My last Moss Envy blog was filled with reassurances that we are not only an “eco-friendly” store, but that we enjoy filling our space with the smallest of customers. We like to think of ourselves as not only eco-friendly, but kid and pet friendly too. My last signoff however, promised the next blog would be for “adults only.”
As provocative as that may sound, my effort to entice you back to my blog is innocent enough. Our store may be fun for the children who visit us daily, but the adults who grace our door also enjoy discovering the offerings of our local and global artists. Who knew you could craft beautiful and whimsical jewelry from knitting needles. Yes, I said knitting needles. Or that a nut from the floor of theEcuadorianRain Forestcould be transformed into colorful jewelry pieces as well. The jewelry in Moss Envy has diverse and glamorous offerings for all our customers.
Speaking of glamour, just spend 5 minutes at the cosmetic counter with one of our in-house makeup artists, and you can go from “ho hum” to “hubba, hubba.” Forgive the antiquated 50’s reference; I haven’t had my coffee yet. And speaking of coffee, there’s always a cup of fresh Peace Coffee brewing in back room of the store. We love it so much for ourselves; we now sell several varieties of Peace Coffee beans for your morning pick-me-up. So if you hear a strange and somewhat irritating sound or smell a warm rich aroma wafting through the air, it’s just one of us grinding beans and making a great cup of Fair Trade coffee.

All that talk about hot coffee reminds me why we Minnesotan’s love our coffee. It’s because we spend most of the winter months trying to thaw out. As easy as it would be to go to that “whining about weather” place, I will look at the positive side of tundra living. Such as our rich hand and face creams that smell like the plants of summer. Soft mittens hand crafted from luxurious reclaimed wool; plush wool bed toppers that you can get lost in, a good book to curl up with in front of a fire, to name just a few. There’s even a solar crank radio that has a weather station to warn us of the next impending blizzard. Ooops, went to the “W.A.W.” (whining about weather) place. Sorry.
Even though this may not have been the “hottest” b.l.o.g. (note my anachronism for blog in title) written, we do have a store full of gift ideas to keep you and yours, warm and glamorous through another harsh and bitter Minnesota winter (ooops, did the W.A.W. again). Better go grind some beans, looks like it’s gonna be a long winter…(ooops).
Next blog will focus on decorating our homes with the flair of an artist.
