Cursive, previously named White Trash, and situated in the heart of downtown at 223 Franklin Street, did not have a predetermined future as a permanent store.

Molly Arnold, the proprietor of the establishment, found herself with a vacant storefront after a tenant decided to move out. Her intention was to temporarily convert the space into a pop-up store until she could secure a new tenant.

Arnold has always had a penchant for thrift stores and antique hunting, and over the course of 19 years, with some modifications, Cursive gradually transformed into a fully-fledged retail destination, thanks to the addition of her discoveries.

At Shop Cursive, you won't find your typical home decor or gift shop. It's anything but ordinary. The store offers a diverse range of one-of-a-kind products that truly stand out.

In March of last year, they started hosting zodiac birthday parties. Arnold started these celebrations to “find happy and celebrate people.” She sees the events as a way to thank her customers and celebrate them at the same time. Arnold makes a point to make an appearance at these events in order to interact with her customers and be witness to the joy and happiness these events bring to the participants.

 

As someone who believes in astrology, Arnold believes that one's birthdate has an influence on their personality. The zodiac birthday parties go beyond just celebrating another year of life. They hold a deeper significance as they represent the individual's distinct characteristics, talents, and passions. By commemorating someone's astrological sign, Cursive genuinely pays tribute to and values the remarkable qualities embodied by each zodiac sign.

Each month, on either the first or second Wednesday, an in-store celebration of the Zodiac of that month is celebrated. Visitors to the shop receive treats like cupcakes, candy, and chocolate, as well as wine.

All guests are given a complimentary gift, but those celebrating their birthdays receive an additional special treat.

Come alone or bring the girls with you to explore the zodiac-themed collection in the shop. It's an opportunity to make it a fun night out dedicated to celebrating yourself, just as the event was intended.

The next Zodiac Birthday Party will be Wednesday, Feb. 7, to celebrate all the Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb. 18) babies out there. Happy Birthday to you all!
