Thank you to Joe Pool for sponsoring our rice sensory room this past rotation. It was a fan favorite for the kids and we love being able to share other local businesses in our community!!

Thank you so much Swell Design for being our STEM sponsor these past four months. If you aren't following her page yet; definitely go do so to help support an amazing small business!

Hard to believe we are halfway through the year!

Three things I’ve especially appreciated so far this year:

☀️My walk breaks downtown while at my studio
☀️Taking time to get settled in my studio each day, opening the blinds, turning on some music, grabbing a drink from my mini fridge
☀️ Stretching my creativity in all areas, but especially when it comes to branding - really finding the fun in each project

📚 Calling All Book Lovers! 📚

We're looking to grow our little reading library at Dorothy's Playhouse, and we'd love your help!
If you have any gently used children's books for ages 0–5 that your family has outgrown, we'd be so grateful for your donation. Your books will help spark imagination, encourage a love of reading, and give little ones even more to enjoy during their visits.

📖 We're especially looking for:
• Board books
• Picture books
• Interactive or lift-the-flap books
• Beginner storybooks for ages 0–5

Donations can be dropped off during our regular business hours.

Thank you for helping us create a cozy space where stories can be shared and loved by so many families!
