🍬🏠 It’s Gingerbread House Day!
Time to channel your inner architect and whip out the frosting “cement” and candy shingles. Let’s be real—whether your house ends up a cozy masterpiece or a delicious disaster, it’s all part of the fun!
🎄 Pro Tip: Royal icing can fix just about anything… except your willpower to stop eating the candy decorations.
💡 Did you know gingerbread houses date back to the Brothers Grimm? Yup, Hansel and Gretel inspired this sticky tradition—minus the whole “witch in the woods” thing.
So, let’s see your creations! Post a pic of your gingerbread house in the comments below, whether it’s Pinterest-perfect or a delightful mess that Hansel and Gretel would still chow down on. 🍭..... In the interests of transparency, we totally stole this picture from google - nobody in our family is THAT talented 😆😂🤣
Who’s building this year? And more importantly, who’s eating their house as they go? (No judgment here. 😂)

🌄 Happy International Mountain Day!
Let’s celebrate the peaks that take our breath away—both figuratively and literally. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on one of the gems of the Great Smoky Mountains: Mount LeConte!
Here are 5 fun facts about this iconic mountain:
1️⃣ Third highest peak in the Smokies: While it’s not the tallest, it’s definitely one of the most loved at 6,593 feet.
2️⃣ Multiple trails lead to the top: With five routes to the summit, you can pick your own adventure. Alum Cave Trail is the most popular!
3️⃣ The LeConte Lodge: Perched near the summit, it’s the highest guest lodge in the eastern U.S.—accessible only by foot!
4️⃣ Cliff Tops = Amazing views: The sunsets from Cliff Tops are legendary. It’s worth every step.
5️⃣ Rich wildlife and flora: From salamanders to wildflowers, hiking up LeConte is like walking through a nature documentary.
Have you ever hiked Mount LeConte? If so, which trail did you take, and did you make it to Cliff Tops or Myrtle Point? Share your mountain memories in the comments—we’d love to hear your stories! ⛰️
Let’s raise a water bottle (or coffee mug!) to the mountains that inspire us today. 🥂

📣 Farewell from The Soft Shirt Place - St. Augustine
To all our wonderful supporters,
With a heavy heart, we must announce that our St. Augustine location has closed its doors. This decision has not come easy, but given the current economic challenges and high rent costs, keeping the store open profitably without dramatically raising prices has become increasingly difficult. Additionally, finding consistent, reliable staff has posed ongoing challenges.
Our first year in St. Augustine was a joy, filled with warm memories and amazing connections with our community. Unfortunately, this past year has brought personal challenges, including medical and family matters that require our full attention. These pressing issues have left us with little time to operate the store as we had hoped.
We are deeply grateful for each and every one of you who has stopped by, supported us, and shared your love for our designs. Thank you for making this journey with us. The St. Augustine storefront may have closed but our unique designs and products will still be available online, and our Gatlinburg store is thriving as always, so we hope you’ll continue to find pieces that speak to you there.
Again, this is for our St Augustine location only, our Gatlinburg store that you all know and love will continue to operate as usual!
As always, with every cloud there is a silver lining, and we have plans in place for exciting developments in 2025! Stay tuned for more news in the next few months!
With all our love and gratitude,
Shawn and Victoria
