MARCH 2025 NEWSLETTER - WILDFLOWER & ROSE BOOKSTORE
Hello lovely bookstore friends!
Have you missed us? We know we’ve been a bit quiet, haven’t we? Let’s get caught up and tell you a bit of what to expect in the new year. Below are highlights, but you can read a more in depth blog post on our website if you’d like!
We want to do a big shout out to each and every customer for 2024 (& the few of 2025 so far)! 2024 was nothing short of amazing! We found so many book lovers in this community and are grateful for every ounce of support!
We know we’ve been quieter, less involved, less active. We had intended to become more active again and had some plans in the works that fell through. You can read more about this journey and decision in our blog post, but in brief, you can expect us to continue being a bit quieter. We know that might be a disappointment to some, but know that it isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly. With this announcement, here are a few things you can expect:
EVENTS
We will still have pop up events, but they will be less frequent for now. Once a month or every couple months will be the frequency. We will have our second annual grown up book fair event this year and more details will start rolling out about that in the next month or two!
ONLINE SHOPPING
We will still have books available on our website with free delivery to Petersburg addresses (use code NOSHIP). We will ship for a cost or deliver to surrounding areas, but this will include the shipping cost to allow for gas expense. We may add more used books to this, but are not setting a timeline for this. It will be as we are able to.
BOOK CLUB
Our book club, The Literary Mansion Society, will continue with a slight adjustment. We will be making the book club more communal and will infrequently offer the book for sale. The cost of stocking these typically requires us to purchase additional titles for bulk buy. With less frequent events, we may not always be able to purchase additional new stock. We will continue to partner with the Petersburg Public Library for access to the book and direct you to ways to purchase when we aren’t able to offer the title directly.
USED BOOK DONATIONS
We are pausing book donations. You’ve spoiled us and we are running out of space! If you didn’t know, we store these books in our homes when we don’t have events and we’ve simply started running out of space. Thank you for your generosity! We will notify you when donations open again.
