Spring Has Sprung!
Yippee! Spring has finally sprung! It's so wonderful to see the daffodils and crocuses peeking out, as well as having more daylight in the evenings. Before you know it, the hills of Brown County will be green again!

Remember, we recently moved! If you haven't already, check out our new, bigger and brighter shop! We are located just 2 blocks south from our old shop. You'll find us on the northwest corner of Old School Way and Pitman House Lane (next to The Toy Chest).


New Stuff at Wishful Thinking...
We love it when the UPS/FedX folks come rolling in with those wonderful boxes, full of amazing and gorgeous products we all want! Here's a taste of what you'll find on our shelves:

• Ribbons, Ribbons, Ribbons! We just received a box of some beautiful ribbons from May Arts! Check out the Ribbon and Fiber section near the register; most are sold by the yard, so you can pick and choose your favorites!
  
  
• Use the new Encrusted Jewel Kits from Stampendous and your cards will really stand out! These gorgeous kits include glass glitter, embossing enamel and tinsel, glitter, and color fragments. We've got all five sets - Blue, Purple, Pink, Teal, and Bronze. Don't forget to check out all the colored mica fragments as well!
  
  
• Prima Marketing is fast becoming one of our favorite vendors. We already know that their paper flowers are top-notch, but have you seen their paper packs and metal, tile and wood embellishments? Check out one of the newest Prima gotta-haves…Julie Nutting's Mixed Media Doll Stamps (unmounted) are too cute to pass up!
  
  
• Mother's Day, Father's Day and Graduation are fast approaching! You'll find the perfect stamps, papers and stickers for those special cards and scrapbook pages right here!
  
  
• Tim Holtz never ceases to amaze! We know you'll have to have the new 8x8 Collage Paper Pack. Take a peek at the little jar of Wishbones, the Ruler Binder, Buckles, Ring Fasteners, and new Tissue Tape. We adore the Locket Book, which is a pendant that opens to reveal a booklet for photos or memorabilia.
  

• Snatch up the "Girl" series of unmounted stamps from Unity Stamp Company! They aren't going to last long! Neither are those cute little houses…
