Hi friends. Are we still using BlueSky? I’ve been seeing more activity on Threads lately…

Listen, we're just a small business that works with independent artists asking you to prioritize your community, your neighbors, and our planet and stop giving billionaires even more of your money. Shop small and shop local. Support independent artists over AI. Speak up and live your values. 🫶

Severance and Andor are the two best shows I’ve watched in recent years, both debuting three years ago. And now, we get to experience both second seasons this spring.

Last night, we hosted our first adult book fair and our community blew our minds! We had a line out the door for an hour, and we’ve never seen so many people in our shop before. Never underestimate the book community! We definitely found our people and will be doing it again. 🫶

I used to worry about being too political as a business owner, but I’d rather my community know my values and what I stand for. If I lose a few customers because I am proud to prioritize humanity and empathy and democracy over capitalism, so be it. Stop fascists. Love people.

Many thanks to @evathrows.bsky.social, Judy, & Amanda for hosting their first This + That workshop in the shop and letting me be part of the magic. It was an unforgettable evening and proof that amazing things happen when creativity and community collide! www.clutchcollectivemov.com/news/this-th...

The newest Collage Kit from Free Period Press just arrived at the shop today! 🙌 Featuring 1000+ images, creative prompts, tips and tools, it's perfect for solo projects or cozy craft nights with friends.

Supporting small businesses & makers changes the world—one purchase at a time. It fuels creativity and keeps communities strong. Every dollar spent locally supports real people, not corporations. When we choose small, we choose impact. Let’s build a better future together. 💪✌️

Just watched the latest episode of #Severance and as a deep empath, had a second hand anxiety attack at the end of the episode 😵‍💫 but man I love this show.

🙌 Small businesses are built on the power of community, and when we stand together, our voices matter. On February 28, we’re participating in the economic blackout, a collective effort to show the impact of where we choose to spend our money.

Struggling to post ✨ normal ✨ content when everything else in the world seems to be spiraling out of control.

This corner of the shop was enjoying the golden afternoon rays 🌞

I’m obsessed with our sandwich board. The graphic was designed and handpainted by Alix Northrup, and the board was built by my husband. I had the idea to create the window and wheel and it turned out so great! 🙌

You never know what you might find inside our cozy shop 👀

We are SO excited to host our second annual Galentine’s Party on Thursday, February 13th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm with @witnwhimzy.bsky.social! Grab your girlfriends and join us for a fun evening of friendship and community. 🥰 www.clutchcollectivemov.com/shop-news/ga...

Me: “I’m just gonna look—I don’t need more art.” Also me: Walks out with five prints, a sticker stack, and a ceramic mug I didn’t know I needed. 😅🎨 What’s your latest artsy impulse buy? We listen, we don't judge!

Sexy new mushroom prints from Sally at Ratbee Press 🙌

🎸 Artist Olivia Williams has transformed an interior wall of First City Records into a psychedelic tribute to rock ‘n’ roll legends. Swirling with electrifying colors and portraits of music’s greatest icons, the mural captures the spirit of rebellion, rhythm, and raw energy that define the genre.

These new prints from Worthwhile Paper hit just right 🙌

New stickers and prints are in from artist Lauren DeMarco! 🫶 We love Lauren’s new sticker designs, like this sunflower and ship in a bottle, and we’ve been smitten with her butterflies from the start. Her artwork gives us all the warm and fuzzies!

Local artist @megcanttat.bsky.social brought us new art and stickers this week! 🙌 We love Meg’s illustrations and artwork, they are bright additions to the shop and just in time for Valentine’s. Pop on in and see what’s new! 🥰

Every 💵 you spend is casting a vote for the kind of world you want to live in. When you spend those dollars at independently owned small businesses like ours, you're choosing to support our community and independent artists and makers. Thank you for supporting small businesses. We love you! 🫶 🥰

Roses are red, You seem real cool. Support local art, And make hearts full! ❤️🫶

Local artist Joe Ryckebosch brought us several new pieces yesterday! 🙌 Each piece is a framed original mixed-media piece using found imagery, graphic art tape, and assorted mixed media. You may have seen a few of these pieces at his exhibit at the Parkersburg Art Center last month!

The sun is shining inside and outside our cozy shop 🌞

Love these new prints by @bserway.bsky.social! 😍

Still in awe of the ice sculpture we sponsored for last weekend’s Ice Festival, expertly carved by local artist Tyson Whistler! 🙌 Thanks to the freezing temps, many of the sculptures are still on display downtown.

I'm just a girl, who owns an art shop, asking you to shop local and support artists 🫶
