Ever wonder what it feels like to walk into a converted barn in Belding, Michigan and immediately get hit with a bouquet of vintage vibes, plant whispers, and the occasional “Did I really need that?” moment? That’s us. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a few of our most beloved oddities—because if you’re going to get lost in the chaos, you might as well have a guide. Think of this as a tour, but with more sarcasm than a history lecture.

First up: The up & up Ultimate School & Office Bundle—50 sharpened #2 pencils, erasers, and a sharpener that’s practically a tiny, polite dictator. Perfect for the student who can’t decide between “I’m a genius” and “I’m just good at doodling.” Next, the Locker Club Sparkle & Style Lunch Kit in lavender. It’s got a LUNCH design that screams “I’m too cool for cafeteria food” and a matching bottle that actually holds whatever you want to keep cold. Then there’s our kitchen glow‑up duo: the Threshold Sunshine Stoneware Bowl (yellow with a sunburst rim) and the Threshold Sunshine Dinner Plate (lemon yellow & cream). Together, they’re like the sun and the moon—one brightens your day, the other makes you feel like you’re eating a piece of sunrise. For the art lovers who love a good joke, we have The Who’s the Boss of the Pack? Trio, a framed masterpiece that’s actually a trio of… well, you’ll see when you look. The The Over & Back Dual-Tone Dinner Bowl (pink & black speckle) is the kind of bowl that makes you question whether you’re eating or just staring at a piece of abstract art. And finally, for those who like a touch of patriotism with their décor, the Whitetail Buck Cutout with American Flag Inlay is a quirky reminder that you’re in the U.S. and probably should stop buying that weird plant you found in the backroom.

So whether you’re hunting for the perfect school supplies, a lunch kit that can double as a conversation starter, or a kitchen piece that makes your dinner feel like a sunrise, we’ve got you covered. Swing by our barn on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday (10 a.m.–6 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. on the weekend) or hit us up online at store.krupproad.com. And if you’re feeling nostalgic for the chaos of a small shop, you can always email us at info@krupproad.com. See you soon—just don’t bring your own eraser, we’ve got plenty of those!

PS — Sorry this took a bit to get up. Things have been busy around the farm and we’ve fallen a bit behind. New products are coming soon, but I wanted to make sure I got this up here.
