The event will showcase Donna's new works in macramé, etched metal and wire. Materials unearthed during her latest travels include vintage hat fobs, watch parts, wooden puzzle pieces from Paris, stamps, keys & vintage lace, all of which will find its way into a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry soon.

Better Bee Houses
Native Bee Houses
Denise Shreeve (we like to call her the Bee Lady) was such a big hit last spring that we invited her back for the new gardening season. She's a passionate advocate for native flora & fauna that often have to fight for their rightful place in their natural habitats. She'll be here to answer your questions & make you a convert.

Denise's specially designed, locally crafted native bee houses encourage these super-pollinators to nest in your yard. No worries: native bees don't sting & don't produce honey, making them excellent, low maintenance residents. 
The houses are in stock now.

Greetings!  


Desperately ready for spring? Don't worry, we are too! Luckily, there are several special events coming up to remind us that we're exiting one (long) season and entering a much anticipated new one. Join us soon to celebrate.

 

Tasha McKelvey
Irresistible Charm
 Tasha McKelvey bird bowls

Tasha McKelvey's adorable ceramic pots & jewelry are just the thing to lift our spirits & remind us that yes, spring will come again. Her mission is to make home objects feel personal again by adding an artist's touch & a bit of cheer to every piece she makes. Don't be fooled - her work looks whimsical, but it's practical too: all pieces are microwave, oven & dishwasher safe. However, these little bowls happily leave the kitchen to provide a spot to hold your favorite earrings, spare change or paper clips.
