Great list! And a few other small businesses for me to check out as well :) I’ll be sharing the list with some friends.

Any chance for a Burnt Orange with Dusk/Moss or Deep Blue/Moss in the Side Hustle or Le Petite Derriere? If the Side Hustle ever got a grab handle, I think it would become my all-time favorite.

Will the Bantam be restocked in Wisteria and or Cerise before Christmas?!

TOM BIHN replied:
We won’t have more Wisteria (we only had a little bit left and it’s all gone!) but we will have more Cerise Bantams soon. Will we have them in time for Christmas delivery? shakes Magic 8-Ball™ signs point to no Well, piffle. We’re pretty sure we’ll have them done this month, but we don’t think we’ll have them ready to ship in time for Christmas. If you’re local, you’ll likely be able to come in to get them, but shipping is…unpredictable. Here’s hoping, though! =)

TOM BIHN replied:
That’s a bummer you missed the Firewood Carrier! No more are planned for now; we’ll likely do them again next year, though!
