Preview of the New Location

As you may know, we are moving across the parking lot into a new space twice the size of our current store. Here are some pictures we snapped of the space during construction.

You Can Make Stuffed Animals Out of Water Bottles?

Apparantly you can! Mary Meyer Corp. has introduced "Fuzz That Wuzz," a line of super soft stuffed animals made from recycled water bottles. They claim that each stuffed animal keeps about 10 water bottles out of the landfills!

Some products are bad for the environment. Some have little to no impact. A product like this is one you can feel good about buying because it actually has a net positive impact on our planet by making a dent in the 51 billion water bottles that go into landfills annually. Plus, just look at 'em. They're so cute!

They're available for sale now at shopArtisans.com, where, as always, you can have them gift wrapped for free!

Teacher Gifts

Now is the time of year to thank teachers. They do so much for us and our kids. Show them your appreciation with a unique and thoughtful gift from shopArtisans.com.

Every teacher needs coffee to keep up with those little kids. Buy them this humourous mug today at shopArtisans.com and have it gift wrapped for free!
