Can't believe we are half way through the year. Came to get my free monthly card. And to see what other cards I could find. I like the blank ones or friendship, or thinking of you. Such a great store to find some unique items. Gift giving. A little something for everyone.

It was not until I decided to address my Valentine's Day cards that I realized I did not have any. Snappity snap snap!!! Put it in high gear girlie...get thee to Trudy's Hallmark Shop...quick...fast...and in a hurry! Valentine's Day is tomorrow!!! The store manager said you are back again...two times in one week. Don't remind me please. Well buying Valentine's Day cards the day before Valentine's Day was not an original idea as there was a long of folks with Valentine's Day cards along with gifts in their hands as they waited in line. The Hallmark store has cards in all price ranges starting at 99c to over $10. You pick your price level. Cards purchased...exhale!

I've been coming for a few years now and can't rave enough about their candle scents and store layout. The aromas that touch your nose will tingle your senses and have you ready to find that signature scent for whichever room you're looking to scent. From linen sprays to candles and oils, Slow North has you covered. Don't let the pricing be a deterrant as they are definitely well worth the investment. The burning time on their candles is really good and more of a slow burn. Take an opportunity to do a candle making class or participate in their other workshops!

The book selection is thoughtfully curated and the displays change often. Something is always a little different each time I come in, which is great! I love perusing the shelves to check out what's new. The shop also puts on tons of events, from storytime for kids to adult book events, including the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl midnight release party. If you end up at Birdhouse, definitely chat with the staff as they are full of great recommendations and are so friendly! Parking is a breeze with the big lot and I love that this shop is in the same strip as Asahi, the Japanese market where you can get onigiri for lunch! I think this shop is a great place to cultivate community and is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Go visit!!

This was such a sweet find. Today is Independent Bookstore Day and we were in Austin and decided to…read morecheck out Birdhouse Books. We absolutely loved our time there. My kids and I spent a considerable amount of time in the children's section. I particularly appreciate the book categories they have, from graphic books to books about inclusivity. There is a limited selection of parenting books, which was surprising to me. I half expected a wider range of parenting books considering the selection of children's books they had. And the parenting books were shelved right at the back of the store instead of being closer to the children's section, which I thought was an odd choice. I also particularly appreciate that they have banned books here, and book recommendations. When we went there today, it looks like there was an event going on and from their calendar in the store, it seems that they hosted events every now and then, which is great. Staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. We plan to come back again. Parking was easy and when you have kids, that is an important factor to consider. And tip: When you are done here, walk to the Japanese grocery store in the same block and get yourself some delicious snack.
