Happy Spring! What a beautiful day it is today in Northeast Ohio. Easter is this Sunday so stop by The Flaming Ice Cube to get some treats for your baskets (or fill one of our new messenger bag with treats!). We are stocked up on our famous peanut butter crunch bars, Republic of Tea (including biodynamic organic ginger, Get Relaxed, dandelion), and 1820 House candles.
