Super cool how we were going to throw a huge 2-year anniversary bash but then had to scrap all of our plans due to serious cash flow issues + delays with our brand kit update and now a competitor is throwing a huge party on our anniversary. It's basically rubbing salt in the wound.

Today should've been a $1000 day (we don't get those often) since there's a market on our street. We're still $27 from our normal sales goal (which is still less than we need to make in a day) with half an hour left

Ligia's Pops is popping up with us TODAY! Come support a local artisan by buying popsicles ♥️ Erin from TLBBS will also be joining us so you can learn about what's coming soon to Corliss Corner

TODAY!

This Saturday is the Wickenden St Makers Market. We're a little bit down the road from the festivities so we're having a party of our own with Ligia's Pops and The Little Bubblegum Bookshop (and *maybe* a few others. Stay tuned) mailchi.mp/8807d1bb7f61...

A Leominster family who has lived in the US for more than 20 years says federal immigration agents held their 5-year-old US-citizen daughter in custody outside their home in an effort to pressure the parents to turn themselves over to agents.

Didn't get raptured? No worries, we're open today so you can restock your kitchen. We also have plenty of pastries and ice cream so you can drown your sorrows. I recommend a sundae of Peach Cobbler ice cream from Big Feeling with ginger peach cobbler macarons from Celebrated (both are vegan)

Store is opening late today because it's seemingly not possible for me to do a Sunday farmers market AND get all of my work done

I spent more than I made today but sometimes it's worth it. Yet another store remodel (+other exciting things) coming soon

Not to brag but today, a guy drove FROM THE CAPE to my store to get eggs (as many as he could physically fit in his saddle bag) because they are THAT.GOOD. Azuluna Farm eggs--they're bangin.

Other important news: our BFF and honey vendor, Carsner & Co Infused Honey, just opened a coffee cart inside of Jordan's Jungle. MWF from 10am-2pm, you can get beverages crafted with your favorite infused local honey

Coming soon to #CorlissCorner The Little Bubblegum Romance Bookshop #PVD #FoxPoint

We're now open 11am-6pm daily 😀

I secretly love that I can no longer successfully finish more than one movie per day (I watch movies in between customers because noise helps me focus) Today, I successfully watched For Richer or Poorer and got approximately 40 minutes into The Fifth Element

I posted a video on IG about folks asking if we have a bathroom and then a girl peeing the entire Monongahela River outside of the business next door as a result of me saying no and now I can never tell if people are actually asking for a restroom or if they're just trolling me because of the video

We did a dumb thing and decided to do a market in a touristy area the week after tourist season ended AND it rained and now we have to sell 100 baked goods to breakeven this week C'mon in for some sales today!

FedEx thought it was cool to just leave a box of over $1000 of cheese in not the correct place just because we were closed when they arrived. Mind you, the box says "PERISHABLE" and "REFRIGERATE IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIVING" and we have a doorbell so we can give instructions for a dark drop...

Not sure who all needs to hear this but: Lemons are not native to Rhode Island

I ran into my member of Congress a couple months ago at an event. He said "Oh yeah, hey how are you? You're still doing The Map Center? It's still.... in business?" Eh, it's nice to be remembered. To answer, I wrote a State of the Map Store blog entry here: www.mapcenter.com/blog/blog-po...

One of my customers had so much fun visiting the Map Center that he came back a few days later with a camera. He made this magnificent short documentary about my store, about me, and why I bother to do any of it at all. It's really lovely and I hope you watch it! youtu.be/Dj9uKpk3Idk?...

To everyone asking why we disco'ed a brand recently: where were you during the literal months we've been writing off the loss? It's not the only reason for the disco but losing half of my freezer spaxe to clearancing the product certainly didn't help

We do this thing where if you spend at least $50, you get a pastry of your choosing as a reward for shopping local. Well lots of folks shopped local this weekend and now we're sold out of Celebrated cookies already lol (okay I may have also eaten my fair share...)

We are open! Effects to our operations will be minimal so we will be open 11am-6pm as normal. The crew is going to begin arriving at 6pm, so we are going to hustle to close at exactly 6pm (though we’re obviously not going to turn away a sale so call the store line if you’re running behind).

The worst part about buying produce is the inconsistency. Bell peppers last week: $1/LB Bell peppers the week before: $1.50/LB Bell peppers this week: $4.25/LB Make it make sense.

Freezergate number 4 might be in the works. The latest: someone reported some of the ice cream being soft so I went to investigate and yes, it was, as was a bag of cranberries. Someone didn’t put the clearance bin back in correctly so the left side freezer door was ever slightly open. FML.

I scream with excitement every time we get an order and this week we have gotten a lot of orders. My throat is getting a little sore. This is awesome.

A farm beamed with pride when they realized that my pepper display is almost entirely sourced from them and that feeling is so cool

We ended July strong (aka we've been BUSY and that's why I haven't been consistent with the newsletter) mailchi.mp/2a30de658722...

We’re sponsoring “Cats in the Jungle” this Saturday!

Newsletter will come out eventually... My b

Psst! Lisa's Pepper Museum is making its comeback this week #gethype

PSA: We're doing a flash sale on eggs right now (sorry to the people who already bought eggs) One of our farmer/baker friends is having a baby but chickens don't stop laying just because you stop selling SO... we are selling eggs for them. Flash sale: get an 18-count for only $10 OR 2 for $15!

Why I love RI: a customer foraged chicken of the woods on here way here and then I traded her zucchini for it. I'm eating GOOD tonight!

I might have to discontinue the Celebrated chocolate chip cookies solely because I can't stop eating them.

I just spent like $800 on strawberries and peaches for next week so please do all of your fruit shopping with me plzkthx

I accidentally hyper focused on cleaning and reorganizing my backroom and it looks incredible but I also didn't get home until 10pm. Anyways, please come buy things this weekend so we can continue to keep it clean and organized <3

This week's produce box is wild (like me) English/Shelling Peas Spigariello Fresh Garlic Callaloo Patty Pan Squash Pink Champagne Currants Fennel Walla Walla Onion Garlic Scapes

Save the date!

PSA to existing or prospective PVD small business owners: Our beloved neighbor is closing their physical storefront (www.earthtonesshop.com), leaving a hole in Corliss Corner and hearts. If you're potentially interested in leasing the space, please feel free to DM me for my landlord's info

I CAN'T STOP. Anyways please come buy corn because I keep picking up fresh corn and I've sold literally 3 ears today. I will price match so feel free to go to TJs or Whole Paycheck first, take a pic of the sign, and then come buy fresher corn from me.

Someone just called me for advice on peppers and as someone who literally organized her pepper display by Scoville scale last harvest season, I feel so validated.

I keep ordering produce so let's hope we have a good sales week...
