✨🌿 A LITTLE MAGIC TAKES TIME… 🌿✨

We know. We know.

You’ve been watching the clues.
You’ve been making your guesses.
You’ve been peeking through the windows. 👀

But some things are worth waiting just a little longer for. ✨

The official Tin Lennys Fall Window Reveal has been moved to SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH!

And since we’re making you wait another week, we’re turning reveal day into something much bigger.

🌙✨ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH — DROP IN & STAY AWHILE ✨🌙

Come see the window. Hang out. Sip something good. Make something beautiful. Find a class you want to take. Bring a friend. Bring the kids. Come for twenty minutes or spend the afternoon with us.

Throughout the day, you’ll be able to:

🌿 DIY HERBAL TEA STATION
Choose from our apothecary herbs and botanicals and blend something uniquely yours to take home.

🌿 MAKE YOUR OWN SMUDGE BUNDLE
Gather herbs, flowers and botanicals and create your own beautiful bundle.

🥂 SIP & SHOP
Take your time exploring the shop while we celebrate the beginning of our favorite season.

🗓️ SEPTEMBER + OCTOBER WORKSHOP SIGN-UPS
Come see what we have planned and reserve your spots for upcoming classes, workshops and gatherings.

And this is only the beginning.

All through September & October, Tin Lennys will be hosting rotating DIY DROP-INS — no big production, no pressure. Just come in, make something, meet somebody and stay awhile.

Coming soon…

🧹 BUILD-YOUR-OWN BROOM BAR
💐 BUILD-YOUR-OWN BLOOM BAR
🌿 Botanical & herbal projects
🍂 Fall makes
✨ Whimsical little creations
…and quite a few things we aren’t telling you about just yet.

We want Tin Lennys to be more than somewhere you shop.

We want it to be somewhere you do things.

Somewhere you make things with your hands.

Somewhere your kids remember going.

Somewhere you walk in alone and end up talking to somebody you didn’t know before.

Somewhere there is always something a little unexpected happening.

And on September 12th, a whole new season begins.

But first…

🔮 THE FINAL CLUE. 🔮

There may be rosemary by the garden gate…
but when the clock strikes midnight,
you’d better have the limes ready. 🍋‍🟩🌿✨

If you know… you KNOW. 😉

✨ TIN LENNYS FALL WINDOW REVEAL + SIP & SHOP
📅 Saturday, September 12th
📍 Downtown Elkin, NC
🌿 Drop in throughout the day

No ticket needed to come celebrate.

Just bring your curiosity.

And maybe your sister. 😉

I loved Dolly because of the way she lived. Because of the way she loved.

She came from Appalachia and carried the mountains with her into an extraordinary life she built for herself.

She could be brilliant without being pretentious. Successful without forgetting people. Glamorous without taking herself too seriously. Strong without losing her tenderness.

And she loved people.

Not selectively. Not only people who looked like her, lived like her or believed like her.

People.

She believed in children and put books into their hands.

She believed in imagination and creativity.

She believed in family, neighbors and community. She knew what it means to be a friend.

She understood that where you come from matters, but it doesn’t have to determine how far you go.

And she seemed to understand something I believe with all of my heart, that we should use our lives to make the world around us better.

She has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family of musicians, went on to build a life in the music industry, and then watched my children love her too.

Stella has adored Dolly since before she could talk. She’s ten now, playing multiple instruments, writing and singing her own songs. Dolly is one of the women who showed my little girl just how big a life built around music, imagination and love can become.

That means something to me that I can’t really put into words.

And when I look around Tin Lennys, I realize that so many of the things I love about Dolly already live here.

The music and books. The artists and farmers. Children creating things. Flowers. Nature. Imagination and creativity. Neighbors taking care of neighbors. People from completely different walks of life finding themselves in the same room. And the belief that life should have a little magic in it.

Everybody is welcome. Everybody matters.

That’s the kind of place I want Tin Lennys to be.

So we will honor Dolly here, not just now, while the world is remembering her, but in the life of this place going forward.

There are things we’re already dreaming up that I think will make that promise especially meaningful in the months ahead.

For now, I keep coming back to one thought.

If Dolly walked into Tin Lennys, I don’t think I would have to explain very much.

I think she would look around at the children, the books, the flowers, the music, the art, the farmers and the neighbors gathered together.

And she would understand.

She would know.

And most of all, I hope she would feel at home.

Love,
Lenny

IT’S BACK !! and we made DOUBLE this time!

Our Tin Lenny’s 100% Grass-Fed Whipped Tallow is officially BACK IN STOCK at the shop!

Last time, y’all went through it so quickly that this time we made DOUBLE THE BATCH… and somehow, it’s already going fast. 😳

Made with 100% grass-fed beef tallow, colostrum & Manuka honey, then whipped into the dreamiest, rich, creamy texture.

This is one of those old-fashioned, beautifully simple products that has quickly become a Tin Lenny’s favorite!

✨ CLUE No. 2 has arrived…

Sometimes the smallest details matter most.

A few new things have quietly found their way into Tin Lennys this week…

A few new books
Cast Iron Tea Kettles
A variety of organic herbs
Exclusive Tin Lennys candles made by Yadkin Valley wood Co
Long Bohemian style lace dresses
and a few shirts made for girls who were never particularly interested in behaving

Some of these are simply new arrivals.

Some might mean absolutely nothing.

And one of them… might be trying to tell you something. 👀

Our very first Tin Lennys Window Display Reveal is getting closer, and throughout September and October the world behind that window will spill into the shop through special events, gatherings, products and a few surprises we aren’t ready to tell you about yet.

So here’s today’s challenge:

Look closely at the photo. What do YOU think the clue is?

And if you think you’ve figured out the theme already… don’t be too confident. We’ve only just started playing. 🌙

New arrivals are in the shop now, so come hunt for the clue in person and maybe take one of the distractions home with you.

✨ The Window Reveals Soon…
