Love is Rising

hi nice to meet you. I'm Rachel. A busy stay at home mom of two. i love all things vintage. somehow i wish i could go back and live in the 20's or 30's for a bit. Agatha Christie is my favorite author. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is also close to my heart. I love a good homemade sweet tea or lemonade on a hot summer day like today. Hope you enjoy LOVE IS RISING and can't wait to meet you at RicRac.

Oddly Correct: We are a trio of monkeys on Main St., roasting, pouring, pulling, bagging & tasting coffee.  We long to freak out your coffee experience in such a way that one transcends the way one thinks about how coffee can taste.  Black coffees via pour over brew method, espressos & americanos, whole-bean coffees, select scones, and fine chocolate bars are what we offer on a daily basis.  Come and see & taste & be.  

Midtown located, quality-oriented, coffee impassioned, art inclined, espresso wired.

Ric Rac Roundup: Tag Team Tompkins

We are so excited to welcome Tag Team Tompkins to the Ric Rac Roundup family! You are going to love their work...

Take two book lovers, season them with graphic design careers and a strong desire to travel.  Stir up these ingredients and you have Tag Team Tompkins, a mother/daughter team creating art that honors literary wit and wisdom.  

We collaborate on mixed media projects such as our hand lettered  and cut paper original work.  We then translate our favorite pieces into letterpress art prints - printed by Bob Atkins, owner of Skylab Letterpress.  

Our frequent travels to Japan let us find new tools and materials, and lend us surprising perspectives on our art.  Those long plane trips ensure plenty of time to read and imagine new work.

We're very happy to be first-time participants at Ric Rac Roundup - seeing old friends and making new ones.
