A very full shop...

Those of you from California might remember the Winchester Mystery House: the crazy interesting owner was convinced she would die if she didn't always have an expansion project in the works, so she was constantly building onto her sprawling mansion, even if it was a staircase that went nowhere.

What's the point? Sometimes I feel like batty Mrs. Winchester, needing to fill every corner of our shop to overflowing. I do like white space. I love simple, uncomplicated arrangements of furniture and things. But at the shop, we feel compelled to fill the empty corners. Plus, there are just so many good finds to be had; often we buy a collection or a piece because we love it, then figure out later where in the world it's going to go.

So, last couple of weeks, we've had some big shipment days (and consolidating of vintage buys from past trips). And there are lots of fun new items to peruse. In no particular order, here are just a few new finds:

Fabulous vintage cocktail accoutrements: small jiggers, tray, (and that little set is too cute for words).

Handmade in Oregon: pewter twiggy spreaders, serving spoons and salad sets. 

Oval French bowl and platter, great for serving soups, veges, mashers...

Our adorable microwaveable storage bowls are back in stock!

Another great addition to our Oregon Jacobsen salts – travel tins.

Very clean and fresh: Swedish sea salt soap

So moisturizing: avocado soap

New from Archipelago for your spa day at home

New designs in our art coasters: each one is different (great hostess gift)

Sweet little bowls and boxes for rings

More petite ring bowls, handmade pewter
