Summer is flying by...

Summer seems to be flying by, but there is still fun to be had before school starts. We have lots of things to help your family enjoy the great weather and each other's company, whether you are travelling or just staying put. Books, activity and craft kits, toys, games, and puzzles all contribute something to together time. Whether you're a kid, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or cousin, there are memories to be made and time away from crazy schedules to be savored.

At Cranesbill, we have slowed our pace as we get ready for the launch of online ordering of books and toys through our website. Meanwhile we hope you have had the essential joys of summer: ice cream, berry picking, firefly hunting, gardening, fireworks, forest adventures, fresh flowers and veggies, and a bit of sand and sun. Enjoy!

Reading a good book this summer?

We love talking about books with our friends, neighbors and visitors. So, beginning July 1 we will be adding community book reviews to our site. Readers of all ages are invited to participate. If your review is published on our website, you will receive a $5 store coupon.
