treasure gifts

November 04, 2015 | 0 Comments

We have so many special, sweet little treasures in the shop that would make really wonderful gifts- combined or on their own. Our Portuguese soap is a favorite, and we love it paired with another aromatic wonder- Astier de Villatte incense. John Derian paperweight charms are also a nice, useful gift. Maira Kalman's My Favorite Things is a delightful book full of the artist's drawings of just that- her favorite things. This ranges from buttons to Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch. Shown with it is a magnifying glass and John Derian postcard. The saguaro pens we have are irresistible and we think they make a great gift with a notebook, stamp and letterpress paper from Japan. In the last picture there is a wonderful horse doorstop, John Derian paperweight and embroidered badge from Coral and Tusk. We will be posting more gift ideas on our instagram… you can keep an eye on that here.

We are thrilled to have received Astier de Villatte incense in the shop. We are longtime fans of Astier, so we are happy to finally have it arrive here! Many of you are probably familiar with them, but if not, you can go here to see a wonderful video made by North Sea Air of Ivan Pericoli and Benoit Astier de Villatte- the creators of all these special things and the company itself :)
