New Monster Story!

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:05:31 +0000

One of the collections we carry for children is a line of books about monsters with matching plush dolls. These monsters are the cutest things you’ll ever see! And each one has a lesson to share with any young friend that opens their bright and colorful book.
Beginning with Nola, the Lonely little monster, the collection has grown to include three other monsters. The newest is called Fuddle, the monster of Confusion.
We are currently carrying 9 Limited edition copies of Fuddle’s story, which include two extra illustrations! (I’ve read the book myself, and it’s my favorite so far!)

So come check it out!

James Boyce Candles

I am just in love with Voluspa’s James Boyce candle collection. Renowned chef Boyce worked with Voluspa to create candle scents specifically to complement cooking, and I can attest that they are wonderful in a kitchen to take away the cooking odors you might not want, and make your kitchen smell mouthwatering. My personal favorite is Herb Garden, a mix of Black Chantarelle and Cardamom Flower.

The candles come in either a 3-wick tin (shaped as a chef hat) or for a fabulous hostess gift, there is a gorgeous wooden boxed glass candle as well.

Ski to Sea is underway!

Holiday Villainess!

Sally — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:51:01 +0000

Just in, a new batch of our favorite bath and body line, Villainess. My personal favorite holiday treat is their winter-edition Scintillating sugar scrub, in a lovely pale pink color with actual bits of peppermint candy. It’s vanilla-minty deliciousness, and we have it in soap, body butter and sugar scrub.

Also just in for the holidays: Mall Santa: the pervasive scent of cinnamon buns and cream cheese frosting, underscored with cheap whiskey, tobacco stains, toffee candies and delicious filthy lucre. Available in sugar scrub, soap and body butter.

Just Desserts: blood oranges dripping over a warm, resinous vanilla, wrapped in a dry peel of orange zest. Also available in sugar scrub, soap and body butter.

We have limited quantities of each, so be sure to come by and stock up.

We also have two fabulous new candle and home fragrance lines: Royal Apothic (as seen on November’s O List) and James Boyce by Voluspa. If you’re a fan of luxe candles as I am, be sure to check these out.

We love Papaya Canvas

Sally — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:09:18 +0000

We’ve carried a selection of Papaya Art’s beautiful office goods, paper, journals and art board prints since we opened, but we recently got in some of their gorgeous art canvases and were blown away by the quality and beauty of these in person. They need to be seen in person, for the hand-detailed accents. Fully wrapped canvases are finished on all sides, ready to hang and beautify your space.

Now Showing at Covet: Ben Mann’s Dia de los Muertos

Sally — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:00:09 +0000

We are super-excited to have local artist Ben Mann’s new Day of the Dead show hanging in our shop. Being longtime fans of skele-artwork of all kinds, it was a perfect match for us.

Now through November 15th, stop by the shop to see all of these wonderfully colored paintings.

Artist Reception: November 1st, 5pm - 7pm

Join us on the 1st (The Day of the Dead) to meet Ben, mingle, and enjoy some delicious nibbles from our Fairhaven neighbor Quel Fromage.

You can view the entire show here. If there is a painting you’re interested in, be sure to give us a call at the shop, 734-1382.

In other shop news, we are now open 7 days a week! Monday the shop is open 11am - 5pm. We’ll be open 7 days a week through the holiday season.

We are so coveting Emilie Sloan

When we shopping in Seattle last month, Sanda and I stumbled upon a line we hadn’t seen before, of absolutely gorgeous everyday tote bags. As the story goes, the company started when designer Lisa Murphy made totes for herself, and found her friends asking her to make them totes as well. Her eye for gorgeous colors and little details turned her designs into a hit. I always know it’s something we have to carry when Sanda and I are both drooling over something. The bags are waterproofed cotton (how important is that in Washington?), with grosgrain or leather handles. Lunch bags, totes, and large market bags are in stock now. This is green re-use made to last AND look super-fashionable.
