About

Triinabobeena is a nickname that I received from one of the first people who befriended me at a bookstore convention.  I eventually worked for her and she continues to be my friend.

You can see that this site has a split personality.  My true love is working in or running an independent bookstore.  That side of the site will be full of ideas and information about promoting your store and engaging with your community.  I will be sharing ideas from all over the country and the world.  I hope that I incorporate ideas from your Indie Bookstore.

Additionally look for me on Pinterest, I have several boards with décor ideas, promotion ideas and other things I would love in the bookstore of my dreams.

When I need to relax I craft, so I will be sharing some of that as well.  I have tried to make it easy for you to stay in the part of site that interests you.  The home page will always have news stories about the bookstore world.  The blog tab will let you choose store or craft.

Thank you for spending time with me and I would love to hear your ideas and how you tried some of the ideas I posted.
