Member Spotlight – October 2022

Our Member Spotlight for the month of October is Bailey Cookman and twine. of Hopewell!

twine. everything you want and didn't know you need. That's our slogan and it fits us well. Candles, books, toys, cards, stuffed animals, games, puzzles... we have a little bit of everything. We are a fun, colorful shop that mixes a strong humanitarian attitude with a little bit of sass and a little bit of sweet. Not only are we an eclectic boutique shop with gifts for all ages we are also fierce community supporters. Since 2017 twine. has been a permanent donation station for ISTG (I Support the Girls) Central Jersey a non profits that supplies feminine hygiene, bras and underwear to women and children in the area. We have sponsored yearly fundraisers and still continue to do so. Earlier this year we raised money for the children community theater, HVCT and are currently working on raising money for a local boy with cancer. Bailey Cookman, the owner and operator is a Peddie School and Smith College alum and proudly a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. twine. is nested in the tiny but adorable borough of Hopewell. It's the kind of shop where kids ride their bikes down the street to buy penny candy and families bring blankets and chairs to share a magical movie night in our backyard. twine. is also known for our unofficial mascot, Stanley. Stanley is Bailey's sweet rescue dog who is often seen donning an assortment for stylish bowties.
