Living Small in a Big World

As she hugged goodbye, she laughed and said, “You two live in a real-life Hallmark movie.”

And honestly… she’s not wrong.

Every Wednesday, we debut something brand new for What’s New Wednesday—most often a never-before-seen fudge flavor, though every so often we fudge-dip something entirely questionable just to see what happens.

For our little customers, the drama is real and the stakes are high! Edible Paper or Magic Liquid Potion Candy? Gummy eyeballs, gummy sharks, or gummy pizza? They circle the store, eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single thing.

I have this fantasy that after we lock up at night, the store goes full-on “Night at the Museum.”

And I swear—just before I flip the last power strip—Winnie-the-Pooh gives me a little wink from his perch atop a Christmas tree.

Music has a way of making a big world feel safe and familiar, just like our little shop on the courthouse square. Living small in a big world means savoring those moments of joy—the right song at the right time, the right taste that brings back a memory, the right sparkle of lights that makes you smile.

The inspiration for our fudge comes from Craig’s Grandma Kate. The inspiration for our windows? That’s all my mom, Tanya.
