We are very excited to welcome Tensira's new line of table linens to the shop! We have received a wide variety of tablecloths and napkins and are so thrilled to finally get them all up online. These are made using traditional methods of hand-spinning, hand-dying, hand-weaving. We just love Tensira and were so excited that they decided to add to their collection with these beautiful pieces. The fabric is sturdy enough also to make a picnic blanket or beach blanket. They are very versatile... and we always love that! With more time at home, it is fun to make an evening feel different by easily changing the table linens!
You can see more in our home section online - we have written a bit more about Tensira there and share more photos of each style in combination with different napkins.

As states begin to open up, we find ourselves reflecting on the time we have all taken to isolate - to take care of ourselves and others. What an emotional rollercoaster for so many - individually and collectively. We closed our shop two weeks before we were required to and I remember making that decision with my mom, both of us so fearful of what could happen - a thought process not different from any of the small businesses that have had to close. There is so much to say about this experience, but I will try to edit well and not carry on too long. I will say that for us, the initial fear shifted quickly into... how do we adapt overnight and keep our business afloat... then footsteps in that direction. Many of you have asked us for a long time to make our online shop bigger as you have known our actual shop carries much more than what we share online. We took this opportunity to do just that - and throughout that process, we have been overwhelmed by your kind emails and notes... your calls to check in on us... along with your support through orders online. We have been doing as much as we can on our end to continue supporting the artists, makers and designers we carry who make the things we love, who make the world a more beautiful place to be. Amidst all the devastation from this experience, there has been new creation, new ideas, evidence of caring more about what we all support and how we take care of each other. It almost feels at moments like a different era. This could be a beautiful new reality. We must work to continue in this way :) All that to say, thank you so very much for everything you have done for us - you have kept our hopes up and you have kept us working. We will continue to keep our online shop at this level ... and maybe slightly bigger if we can swing it. We are dedicated to it, and we love every minute of it. Being in touch with you is a big part of that! We will also be happy to reopen our actual shop when it feels like a good time. We will likely go into Summer with limited hours at our actual shop, but we will keep our online shop efficiently going as we have been trying to do these past two months. We have always tried to ship quickly - and we have stayed committed to that. We so appreciate your orders and feel it is so important for us to get them to you quickly. We will continue to ship daily - so your orders usually go out the same day or the next day from the time your order is placed. For this week, we have decided to be available all day Saturday at the shop so that those of you in Tucson can have access to Mother's Day shopping through pickup. We will be there from 10 to 5 to run your orders out to you :) So far, that is what we have on the schedule. We are at the shop everyday, but hours vary because of homeschooling and all those important things.
Sending so much love your way! We hope you are all doing ok and still hanging in there. I know we are all wanting to see our friends and family again in person... and I hope we can all do that soon <3
-- The picture above is of our beautiful friend Nikki. We are so thankful for Nikki, Molly, Heather, Isolde... our friends who model with us on a regular basis. And our dearest dear Ginny - who many of you know by visiting the shop. Ginny has worked every Sunday for the last few years. We can't express how much Ginny brings to our lives and to our shop. We are so lucky for these incredible women and all the gifts they bring. We looking forward to being with them again and working on new projects together. <3

There are so many wonderful things in our online shop right now that we think are wonderful gifts to treat your loved one on Mother's Day... these are just a few :) And as a reminder, we are wrapping every Mother's Day git with special wrapping and including an additional gift from us of the Los Poblanos lip salve. Leave us a note at checkout and put in the receiver's address for the shipping address and we will make sure they get an exciting package to open. In your note, you can also leave a message you would like us to include on a gift card that will be included.
A big thank you to Remodelista for including us in your Mother's Day gift guide today! <3

The sweetest coat by Apunto b. has just been added to our online shop. We show it above with a woven Moroccan hat and Repetto ballerinas in ballet pink. This coat is such a wonderful piece for the coming months. It is the perfect medium light weight to layer with. We are in love with the collar and the combination of the beautiful fabric with the elegant shape of the coat.
