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

Kooky Scientist Theme Retired!
Our first rare theme, released way back in 2006, has been retired. Arte has run out of items from the Kooky Scientist rare theme and won’t be getting any more in. While this great theme will be missed, Arte put it in a positive light. “Customers keep asking me when I’ll be getting more of those new Palace Princess and Persian items in. Now I’ll have room to get them in more often.” Arte then added, “Yeah, I’m completely out of the items that so many have collected, but you never know what kooky old stuff I might find in the future.” Rare item collectors are encouraged to head over to the Trading Rooms in the Clubhouse to complete thier Kooky Scientist collections. Have fun!
