Basil butter is nice for the freezer. It’s especially nice fresh from the blender, aerated as cake frosting, and showered in herby salt. I think you should put a pinch of sugar in it, to really do all those enormous, curved canopy leaves justice.

This is a post about Weck jars, though. Fresh stock arriving Wednesday for all your garden savoring and storing needs.

Or. For work lunches. School snacks. If that’s your truth this week. 😘

Such great fun today! Big thanks to the Maynard Business Alliance alliance for making this happen. Such a festive way to see through the summer slow down! You all are OUT HERE. I love to see it, love to see you. 💋💋💋

Also— big congrats to Secondhand News for their one year anniversary. ☀️

There’s a new candle in town. Redolent of freshly turned earth, leaves caressing your face as you tend tend tend. A very green thing indeed.

I think you should know nice things about your friends. We are friends, right?

I really like cosmos.

If you’ve been here a bit, you already knew that. Their weedy, tenacious little bobble heads, delicate but actually tough. Popping up wherever they are planted, and sometimes where they are not. Sidewalk cracks are as comfortable as a loamy landscaped garden patch. And— they give and give and give. Long after all the other summer flowers have quit their sun and root reaching, cosmos are here for a good time and a long time.

Maybe because my birthday is in October and all I’m left with are sunflowers and mums and asters and all things orange and red and brown (no thank you), I’m greatful they stick around so long, that there are still dancing and delicate petals to push into my greedy, flower loving hands.

Thanks, Ferjulian's Farm - you grow great ones. XO

The annual Summer Send Off Sale starts tomorrow, and if you want deals on dresses, baskets, bags, shoes and sandals, sunglasses, and summer decor— we will see you at 11am sharp.

The following Saturday is Maynard’s downtown sidewalk sale and I am pulling up old old back stock, my stash of antique longerberger baskets, and a lot of random do-dads priced to move.

PLUS— a small run of mystery boxes stuffed with $100 worth of goodies for $25. It’s a party.

Team gazpacho? Or no. I much prefer smooth versions with lots of fun stuff so every bite is different, but tell me what you like.

(Note the period and not a question mark. Go on, then. Chat amongst yourselves.)

Got just a small handful of these painstakingly created hydrangea platters available in the shop. Made by me out of sturdy high fire porcelain, local flowers, and finished with a flourish of 22k gold. They range in price from $50-120 and I really only offer them a few times a year because they are not sustainably to scale, but I do so love making them. Perfect thing for a flower lover now, or to tuck away as a sweet surprise come some needed moment in the future. (See how I didn’t say the holidays?)

Lots of other kiln freshies in the shop, too. Bud vases, fern and queen Anne’s lace platters and soap dishes, etc.

A little bit of summer saved forever, friends. Happy Saturday. We are open until 5, AC is cranked on high. 💋

In the land of brick and mortar retail, sales and clearances are for two things: clearing away seasonal goods for new things to keep a collection tight and the store-flow making sense, and 2. Enticing customers with standard issue mark downs as bribery initiatives. Now, here’s the thing. This is not the Gap. We don’t clog up your inbox with offers to slash prices down to lowest possible number just to get you to buy something. That’s for places that have profit margins in the multiples of hundreds because they are using exploitative labor practices in the name of affordability. Places that sacrifice quality for quantity. Places that want you with bursting closets and burdened shelves filled with flash in the pan trends. So, we skip the rationale behind door number 2, okay?

That’s not my game, friends. Any sales event we have is an offering and an invitation. At 302 square feet of space, every inch counts in here. And as the seasons slowly change, and we prepare to think ahead for what’s going to be useful and joyful for the cooler months, some things have just got to go (looking at you, sundresses).

And, since our goods are timeless, you can be sure you’re not just getting a bargain, but investing in your future warm seasons.

Anyway. Our 8th annual summer send off sale is happening August 15-31. Get in early for the best selection and don’t forget the town wide sidewalk sale happening Saturday August 22. 💋

Save this post for all the info!

You know I love a theme, right? And summer and gardening and still warm from the sun produce? I also love a swan song, a last or near to last hurrah, a bitty baby encore.

We are having a soirée. One weekday night in early September. A festive sort of pity party amid the back to school time change and shortening of days. It’s going to be a sweet salve for sunburnt souls, okay?

Part gathering, part limited release capsule collection, part cocktail party. Yes? Yes. TBD for the date. 💋🍅💋

You know we love a basket in this house. But do we LOVE a basket? A bit of shiny wicker? Is anyone else getting a constant stream of adverts for the upcoming Olivia Coleman 50 Shades of Hay movie? Is this a thirst trap for crafters? A trans story packaged in lust strewn, straight presenting whimsy? Is it an AI trailer? I admit, I initially thought so.

Anyway. Tell me what you think?

Also, 50 Shades of Hay?! How am I this clever in a Monday morning? I deserve a prize for that.
