Fully settled into fall

The colors of autumn have fully descended on the shop: deep maroons and oranges from the field, earthy browns in our new pottery from Akiko, the deep hues of fall vegetables. But first, one last glimpse of a late summer wedding bouquet, simply garden roses:

At this time last fall, the fields had shut down. This year, the marigolds keep going and going, and the bees are are pleased as bees can be.

As I mentioned we are now carrying pottery made by Akiko, whose gorgeous hand-built slab and wheel works are made in Seattle. We also have a slew of neat new greeting cards (none too saccharine), a first shipment from Fog Linen from Japan and heirloom pumpkins galore.

And here's a recent arrangement made in the shop.... with my cappucino from Sitka and Spruce in the corner.
