Rainy Days

Rainy days are perfect for staying home and making art. I've got the laundry going, the slow cooker is making me dinner and I have a cat on my lap. Aaaah, heaven. I should name my crock pot since it takes good care of me and cooks so I can craft. I think I will name her Alice.

What's going on at Zinnia? Yesterday Tamara changed out the front window display then took a picture. The picture was amazing, she posted it on Facebook so make sure you add Zinnia as a friend so you can get random pictures during our time at the store. I would share the picture here but I couldn't figure out how to share it here.

As many of you know Alley has fans that stop by at night. She has dog friends that stroll by after hours then stop by while we are open to say hello to the humans. Gaylord is my favorite. He is a Standard Poodle that has been a Zinnia friend too. He is really big and playful he behaves like a little poodle as if he has no idea that he is so big.

He probably doesn't. Anyway, he is super adorable. He stopped by this weekend while it was raining. Wouldn't you know that he has a raincoat? I don't have a rain coat (don't tell my mother). I took this picture of him to share him with you all. I think I have posted about him before. Thanks to his mom Marilyn for being a good friend to us and Alley.

Zinnia has that one of a kind treasure for your one of a kind sweetheart. Our selection includes handmade pocket tokens, heart shape sashes filled with lavender. We have spools of paper held with string for you to write a love poem, message or special thoughts. Come check out the handmade plushies that are soft, cuddlely and perfect for little sweethearts.

Check out the cool candles we just started carrying just for Valentine's Day. These soy candles smell amazing and are perfect for home or traveling as they are packaged in cute round tins. My favorite is the Lotus Flower. This company makes adorable tea lights wrapped with letters, perfect for writing out a special message.

Take a few minutes from your busy weekend and stop by the store and take a peek at these treasure and many more. There's always the inspirations that can be found throughout the store for our crafty friends.

See you soon!

This is why have been gone from the blog for a few weeks. Okay it's more like almost two months. I got her on December 18th after waiting a few weeks after meeting her. She is crazy, affectionate and of course, curious. Her name is Chilly Zen MoonPie and she is also Louie's ( 2yr old cat) new little sister. After loosing Miko so unexpectedly it was obvious that Louie had taken that quite hard and spent a few weeks looking for her and crying. Chilly is just what he needed; she keeps him on his toes and entertains the both of us. I have been spending my free time playing with her and getting to know her as she settles into our home.

Check back a little later, I will have news about what is going on at Zinnia. Hint hint... Valentine's Day.
