Earth Day is next Monday and we're celebrating with a very special pop-up at the shop. Poppy & Finch, a local plant studio specializing in living habitats will be here from 11-6 with her truly unique living centerpieces. She also knows a whole lot about native plants, how they support pollinators, local birds and insects. Stop by, get the dirt and check out these awesome botanical creations.⁣ | Photo via @mypoppyandfinch⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣
| Things We Love | Our little shop team is pretty particular about skin care. Exhibit A: Jess and Katlyn swear by the @littlebarnapothecary products on our apothecary shelf for their extra-sensitive skin. A little bit of the Charcoal + Aloe Face Wash goes a long way and isn't drying like similar products. They also love the Blue Yarrow & Geranium Cleansing Oil, but for different reasons. Jess uses it as a makeup remover while Katlyn applies it in the shower to lock in moisture for hydrated skin all day long. We've got more tips and tricks when it comes to our skincare goods, just ask and you shall receive all our self-care secrets. 🏻‍♀️🏻⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣

| Things We Love | This team can't get enough lip hydration, and we all have our own go-tos. Our fearless leader Keiran loves the @urbapothecary Basil Mint Lip Balm beacuse "it smells like a fresh herb garden and putting it on feels like drinking a big glass of water when you're thirsty." Shop manager Jess loves Urb's Lip & Cheek tint, "with just a little bit of tint that makes me feel instantly more put together and a subtle rose flavor that I love." Katlyn, on the other hand, loves the @kore.herbal Vanilla Ginger lip balm because "it has clean ingredients you can pronounce and is made right here in Portland." It's safe to say you can't go wrong with any of these options. Also safe to say we take lip hydration very seriously around here.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣

| Things We Love | Acanthus Jewelry is a favorite of our shop manager Jess (side note: she knows the jewelry we carry like the back of her hand). Jess loves how unique each piece is and especially loves Acanthus' celestial-themed designs. Case in point: this moonstone necklace.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

Doesn't this ring make you feel all the feels (or is it just us)? The Rutilated Quartz has an almost-smokey look to it and is said to cleanse and energize the wearer. We love the designs by Acanthus Jewelry and their use of oxidized silver and 24K gold accents (which are fused to the silver so they won't fade!). This beauty is available in size 7 (other sizes avail. via special order).⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣
New brass hair pins just hit the shop. They come in two shapes: oblong (shown above) and circular, as well as two sizes (small and large). They're super easy to put on - we can even give you a tutorial at the shop if you want a demo!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #slowfashionstyle⁣
We're having some fun with spring accessories today. The fact that everything in this photo right down to the ceramic dish was produced by a woman maker only sweetens the deal.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣

Candles get a lot of glory, but incense are a great way to mix things up. We carry eight very grown-up scents from our friends @pfcandleco. They're hand-dipped and burn for about an hour, but the smell lingers long after. The shop best-sellers include Teakwood & Tobacco, Amber & Moss and Gold Coast. | Photo via @pfcandleco.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣

| Things We Love | Ursa Major's non-toxic products are a hit with the shop team. Our team’s former Vermont resident, Caroline, is partial for obvious reasons, but loves the Face Balm in particular. "I use it as a moisturizer every morning and it always makes my face feel fresh, clean, and moisturized without the heavy, thick feeling of so many other moisturizing products." Preach, Caroline. | Photo via @ursamajorvt.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣
Have you tried the small-batch soaps we carry from Line 45? They're handcrafted in Portland with ingredients you can pronounce (and practically eat). Fun fact: Portland is located at the 45th parallel, hence the name "Line 45." | Photo via @line45soap.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #supportwomen⁣
Happy International Women's Day! We're excited to shout loudly today and every day that our women-run shop proudly carries the brands of 45 women makers.

Tea anyone? We're staying warm with a calming herbal brew from Portland-based T Project. We love their small-batch loose leaf teas, which are hand blended with organic botanicals and tea leaves. We've got 12 varieties to chose from, whether you like a caffeinated green, an earthy black tea, or a soothing herbal elixr. | Photo via @tprojectshop. . . . . . . .
| Things We Love | The handmade jewelry of Zoë Comings is a go-to for shop gal Jenn. "Her pieces are so unique, artistic, and a joy to wear." Maybe it's the combination of clay and metal, or maybe it's @zoecomings background in fashion that lends itself so well to the elegantly-designed porcelain necklaces and earrings we carry in the shop. Stop by or give us a call to see the shapes and color combinations currently stocked. . . . . . . . . . . .
