Best of luck to Foxes and Fireflies. I helped run the last decent used bookstore in our town about 20 years ago. It was a decent bookstore founded by a hard-working individual. Failed miserably. But you do get to meet some interesting people who don't buy enough books but who will definitely come to your poetry readings and wreak havoc.
A stamp of the fish on the cover of Mr. Savage’s book would be a nice start for your stamp kiosk in Foxes & Fireflies, don’t you. Just in time for the holidays?? Do not underestimate your talent.
Good thing you wrote about the pimps and prostitutes here to avoid any slips at the church lunch. How did it go in the end? Nicely decorated bags with fox and fireflies. I've only come across bookshops supporting local talent in rural areas in Britain, not so much in a big city. They're around though. Local businesses are struggling and shutting down so fast which is a sad thing of our times so I agree it's crucial we support local businesses because without them communities die down.
Nice stamps and maybe you will make some more. Probably need something to keep you from wandering the streets.

The four-winged version of the firefly would make a really cool tattoo...
I’d like to see the logo with a firefly kissing the fox’s nose.
/Dancing/ on the foxnose if you will, like so many photos I’ve seen of a butterfly perched on a retriever’s schnozz.

Nothing is better than the local lore!
