we just knew we were having fun.”

What a year 2020 has been - a year of disappointments, heartbreak, and uncertainty. It's also been a year of silver linings, such as gaining a deeper appreciation for all the people and activities we may have taken for granted. It’s certainly been a year that calls for patience, compassion, and reflection.
Here in Primrose, we’ve been working to find ways to add some lightness and joy during these serious, uncertain times. It may seem trivial but we believe that in times like these, it’s essential to take breaks and simply play. If there was ever a time to swing in a hammock, run through the sprinkler, or pitch a tent in the backyard, this is the year!
To celebrate the essentialness of play, we have filled Primrose with a wonderful selection of books, puzzles, and summer yard games, including croquet sets, Bocce ball for kids, paddle ball sets, Boomerangs, and kites! We have kites in a variety of shapes - including butterflies, bees, and ladybugs - and there’s a fabulous kite-flying field right here at the Nursery. For those seeking a healthy dose of fresh air, we have hiking guidebooks, outdoor cookbooks, travel hammocks, hiking socks, vintage camping gear, and a fabulous selection of summer hats.
The shop is still filled with lovely antique finery and vintage treasures, but we’ve sprinkled in playful, outdoorsy items for the summer season. We know it may sound a bit unconventional but somehow it all comes together beautifully. Best of all, it’s fun! After all, where else can you find kites and antique chandeliers, all under the same roof?
This summer, be safe, stay healthy, and remember to play! |
