Hailey and Elwin Decorate the Curio Shop
After seeing how eerily well our studio turned out, a few businesses have asked us to help decorate their spaces for Halloween. Arte Fact came and asked if we would help him deck out the Curio Shop. What do you think? We used the Mega Modern Wallpaper with the High End Flooring because we thought that would create a dark, spooky backdrop. Arte has some shelving in the shop and his counter, which we had to work around, but we threw in a load of creepy clutter like the Creature Closet, the Ghostly Grand Piano, the Alchemist’s Stove, and the Cranky Fortune Teller to haunt the space! Arte is really pleased with how it turned out. He said when he was in the shop on his own and the Cranky Fortune Teller started talking he almost jumped out of his skin!
Sparky’s Job
Hey, it’s me, Sparky! I just got back from another day helping out my Uncle in the Curio Shop. You know, at the beginning of the summer, I was really down on the idea of working in Uncle Sparky’s shop two days a week. I mean, summer’s all about having fun, right? But guess what? Two days a week isn’t that hard at all! I still had tons of time to hang out with my friends (there were even a few days when I was bored, with nothing to do.) I’ve been visiting a lot with Stoogles because he broke his flipper, and swimming in Nibbles’ new pool with Roberta and Molly. I’ve actually had a really great summer so far. But you know the very best part? I made a LOAD of KinzCash! Working two days a week really adds up. I’m just not sure what I should do with it all. There are some really cool things in the Curio Shop I’ve had my eye on. I could also really use a new skateboard, but Roberta says I should save the money. What do you think?
A Job for Sparky
Are you kidding me??? Can this summer get any worse? First of all my teacher totally doesn’t get that you don’t assign projects in June. Now, I just found out from my Uncle Arte that he needs me to work in the Curio Shop this summer! He wants me to help out TWO days a week! What??? My mom says I should be grateful that my uncle is giving me the chance to earn all this extra money but I don’t want money! I want to chill and hang with my friends and do nothing at all! I can’t believe that I have to work two whole days a week all summer! That is like – uh, almost half my time I think. Right? (I don’t know – math is not really my strong suit!) Well, I guess I have to man up. My uncle really does need extra help in the summer when people are off school and taking vacations from work, and I suppose I should be thankful for the chance to make some extra KinzCash. Molly said that I was being an ingrate to complain about it and that it … Read more
The Curio Shop: Where Cupid Shops!
By Arte Fact Well, readers, I just wanted to point out that if you’re thinking making a purchase for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, you’ll find no better place to shop than the Curio Shop. All month long my cash register has been ringing like wedding bells! That’s because the Curio Shop offers a wonderful collection of rare and not-so-rare items. And if gems are your thing, well, you know there’s nowhere else in town you can mine your own! Just this week I had a certain rhinoceros in my shop looking for a very fancy gold band for a very special someone. I directed him to our diamond rings, but he seemed to think that a bracelet might be more her style, whoever ‘she’ might be (although I’ve got a pretty good idea.) This hippo – I mean, special friend – of his is sure going to be blown away when she sees the beautiful golden bracelet he picked out for her. She is going to ‘plump’ up with pride when he slips that on her hand. Makes me wonder if cash registers aren’t the only bells we’ll be hearing in Kinzville pretty soon. … Read more
More Shopping with Cowabelle!
So I went into the Curio Shop today with my mom and Sparky was there working. I figured it would be as good a time as any to drop a few hints about what he could get me for Christmas, but he just seemed completely distracted. Every time I tried to subtly point out something super cool, he was looking past me at something else in the shop. Um, hello? How is he ever going to know what I really want if he doesn’t LISTEN? I mean, I’m only trying to help him out, you know? Imagine if he just had to figure out for himself what to get me for Christmas? What if he got me something I didn’t like? Ugh! I think I was being really thoughtful trying to give Sparky some inspiration and he clearly didn’t appreciate it. What could be more important than choosing the right gift for your friends anyway? I wonder what could have been such a big deal that he didn’t want to hear about what I wanted for Christmas.
Sparky Helps Out
I went over to the Curio Shop right after school today to help out. With Christmas coming up I am trying to get as many hours in at the Curio Shop as possible. I was having a great afternoon. With everyone getting ready for Christmas Uncle Arte’s shop has been packed. The thing is, I hadn’t mentioned to Uncle Arte that I had failed my math test yesterday. I mean, I guess I was going to tell him at some point. I’m just not sure when exactly I was planning to do that. These things take time, you know? I was just helping Dr. Quack wrap up a present for a ‘certain someone’ (what the heck does that mean, anyway) when I heard the bell over the door ring and when I looked around, I saw Ms. Cowoline walked in the door with Cowabelle. Can you say Panic Stations? The last thing I needed was for Ms. Cowoline to start chatting with Uncle Arte and spill the beans about the test. I rushed over to try and intercept her, but then Cowabelle kept pestering me questions about this item and that. Every time … Read more
