Queen of Cardboard










Queen of Cardboard: my new title, new f/t job... breaking down and recycling the bazillion boxes that have been arriving daily at Pomegranate. It's all good, though. Boxes mean new goodies, and new goodies mean happy customers. I think the recycling guy isn't all that pleased with us, though: he just delivered two more rolling carts so that we can try to tame the weekly mountain of stuff.

The shop feels really, really full right now; can barely squidge one more thing in there... yet somehow we always find space. New arrivals we love: chocolate candles (pillars and soy in glass) from Chocolate Flower Farm on Whidbey Island (exquisite! and I normally don't like food-scented candles, but these are really pure and smell like they should be edible), french/sea/hawaiian salts and wonderful little salt dishes (from simple wood bowls to pewter birds and mini french tagines), Voluspa and Archipelago candles and diffusers, Lollia hand creams and new shower gels, books, books, books (love the Snark Handbook; almost sold out but will get more), sumptuous velvet pumpkins, chic shopping totes (Eden bags actually made out of recycled water bottles), Halloween, more Halloween, serving dishes, trays, jewelry, cards, glassware, notepads, vases, frames, crazy cute plush animals for kids...

Come by this Saturday, October 8 for our Fall Open House, with treats and libations, goodies and tastings, from 12-5 at Pomegranate! The Queen of Cardboard awaits your arrival.
