Are you ready for summer grilling?

New in, we’ve got some amazing new aprons and matching napkins (and table runners) that will rock your summer!

Check out reasonably priced Americana swag and you’ll be the most popular grill master on the block.

We are tilting into our Americana vibes a bit early this year, as we take an extended month of June into July to celebrate America 250, you’ll see our beautiful bunting and flower boxes positioned all over to give our building a nice splash of red, white and blue!

The biggest question is… are you going for the plaid apron, or the American flag??

Throwback Thursday!

As we head into summer, we celebrate history, not only of America 250, but also with the history of the store!

We hope you all stop on by and not only come in to shop but also just take a moment to see what we have in our windows. We are showcasing all things red, white and blue! We are also showcasing a few things that make us who we are, including vintage check-writing and label making machines, and a Royal typewriter.

Stop by and see these things and more, with beautiful photos of the store in years past and a spotlight from once upon a time when previous owners Ken and Ann Savela graced the cover of Business People!

Today is Memorial Day, a day to remember those who fell for our country, but also a day to remember those who served us in general.

This is Gale Howard Shaw. He served during WWI, in the US Navy. He was the second owner of the store, for 40 years, from 1924 to 1964.

We remember Gale, and all those before and after him, who answered the call to serve.

These are letters from Howard, his father, to Gale, while he served. and some photos from the store at the time and a Burlington Free Press clipping from that time of Draftees.

November, 1960.

This week’s throwback Thursday, as we head into a busy weekend, is a simple one, but a fascinating one!

This photo of the store in 1960 showcases what was then a new sign (that many may remember) as well as not just one, but TWO gas pumps, from back we we sold gas in town.

One pump is right at the curb, the other is actually up on the porch, right near a doorway we used to have from the store to the porch.

Anyone remember when the store looked like this??

TONS of new shirts in daily, including this super groovy espresso colored hoodie and sapphire t-shirt for women.

Come in and cool off from the humidity today!
