I don't know about you, but between the bad news reports, chilly winter weather and January sniffles … it's easy to catch the blues. But before you indulge the urge to sport some sunglasses and start singin' a sad song on the street corner, we suggest you try a little catching fireflies<\/a> therhappy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our intense endorphin-releasing session covers all five senses, guaranteeing  you at least a good grin after your first visit<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

First, we start with some tunes to set the mood. (diggin' Coldplay's latest release)<\/p>\n

\"Five4\"<\/a>  <\/p>\n

Then take in the refreshing smells of our candles<\/a> and bath goods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Five1\"<\/a>  <\/p>\n

Super soft stuffed animals aren't just for kids anymore.  How can this hedgehog<\/a> not<\/em> bring a smile to your face?<\/p>\n

Whether you're looking for a little inspiration<\/a> or just need a laugh<\/a>, there are loads of goodies that'll lift your spirit.<\/p>\n

\"Five2\"<\/a>  <\/p>\n

And take a walk down memory lane by snacking on some retro sweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Depending on the level of your blues, sessions can last up to an hour or as little as 15 minutes.  And for small uplifting mini-sessions throughout the week, we suggest visiting our bright blog or whimsical website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still unsure if our therhappy<\/em> is right for you?  Hear what these firefly fans have to say…<\/p>\n

Catching fireflies is a place that makes me happy!! On a dreary winter day looking at pretty windchimes and "hanging things" as I call them that help me to remember spring and summer are coming soon. Its a place where I can always find the BEST gift for special teachers, friends and family as well as a little something for ME to brighten my day. Its a place where you can listen to upcoming musicians and view cool functional art. Its a place where I can take my 10 year old daughter when she gets a great report card and get her a special treat. Catching fireflies is one of my favorite places! – Annette Manwaring<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever the daily stresses of life start to get to me, my place to go is Catching Fireflies. I enjoy my time there so much that if my husband starts to sense I need a break from him and the kids, he'll suggest I take a break and go shopping at Catching Fireflies. It's always an enjoyable, relaxing, fun experience. I love just to wander around and see what great finds are there! – Laura Shrake<\/span><\/p>\n
