New Arrivals - Silk Ikat Pillows

Have you seen our new pillows yet? Ikat remains popular and these designs pack a great graphic punch. There's a great selection of black and white pillows along with some fresh, bright colors for spring. Check them ALL out here. 

One for You, One for Me

In the next few days, we'll be talking about ways you can share the love.

And not just the love that Cupid's arrows shoot. First up, friends!

My friends and I share pretty similar tastes, from our clothes

down to the kitchen sinks we buy. Then again, that's why

you're friends, right? A lot of times when I'm in that

shopping mood, I buy two. One for me (of course)

and one for my bestie. Then, surprise!

To Market

Saturday seems to be the day most of us head to whatever farmers' market is nearby. I never have a list. Whatever looks good, local and fresh is what I buy.

Today, while cruising on facebook, I noticed a beautiful picture that a friend took of her bounty. The bowl, filled with yummy fruit and veggies from The City Market, rests on an Ikat runner from the loaded trunk.

the sweet spot

Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate...

We have no Trader Joe's in Kansas City. Can you hear us Trader Joe's? I opened my pantry this morning and saw that I was down to one large dark chocolate bar. Then, I turned on the radio and our local NPR station was doing a piece on the history of candy in Kansas City.

Who knew Kansas City had such a history of these wonderful indulgences! Valomilk, Christopher Elbow fantastic artisanal chocolates and ice cream, Russell Stover's, Bitterman's, and Andre's where they have the most delicious marzipan.

Have a safe and thoughtful holiday weekend.

Ikats and baskets (pictured above) are available at the loaded trunk.
