Summer skies!

It's warm! Hooray! After weeks of some nasty wind, rain and melancholy weather, we have blue skies surrounding the Gray Lady. The island is waking up for Wine Festival and over at 11 Washington Street we are pumped to begin the season after finding lots of new goodies at the National Stationery Show in New York this past weekend. I know some other blogs like to give sneak peeks of all the new finds at the show, but not us...we make you hold out! It's more fun that way, right?

I will give you a glimpse of a coloring books series that just can't seem to stay on our shelves. The Rosie Flo series is probably the only coloring book I myself and other adults crave to have for themselves. The fine lines, funky patterns, and perfect mix of guided coloring with creative design make for the BEST series of coloring books around. They're perfect for the future fashionista who loves patterns. Each book has a different theme (garden, animal, kitchen...) which makes it even more fun. And this isn't just for girls! Did I mention Johnny Joes, Rosie Flos male counterpart? Take a peek! (And if you don't have the Fineliner pens to go with them...you should!)
