June!
I’m so excited that June is here at last -it’s my favorite month of the year: the cusp of spring and summer! However, for How Novel it will be a pretty weird month. Why? How Novel’s newest assistant is due to join us! But, like many of her ilk, we don’t know exactly when thatContinue reading “June!”

Books for Moms
Since Mothers’ Day is sneaking up on us (May 9th!), I’ve collected a bunch of books that have to do with moms and parenting! Check out our collection of mom-related reads, perhaps for gifts! Belly Laughs is great for moms-to-be, letting her know that she’s not alone in all the weird, gross, scary things thatContinue reading “Books for Moms”
New Artwork
The people of Butte have been very impressed by one of How Novel’s artists, Lauren Kruckenberg, and today I received some more of her work! I’m excited to share these examples of her unique, surreal images, and I hope you will come in soon to see them in person!
