Freshen up with Plants!
We are over the moon with houseplants! I think this long, gray northwest winter has really stoked our desire (need?) to bring the outdoors in. We're decorating our own homes with a variety of beautiful, fresh foliage so, of course we wanted to bring all kinds of gorgeous greenery into our shop! Choose among the huge variety of plants of all sizes. Pair a tiny plant with a pretty new pot for a perfect little hostess gift. Pop a larger plant into a basket for a nice contrast of texture. It's amazing how this simple touch can really give a fresh update to any decor!
Spread a little love
Valentines Day is my favorite holiday! It doesn't demand the all-out over-the-top gift giving experience that Christmas has come to require. Just a sweet little something to give that response of delight! Drop by our shop and step into our happy, heart-filled world of gifts to express your affection!
Of course we have delicious candy treats - beautiful non-pareil cherry hearts {as yummy as they pretty}, Seattle Chocolate specialty chocolate bars, Fran's salted chocolate caramels, chocolate toffee treats and more!
Be sure to pick out a card that says just the right thing: romantic, silly, pretty, witty, kid-friendly, or even a little naughty! We still have a dizzying assortment so you might want to reserve a little time for a proper search ;).
Now a gift to go with the candy and card! How about a fresh houseplant in a lovely new pot? {We are SOOO excited about this new obsession}. OR choose from our selection of books: Love Poems (for people with kids), Modern Love {fresh from the Prime series}, Sarah Adler's new cookbook, Simply Real Eating... OR maybe a lovely pair of earrings, or necklace... OR so many sweet little something-somethings!
One Year in Olde Burien!!
Remember "Bonjour Burien"? A year ago we set in the mosaic door mat (whew!) and starting passing out canvas bags to make our statement: "Bonjour Burien, we are so happy to be putting the products we love in our home town!" We never tire of hearing you say that you're glad we're here as well. We even have a customer who said she comes into the shop when she's feeling down just to lift her mood! We are most happy to oblige!
As long-time residents we feel good ole' Burien is on the rise and what a thrill to be a part of it! We thank all of you for the support that you have given us. We take it as a strong statement that you want to do some shopping in your home town in real stores from real people.
We are committed to stocking only the items that we want to use (and gift) ourselves. We work hard to find unusual, functional, earth-friendly products of high quality that reflect our design aesthetic. This brings joy to our work and our relationships with our customers! Our hope is that when you visit you will have an uplifting, fun-filled adventure as you discover the perfect gift or necessity nestled in our shelves!
SO...please join us on Friday, November 29 from 10 am - 6 pm to celebrate this mini-milestone! We'll have sips and treats and a gift with purchase! Bring your "Bonjour Burien" bag from last year and you'll get 10% off your entire purchase all day!
We hope that you will spend the day and discover all the amazing little shops in the neighborhood!
