We have added some wonderful kitchen items to our online shop - home section. The enamel containers in the first photo are a favorite of ours for food storage. We have used them personally for years - they ended our search for the perfect food containers some time ago! We are just now bringing them to our online shop - we are very excited to make them available to you because we think you will love them as much as we do. They are made of enamel and the lids have a silicone seal -making them airtight. They stack, they nest... they are not bulky- they fit into small spaces in the fridge. We can't say enough good things about these. We use them every day! We also added a most perfect wooden spoon. This is made of olive wood which is a very hard, dense wood - making it stain and odor resistant. It is made in France. We also added some new brushes that are made in Japan. These are great for cleaning out bottles, jars, vases, or the corners of pots and pans. And lastly, we added the beeswax votive candles shown above. These burn for 15 hours each. They are made in Maine <3 We love the beauty in well made, useful things and are very happy to continue adding this type of thing to our online shop. We have been known to have long conversations in our shop about our favorite wash cloth or brush... it's amazing the difference quality makes!

We have just received these wonderful espadrilles. They have laces that criss cross in the front and lace through the sides to the back with ties to wrap around your ankles. They are the perfect shoe for Summer! The way they are made is wonderful also - they are stitched by the sewers in their homes, throughout the Basque region. They are made of cotton uppers with hemp and rubber for the soles. Classic nd timeless, we love this style.

Sharing with you this short film made by North Sea Air about the making of Astier de Villatte Incense. It is such a delight to watch and we hope it brings some beauty to your day. It's amazing to think about the chains of production we all support. When something is sustainably made like this - with years, decades, centuries of learned skill and expertise - it is something to admire and it's important to protect. We love that Astier de Villatte finds projects like this where they work in collaboration with those who have special know how and traditional ways of producing to bring us the most well made, delightful things. Lucky us!
We have many of the different scents of incense from Astier in our shop and online. The inspiration for the scents comes from places that the founders and designers of the company love. From Yakushima to Porte de Lilas... to Tucson! The scents travel the world :) To think that on the island of Awaji, they make the scent of our hometown Tucson - that feels extraordinary!
North Sea Air makes such beautiful short films - you can find more of their work, including other films about Astier de Villatte on their website here. Have fun exploring!

We have just added a beautiful, classic dress by Apunto b. to our online shop. This dress is very flattering on - a piece that is easy to quickly put on and look elegant and put together. We love it with espadrilles and also with the Repetto jazz shoes. It also looks great with a straw hat. It is made of a lovely crisp cotton giving it a nice structure and shape. The pleating and the sleeve length are very flattering aspects of this dress. It also has a nice length - hitting at the mid to lower calf. A beauty it is!
Now available in our online shop - right at the top of our wardrobe section :)
