Hi Friends!
Bermuda is having some wild weather today, so grab yourself something cozy and dig into this newsletter.
Thank you for all of your kind 'welcome back' messages after last week's newsletter! And thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone that pre-ordered Canaan Palestine food products. You are all truly appreciated. In the last newsletter I promised the new tour schedule would be forthcoming and *airhorn*, you can see it below. We have a couple new tours that I hope you'll enjoy:

Swizzle Stroll: I mean... you stroll, and you drink swizzle. What could be better?!
-
Shopping & Art Tour: Come meet the entrepreneurs and artists that make our town the place to be.
Check out the schedule below and book online on our NEW WEBSITE tours.longstoryshort.life.

Although many of you probably haven't started even THINKING about Christmas, we retailers have been planning for it since the summer, researching new products, and planning how to make the most of the season. As a tour operator, I've also been dreaming up new experiences we can offer during the holiday season.
-
Starting mid-November, our weekly History with a Twist tour will be amped up, with shopping specials and unique treats.
- Private HWT tours are great for corporate and social outings!
- Give away books at holiday parties for an unexpected surprise
Flyers are below, and please get in touch if you have any questions.
See you in St. Gorgeous,
Kristin (and the team at Long Story Short)

Fifth Spirit Tarot: A 78-Card Deck and Guidebook |
By Charlie Claire Expanding the traditional tarot archetypes beyond the gender binary, this deck re-imagines the cards from a queer and inclusive perspective. The more we work with Tarot, the more we realize that binaries don't exist and everything is fluid-gender, meaning, even time.
We come to realize that we're all creatures made of earth and air, fire and water, all four elements bound together by the fifth element: spirit.
Fifth Spirit Tarot goes beyond the gender binary, queering the archetypes with 78 beautifully illustrated and hand-lettered cards by queer and non-binary tarot reader, teacher, and writer Charlie Claire Burgess.
