Buttercuppity Fabric to open in Steam Plant Square

In November, I wrote about Buttercuppity Designs , a fabric and handmade garment and accessories shop located in the basement at 114 W. Pacific Ave.

Owner Ariadne (“Ari”) Rooney told me at the time that she and her husband, Michael, hoped to open a more visible shop within a year.

Turns out two months was all they needed.

The Rooneys just signed a lease for space in Steam Plant Square, 159 S. Lincoln St., Suite 165. They plan a soft opening Jan. 15, 5 to 8 p.m.

“There will be refreshments and it’s open to everyone,” Ari wrote me last night. “It’s basically a party/trial run of our system and layout.”

Then the shop’s regular hours will begin the next morning, starting at 10 a.m.

Buttercuppity’s hours will be Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturdays 10 to 4 and Sundays, 11 to 3.

I know this word gets overused but it’s really the only thing I can say right now:

“Squeeeeeal!”
