New arrivals for your perusal

We've received a great infusion of new products at Pomegranate over the last few weeks. It's been an interesting ride this summer, trying to buy the right things, in the right amounts, at the right time. When our orders come in (or we find some vintage stuff we love), we're so happy with the new things that we feel like doing a little dance (or maybe the heat is making us delirious). Here's a small sample of new arrivals:

Tea Forté iced teas. So delicious, with a clever glass pot/pitcher to brew it up fresh.

Aprons. Funky and fun. Some are locally made, some imports. They're bright and happy, and make a great gift.

School of Fish glassware. We are now fully stocked! Those of you who saw them at Wine by the River can now come in and get whatever you want (even that very popular large wine glass that we kept telling people wouldn't be here for another three weeks). We also got in shipments of our dragonfly bistro glasses (3 sizes), bee glasses, bowls, and carafes, and those cute cute cute little "vin" and "eau" bodega glasses.

Books. Cookbooks. Dog books. Style books. Baby books. Wine books.

Wine barrel top lazy susans -- people were practically fighting over these at Wine by the River. A few more came in, and we have more on the way.

Linens. Tea towels. All over the place. Vintage linens. All over the place. Tablecloths (a few) and placemats, napkins.

Bella Notte bedding. Oh. My. New fabrics, new color (cypress; a very soft, sagey green). Already ordered for ourselves the totally cozy and beautiful new "Adele" shams in white. Kind of a chenille jacquard that you just want to bury your face in. Just found out "chenille" means "caterpillar" in French. How cute is that?

Wine accoutrements: Robert's favorite corkscrew (Coutale); cocktail napkins (can't have too many of those on hand); little tasting guides (at $3, what a great stocking stuffer, and yes, it's time to start thinking about all that); and the cutest candles that look like corks (just stick them into your favorite empty wine bottle for instant ambiance, only $2 each).

Archipelago Pomegranate lotions; our favorite, back in stock. Also new Archipelago candles, selling quickly.

Vintage clocks. Mostly 1920s or so through mid-century. We bought a bunch from a collector.

Hotel silver: a nice little selection right now, although it probably won't last long.

Earrings made by a Portland artist, all really fun, all just $18 each.

French salts (crunchy grey sea salt and a delicious new crystalline fleur de sel) and bags of fresh Herbes de Provence, shipped over by one of our French companies. We use ours every day, on just about everything.

There's more. You just have to come in and see it all.
