NEW Spring Essentials Pouch!
Small Batch Spring Essentials Pouch!
Our new Spring Essentials Pouches combine antique textiles inside and waxed canvas outside or vice versa. Each is paired with a springy vintage zipper. Another Choose Your Own Adventure!
Last summer we found a little stack of antique German textiles that was irresistible – there were blues and reds, a variety of plaid pillow shams and bedspreads. They were used to pack antique furniture en route from Germany to America, and after transport, were sitting neatly folded and severely neglected – until I spied them.
If you love pouches then you are in for a treat! We cut up the textiles and incorporated them into our Essentials Pouch. Use one for pens, pencils and art supplies and another for balms and tinctures. Pouches help to organize our bags and lives into satisfying little pockets – it is hard to be without them and you can never have too many.

How does a thing begin? With a word, a colour, a rhythm thumping around in one’s head. Ideas rise from the perfect and unexpected combination of little things. This one started with a remembered crunch of vintage chiclet gum upon finding partly faded fabric, shells from the water’s edge, and well-worn aprons and quilts bearing evidence of past existence. It is also spring, and the springy colors of Chiclets and chicklets and flowers abound. When I came upon two little hand-stitched curtains with yellow and chartreuse flowers, it all came together. Weird and wonderful – just as we like it.

Collections Explained
If you’ve been following along with us for a while, you may have noticed that not all launches are the same – some products stay for years, some fly off the shelves, and others fall somewhere in between. Here are some explanations to distinguish between our various collection types.
Standard Collections: Everything in our standard collections will be ongoing until we decide to stop making them! They may include some vintage or antique materials, (ex. journal fabric lining) but these details will vary subtly to ensure their ongoingness.
Small Batch Collections: Limited batches incorporating vintage or antique materials where larger batches can be made, but are not infinite! The quantity ranges, but we aim for minimum of 100 in these collections.
Of a Kind Collections: Limited batches incorporating vintage or antique materials. Each object will be limited from 1–20 items depending upon our findings.

Everywhere Astonishments
I went to New York for two days to visit friends. I didn't take photographs except for my little wander to a coffee shop in the morning. We discovered that pigeons nest in the Sycamore Tree hollows. Most of the visit felt like old Sesame Street episodes. The dogs, the crossing guards, the wire fences.

Visited Yoseka Stationery Shop. What a magical place! It was packed. I didn't take a single photograph. :(
