Save the date friends: February 8th, 5-7pm. We're terribly excited (grinning ear to ear) to be hosting Beatrice Peltre, author of the award winning blog La Tartine Gourmande. Pod will be selling and Bea will be signing her lovely new book La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes For An Inspired Life. Hey, but if you already have a copy, bring it along and get it signed. A huge thank you to Sara B. and Jennifer C. over at Roost Books for bringing this little event together. Light refreshments will be served.
A nice little group of new Fog Linen kitchen cloths has arrived. Check out these blues. Can you stand it? More here.
A reminder for those of us who like to make resolutions and grand statements about what the coming year will bring ---hold onto your seats! Pic found at our fave.



We're full on here at the shop. Automatic pilot type of thing. Hyper-efficiency. 'Do you need that gift-wrapped?' as fine motor skills struggle to make pretty. And despite the weather-at the moment 55 degrees and raining, we really do feel the holiday spirit. Images from a few of our favorite blogs are lending a helping hand too. Lovely botanicals as always, romantical offering, holiday crinkles which we blogged about last year and made-omg, and tall quiet deciduous.
Another great thing about the evening of December 14th other than shopping and meat pies? The ladies upstairs: Stephanie of Stephanie Durrell Muscular Therapy and Erin of The Body Center will also be hosting clients and guests. Be sure to stroll on up to the second floor and say hello.


Today there was, finally, a real chill in the air. We love birds, we love textiles-especially wooly, chunky, ribbed, warm ones. Finding these images just somehow hit the spot. See more here.
Maybe it's because we've watched all, yes all including this season (within something like 2 weeks), of Breaking Bad, that this packaging resonated with us. It's pretty darn fine and science-y and elemental. Good thing the honey is freakin' delicious too! You can get a 12oz jar right here at the shop. Enjoy this damp weekend.


A delicious Fall palette found here. Have a great weekend and if you're local, JP Open Studios is this weekend. Check it out.
