hey baby

Our lovely baby quilts have just arrived!

Made for us in a fair wage workshop in India, these soft

recycled vintage cotton kantha quilts are hand stitched.

Practical machine wash and dry. A thoughtful gift.

unendless summer

Blog-crastinating as usual.

We are back from vacation after numerous shopping for the shop excursions,

and are off again - on a buying trip to Guatemala !

So many exciting boxes have arrived at the shop - filled with fall clothes and assorted goodies.

We are unpacking as fast as we can and too busy for the Labor Day blues to sink in.

Please stop by to have a look.

More to follow . . .

dive in . . . it's a S A L E !

George is a Simple Pleasures regular.

He especially enjoys the Saturday club and our newest Mooremporium selection -

Wholesome Hide rawhide chews.

Made in the U.S., and not processed with toxic chemicals,

these safe chew treats seem to be a toothsome hit

with gorgeous George and his friends.

Spring in the maybe too fast lane

May, a most delightful blossomy month, flew by with wings beating fast. After some excellent adventures - we returned from a wonderful trip to Peru, went to clothing and accessories shows, the Stationery Show, a furniture and design fair, Brimfield Antiques Show, the College Visions graduation, and drove numerous trips to plant growers - we unpacked handcrafts from Peru, springy clothing from La Fiancee du Mekong, jewelry from Extasia, Jane Diaz, Ishi, N & A, Chan Luu, Indian quilts, solar lanterns, birch birds from Finland, tasseled scarves and peace dove sarongs from Jeanette Farrier, handmade leather flip flops and caftans from Miel de Abejas, more flip flops from Orthaheel, colorful plants and garden urns, porcelain fruit baskets, metallic tyvek tote bags, African fabric tote bags, papier mache roosters from Haiti, wallets and pouches from 49 sq mi, Tracy Tanner, Shara Porter, $30 kurti, white on white kurti, retired wooden printing blocks, spikey tagua nut bracelets, scarves from Martine Boissy and Epice, hand blown glasses from Morocco, metal framed chairs from Togo, stoneware garden fish from Maine, and plenty of great things from nowhere and everywhere and no one in particular.

And then, the roses bloomed early. And now, on to June!
