Each Wednesday, we’re offering a special craft session just for kids! Perfect for the child that can't attend a week of camp, but loves to create. Drop them off, and while they enjoy 90 minutes of hands-on creativity, you get 90 minutes to focus on whatever you need—errands, relaxation, or simply a well-earned break.

🎨 They have a blast crafting. You get productive time. Win-win!😊

Whimsical Wednesdays will be discontinued at the end of July.

Calling all crafty sleuths and story lovers—Crimes & Craft Book & Activity Club is back this July with a deliciously delightful read: The Busybody Book Club by Freya Sampson. Expect gossip, mystery, and more than a few secrets tucked between the pages. As always, we’ll pair our literary journey with a hands-on craft inspired by the story—and your favorite beverage, of course (BYO beer or wine).

About the Book
From Amazon
They can’t even agree on what to read, so how are they going to solve a murder?

Having recently moved from London to a small Cornish seaside village, Nova Davies started a book club at the local community center, but so far it’s a disaster. The five members disagree on everything, and to make matters worse, a significant sum of money is stolen during one of the meetings, putting the much-loved community center at risk.

Suspicion for the theft falls on book club member Michael, especially when he disappears and a dead body turns up at his house. But the book club has their own theories. Agatha Christie superfan Phyllis is determined to prove Michael’s been framed, while romance reader Arthur believes there’s a mystery woman involved, and teenage sci-fi fan Ash thinks dark forces are at play.

While trying to locate Michael, solve the murder and recover the stolen money, each of them has their own secrets to protect. But despite the danger closing in, they won’t rest until they’ve cracked the case and gotten everyone safe at home with a book, where they belong.
Whether you’re reading a hardcover or pressing play on Audible, we recommend picking up your copy from our beloved local bookstore, Itinerant Literate in Park Circle.
