Hey all,

While there’s a lull during Crossbred Thread’s fabulous opening, let me tell you about some of the lovely ceramics Patti Sandberg just sent us all the way from Portland!

I asked Patti if she could send us some nautical-themed pottery, and boy did she deliver! Bear with me as the pottery itself is a little different, but we have new tumblers, mugs, and a couple bowls featuring either an an awesome anchor or whale design.

Whale tumbler (we also have whale mugs and a lovely bowl)

Anchor tumbler (same deal-we have mugs and a bowl with this design as well)

And menfolks! We have NEW WALLETS!

These wallets by Life the Real are handmade in Maine of recycled sailcloth:

These wallets are super lightweight and totally weatherproof; come check ‘em out!

toodles,

Stephanie

Start shopping, early birds!

Hey weekend babies,

Since I’ve been on an early Christmas-gift-buying spree, I thought I’d share some of my favorite gift ideas from Young Blood. Personally, this is the first year I’ve actually gotten a jumpstart on gift shopping, and I’m feeling less stressed just thinking about what I’ve knocked out thus far. Below are some of my favorite (and affordable!) gifts and designers.

Meg Leigh jewelry. It’s pretty, feminine, and her prices are fantastic.

Brass leaf earrings by Meg Leigh.

Sterling sparrow necklace, also by Meg Leigh.

A new vendor I’m really excited about, Patti Sandberg Ceramics! I ADORE everything we have of hers.  Patti hails from Portland, Maine, and it was all I could do not to buy everything we have of hers for my own kitchen.

Milton & Margie’s soy wax candles. Their scents are amazing, and their candles are all held in recycled containers like mason jars and little lanterns. We have fall-ey scents like “Pumpkin Pie”, “Pine”, and “Warm Apple Pie”, and classics like “Clean Laundry”, “Lavender” and “Mulberry”. psst! Milton and Margie are artist Jess’s  kitties, and the shop is their namesake. Love it.

And–be still my heart–prints by London illustrator, Julia Pott. To be honest, I don’t think anyone will be receiving one of these from me, unless it’s my man friend because I could still see it as his place, because I couldn’t bear to part with one.

I’m in love.

Now, as my mother would say, “go forth…” and have a great weekend!

Steph
