Handmade with Love Pop Up Shop!

Happy Wednesday!

I realize I've been pretty neglectful to this poor blog! So sorry about that.

We've had a BUSY time of it here, lately. All GOOD things though.

We had a very awesome adventure back in December - our first pop up shop! I am so thankful to the wonderful people that made it possible. Thank you all so much, seriously.

We're in the middle of preparing for our next pop up shop (also at the Kent Jailhouse).

February 8th - 11am-5pm - all handmade :)

So far we have several unique and creative vendors confirmed. Some new friends & some old friends!

Happy Friday! 

I've been meaning to post, but those holidays sure did keep us pretty busy!

As many of you already know, we're in the process of moving out of our Ravenna store. It wasn't an easy decision, but I think it's the best decision for us now. Until we find a NEW home we will be running this "show" from the road/home, etc.

I'd like to use this blog and The White Rabbit's facebook page as a tool to promote not only our own art, but the art of others, other local businesses and so forth. I feel that it's really important that we realize that we're all in this together. I know that sounds sort of cheesy, but seriously - none of us can do this without the other. Just because the physical store in Ravenna closed doesn't change the fact that we had and still have a GREAT group of talented artists in the area. This is an amazing and wonderful thing! 

In the meantime, like I said, we're going to be running The White Rabbit from the road/home. There are several craft shows this spring that we're planning on participating in (and it looks like many of our friends from The White Rabbit will be at some of them too!), so we'll be sure to keep you updated on our travels. Also, I've spent some time tonight updating and revising our original etsy pagehttps://www.etsy.com/shop/punchdrunkstars.

I'll stop here for tonight, but please watch for upcoming event dates and shop updates. Especially now that there's no physical store, I will try to keep you all as updated as possible as I become aware of things.

Thanks for reading! <3

Welcome!

Hello! 

Welcome to The White Rabbit blog. I decided recently that starting a store blog would be a better way to connect with everyone. Facebook is great, but it's hard to fit everything into that silly little status update box! Also, it doesn't let us get to know each other on much of a personal level. I'm a pretty chatty girl and I like to tell stories and give detail (probably too much), so I struggle sometimes with the short, sweet & to the point thing.

Regardless, I'm Brittany, the girl behind The White Rabbit. I'm the force behind those silly "Hop on in" posts and picture overloads that fill your news feeds from time to time. Hopefully you find them enjoyable because I certainly enjoy them :)

A few things I wanted to talk about today:

Our new holiday hours go in to effect Monday. Now, I know some of you may be thinking/wondering what the method to my madness here is. I'll share! (See, isn't this so much better than Facebook already!) I've noticed that most of you visit me on Fridays & Saturdays, so in an effort to keep that awesomeness going - I've omitted our Thursday night hours (Those were so lonely - you must all be busy on that night), but extended our Friday & Saturday hours. Hopefully that works out well for all of us! 

Holidays are quickly approaching (Can you believe Halloween is next week?!), so keep an eye out for some events coming up in the next couple of months! (Black Friday, Christmas, etc) I'll post the details SOON for those, so don't worry! We'll get this holiday shopping business started VERY soon. 

Things are really starting to take shape here at The White Rabbit. We've got a ton of great artists keeping the place full of their awesomeness. I'd like to use this blog to introduce you to them. The whole part of shopping local and buying handmade art is to support your community. I feel that the faces and stories behind that work is just as important as the actual work, SO that's another thing I hope to achieve by starting this blog. 

I'll close here, for now. Take care and check back soon :)

P.S. Why "The White Rabbit"? Because of these two little boys <3
