Stay safe and cozy today, y'all! Reminder that we're closed Thursday, 11.26, open regular hours Friday-Sunday (and hosting a very special plant pop-up, too! Check our last post for details).

HOUSEPLANT POP-UP! ⁠This weekend only we'll have a bunch of new, rare and unusual plants courtesy of our local greenhouse partner, @thicketpdx. We'll even have some wintry outdoor foliage and handmade wreaths to help you deck the halls. ⁠
⁠
This plantastic pop-up will be in full bloom this Friday, 11/27 and Saturday, 11/28 from 12-5pm both days. We won't be shipping plants, so swing by our brick & mortal if you're out and about in the Pearl! We'll also be sharing some items to IG stories. Just DM us if you want to hold anything for curbside pickup.⁠ ⁠
⁠
Get the goods while you can - come Sunday all plants will be tucked back into their nursery beds.

Shopping small and local often go hand-in-hand. It helps build wealth and equity in our communities, which we could all use a little more of after the year we've had. Stop by this weekend from 12-5pm to browse local goodies for holiday gifts, like @portlandsyrups drink mixers. PS: Spoiler alert, we're about to announce a very special giveaway with these products, so make sure you're signed up for our emails so you don't miss it!

Holiday cooking endeavors, meet your new copper-clad measuring companion. This set also makes a perfect gift! Tap to shop.

If you have the means to holiday shop this year, please shop small. Seeing so many independent operations permanently close while large retailers hit record sales is a shocking juxtaposition. Sometimes there's no way around convenience, but if you have the chance to be intentional about where you're purchasing from, take it. A real live human may actually thank you. Our friend @trulykindred compiled an awesome list of businesses under her "Shop Small" story that's a great starting place. We're in this together, so let's show up for the little stores that give our communities character and charm.

Happy Tuesday from the sweetest shop scene! Tap to browse ceramic salt cellars, teak spoons, copper measuring cups, and earthen mugs!

Warm up your holiday tablescape with a few handmade goodies, like our new ceramic bowls. Holiday gatherings may not be happening this year, but that doesn't mean your place settings shouldn't bring you joy! DM to claim.

It's also really important to carve out time away from the endless scroll and news spiral. One of our favorite rituals is brewing a hot cup of coffee and listening to the rain to take the edge off.
