Rock Star on Premises

Hello All - Chelsea Fuss (she of the great blog Frolic and also the concept behind the Portland blog Urban Weeds) was at the store looking for some props last week.  She was doing a shoot at the Eugene Hotel featuring her 100 plus year old grandmother Grace for Kinfolk Magazine.  We'll let you know when it's out.
In the meantime, I was a little star struck and Chelsea was kind enough to pose for this photo with Becky. And I know you're not supposed to follow superstars around your store and beg for photos.  I just couldn't help myself because Chelsea Fuss really is one of my visual heroes.  I suppose you could say her look is all about the simple life.  And she has styled some shots of "the simple life" that have really seared themselves into my mind. Click here to go to Frolic.  And click here to go to Urban Weeds.  And click here if you want to know more about Kinfolk.  It's a magazine about uncomplicated entertaining and  features lots of fun outdoor dining shots.  And  ssssshhhhhh.....don't tell them but  it's the kind of party giving  we've been doing in Eugene forever.

Best Little Hostess Gift

I kind of have a thing for tea towels lately.  Ever since I noticed that my kitchen towels were raggedy and worn and one of those things that I looked at so often , I didn't even realize how totally scrungy they were.

So  I tossed the old and am replenishing my stock.  This is my new favorite one at the store.  It's from a Canadian artist and has the recipe for Georgia O'Keefe's soda bread that she cooked every day out at Ghost Ranch.  Plus it's packaged in glassine with twine and a charming photo of Georgia.  Perfect for a chef, a bread baker, or an art lover. 

Click here and here to see the other towels I now have at home.And may I say, they are a complete pleasure to use. 

Let there Be light

And a happy solstice to all. The longest day of the year.  All that light really is something to celebrate !
