In Stores Now!

I’m excited to share that I am now selling some of my items in two different stores in Arlington, MA: The Roasted Granola and Maxima Gift Center. At The Roasted Granola you can buy coasters (singles or sets of four) and at Maxima, you can find coasters (sets of four) and trinket dishes. I hope to soon be adding trivets to both locations. In addition to creating these products over the last few months, I have also stretched by brain to figure out clear signage, use of the Story Pieces logo, inventory tracking and pricing. In addition to selling at Maxima, I will also be teaching a coaster making class in June and hope to be teaching again through Arlington Community Education in the fall. I’m now working on a summer line and am always on the lookout for new decorative paper napkins to try.

Coasters & Trivets-The Story

Guess what else I up cycle? Tile coasters that people on my town list are giving away. When I first saw a post about tiles, I remembered seeing someone making coasters with decorative paper napkins. It was probably Angel from Escape to the Chateau. I watched various YouTube videos to figure out the best method and products to use. About 100 tiles in, I have some beautiful sets to sell, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. Check out the seasonal in the shop. And check back in the next season to see what’s available. Also see if I’m teaching a coaster-making class through Arlington Community Education.
