| Things We Love | Shop manager @jesseca_anne is a big fan of our Base Coat nail polish. "It's kind of a guilty-pleasure purchase when I need a little treat, and the colors are all so good!" Plus, it's plant-based and free of parabens, sulfates, camphor, petrochemicals and formaldehyde. "My favorite colors are Oliver, Satellite, N'awlins, Ali and the Simon collective." We've got 19 different polishes to chose from - which hues will you go for? 🏼 | Photo via @basecoatnailsalon

We've still got a few hand-dyed bandanas left in the shop. They're sewn on 100% cotton and made right here in the USA by the wonderful team of makers at @thisisjenniearle. Each one is screen printed with a hand-drawn design and unique phrase, as if they weren't special enough already. | Photo via @thisisjenniearle

Visitors to the shop always comment on how nice it smells, and we like to think it's because we burn a different candle daily. Like the deep woods? Try Forest Floor, Woodsmoke and Verdigris scents. Want something more floral? Give Japanese Yuzu or White Tea a try. Swing by or browse online for more scent options.
