We're so excited that our first batch of @roomytown products have arrived. A combination of vintage images and original designs... and y'all know @kokojuce cannot resist a good color story. Watercolor swatches, color wheels, vintage florals.... ::swoon:: The team's worked hard to get these out on the floor for the weekend & we hope you'll love them as much as we do. #StationeryShop #BrickAndMortar #VintageArt #JournalLover #LoveUnionSquare
Did @kokojuce have a little too much fun when @buenasbrand & @bluefinrawbar asked her to help make a lil' graphic for @bow.market House of Carbs - the unofficial carboload Marathon Monday pre-party? The answer is yes. Because she loves carbs, and even though she has no intention of ever running 26.2 miles all at once, she will happily join her runner friends in their carb-loading endeavors. We are super excited to enjoy all of the carby specials our Bow Food & Bev Peeps will be offering on April 14th. As for our own House of Carbs specials - we don't have any carbs on offer at Tiny Turns. BUT if you need a good habit tracker or journal to help with YOUR running journey, or a meal planner for your future carb-loading needs, we've got plenty of those. 😉 #SundayFunday #CarbLover #BreadForever #PizzaFiend #LoveUnionSquare
