Curiosity Doesn't Pack Up

The festival tents have come down, the relic jar is sealed (it's secrets revealed on our socials), and our shelves look suspiciously bare. (Yes, MANY favorites are out of stock, but restocks are already in motion.) You'd think the story ends there.
But curiosity doesn't pack up. It lingers, like the scent of a candle that has just been snuffed out. It is a fluttering moth ever seeking out the flicker of a burning bulb.

What we carried home this year wasn't just a booth of relics. It was your words. Spoken with reverence, awe, excitement, and joy. We heard them and treasured them.
*"This is MY kind of booth!"
*"You're the only reason we come here for the last three years!"
*"You're already our favorite booth, and we just got here!"
*"You guys always do something new and amazing each year; it's so fun to see what you do!"
*"This festival NEEDED something different. Great job!"
*"I just want everything in here!"
*"I feel so comfortable in here; it's like you guys GET me!"
*"My daughter would LOVE this store; I have to bring her here!"
*"I'm buying this for ....; I can't wait to give it to her!"
We could go on and on! Those words sparked something in us. They're what keeps the bulb glowing in our hearts and minds, what reminds us why we spin our curiosities onto shelves and booth walls every year.

So, while the Blueberry Festival may be over, the glow continues. The shelves will refill soon, the curiosities will multiply, and the light will always be here for the moths to find their way back.
After all, curiosity doesn't pack up. It's with all the trinkets and curios you took home with you at the festival.

Thank you for making this our best year ever! We already have so many new ideas and bigger and better plans for next year's festival. We may even add another festival or two to our rotation, so keep an eye out for our curious news! (The best way to keep an eye on our updates is on our socials- Facebook and Instagram, so help us out and share away!)
Stay Curious, little moths~
Forever Grateful,
