Time has been flying by so quickly that we didn't realize our 15 year marker had passed us by yesterday! We celebrate all those years in business... and if we were to count the years when I would help my mom while at university, it would be 20 <3 My mom started her shop all those years ago. She found a tiny space and sold sweet home things and a lot of pretty things for the garden. She had chickens at that first store and many of our longest clients remember them- Henny and Penny :) When I joined her, we combined our interests and brought clothing into the shop. We moved locations and that unfortunately meant taking Henny and Penny home. They retired! Our new space brought new ideas and a lot of excitement. We have since moved once more- 4 years ago into our favorite space. We have ridden so many different waves and have been through all sorts of different moments.... all while feeling like we are so lucky to get to do what we love every day. Thank you for all your amazing support throughout the years... my mom and I talk daily about how fortunate we are to know the most wonderful people on all sides of our business. Truly- our daily interactions - whether they are online, in the shop... at a show or in some foreign place on the hunt, are truly the best! We love you! Thank you!!

A couple more pieces by Pip Squeak. We thought this coat was so wonderful that we got it in a few colors. There is the natural linen in the previous post about Pip Squeak pieces... then there is the black linen shown above and a navy blue Japanese cotton. The Japanese cotton version takes on a completely different identity from the linen version. It has a more structured feel... the adjectives that come to mind are handsome and sharp. The cotton has a tiny bit of stretch in it for comfort. We also love the black linen of course. You can never go wrong with black <3 Also shown is a wonderful dress for summer. This is a piece we could see being worn daily. Throw it on, put on your espadrilles or flats, and off you go! It is made of a navy blue Japanese cotton. The shape is easy and comfortable with room for movement. You can layer this with a piece over the top or underneath... an elegant, easy piece!

One of our favorite finds for Spring and Summer! These beautiful espadrilles <3
The story of their making feels like it's out of a fairytale- and all our dreams come true for how we love to see things be made. We've just listed them in our online shop- I am putting the link here so you can read their sweet story.

The warm weather hits and our minds jump into the scenes of Out of Africa. We see lots of white and natural.... it is time to lighten up the pallete! We just received a wonderful new batch of clothing from Pip Squeak Chapeau. Shown above are a few great pieces. The first picture shows a fantastic linen coat with beautiful details- the breast pocket and the high slit in the back. This is very flattering on and is sized small, medium, large. Also shown in the first few photos are white shirts- one has a collar that has scallops from the front to back- resembling petals. It is so sweet. The other is a take on an antique French night shirt- with gathering all the way around the neck and a wonderful collar. It has buttons half way down the front and at the closure on the sleeves. Both of these shirts are made of a Japanese cotton. They are shown with wonderful linen pants from Hazel Brown in the next photo. We also received a dress version of the shirt- this piece in a natural linen with a small gold piping around the collar and down one seam in the front. We have these pieces all hanging in the shop below an assortment of hats by Eliurpi- it's a great combination!
