Just In! Fun New Cards

Here are two great new cards that have just arrived. Can't get enough of them. The first one about avocados is so true. As a matter of fact, this just happened to Pat today - before she had even seen this card! The art is by Great Britain artist Simon Drew. It is blank on the inside. The other card is a completely new line for us and is from Whirled Atlas Paper Company. The inside of this one says "Now everyone knows that little secret". Stop in to see all the new cards from this company. The Simon Drew line has been replenished, so there are some clever new ones from him as well.

We LOVE These Belts!


Were so excited to start carrying these wool embroidered belts by Jenny Krauss. They are fair trade, hand-made and ecco friendly. Julia Robert's wears one in Eat, Pray, Love! Each belt is a one-of-a-kind work of beautiful craftsmanship using a contemporary take on traditional Andean techniques. These belts are hand made by women's cooperatives in rural areas of Peru. The work is done according to fair trade guidelines; most of the artisans sew in their homes or at a communal studio workshop and are paid a living wage. So important and such beautiful work!
