New February Goods

1. Sparrow necklace with antique copper on filigree chain SOLD
2. Wooden Santos hands SOLD OUT

Chilly greetings everyone.
So the latest news is that we now have snow in all 50 states. Not a surprise, it's winter! Although Kansas City had paralyzing snow on Christmas day, we have not been hit nearly as hard as some of the country this month. Every time I see a city with 16" or more I cringe for the local shop around the corner. One day of bad business is bad enough but imagine weeks of it because people cannot even get out of their homes! Local businesses cannot prepare for mother nature the way you might expect. We are usually running by the seat of our pants, buying and selling one day at a time.

Not only are the late winter months not conducive for fun shopping, but it is also hard for retailers to make a strong impression between seasons. Weather makes it harder to shop for antiques and manufacturers are still making and delivering seasonal goods. All that said, Curious Sofa is really good at pretending! We know you are not ready to dig in the garden or open the windows so we have prepared many items to hold you over. Take a look around:
