob the Drag Queen.

We stopped by Settle Down Easy Brewing, where we’ll be having our Maker Monday pop-up bookstores every Monday in September starting on the 8th. It’s such a great space and we’re so thankful to the owners for giving us an opportunity to build our business! #IndieBookstore #MakeSomething
Two light-skinned women smile in front of a brick building painted tan with a sign that reads SETTLE DOWN EASY Brewing Co.

For Women in Translation Month, Richelle is reading I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, translated by Ros Schwartz, lent to her by Jennifer. It considers themes of freedom and constraint, isolation and community, even…the meaning of life. #BookSky #WITMonth #IndieBookstore
