Gracious and intelligent words from @inkwellboutique on this weeks @nytimes op ed about our fragile bubble and the timeless sense of togetherness on which it depends. Stay safe, protect others, rebuild.

It was a nice surprise to see our window and the wonderful poster by Inkwell Modern Handmade Boutique & Letterpress Studio in the The New York Times this morning! https://www.nytimes.com//covid-halifax-nova-scotia-canada.

Even as the shadow of the pandemic hangs over us, let us take a moment to reflect on the lives lost to catastrophes of our own making.

Want to try a bit of rug hooking? Deanne Fitzpatrick's beginner kits are back in stock and they're just the ticket!
