New Poppi!

It’s getting close to spring — the birds are coming back, the daylight is lasting longer, and we’ve actually seen the sun lately.  In keeping with such cheery news, we’re happy to share that we have new Poppi rings in the store!   Come visit — these jewels move quickly!

We’re also hoping to persuade the lovely Dawn Benedetto, the woman behind Poppi, back to the West Coast for a springtime trunk show in May — just in time for Mother’s Day.  Cross your Poppi-bejeweled fingers and stay tuned!


New York Report #1

Day one at the New York International Gift Fair had us covering the aisles in Handmade and At Home. What were we excited about? Well for one thing, the most adorable salt and pepper shakers in the world, and their friends, cozy-wearing mugs:

Handmade in Montreal by PMO Designs, these are absolutely adorable, and surprisingly affordable. The cable-knit cozies are made by the artist’s mother. Love it!

The next most exciting news? We’re having a Poppi party. The exact date hasn’t been set, but it sounds like the amazing Dawn Benedetto, creator of the fabulous Poppi rings, will be bringing a full selection of her jewelry for a show at Click! in early May, just in time for mother’s day. I’m just saying. Here Dawn and John are discussing possible dates:

Just got a box full of Poppi rings in from the Poppi “factory” in Alexandria. We love Poppi, especially on a gloomy day. Thanks Dawn and all you Poppi makers!!!
