Summer Sale

Shark Attack! 20% off everything Saturday, July 11th!

We're having a Summer (shark attack) Sale! Everything will be 20% off!! Drop everything and head to Olde Burien! This is the perfect time for a mid-summer reset: a new summery scented candle, a cookbook with inspiring summer recipes and of course, beautiful new plants, pots and baskets! Don't miss this once-a-season chance to stock up on the cards and gifts you'll be needing this summer.

As usual for the Pacific Northwest summer has been a long time coming. 2020 is the year we're longing not only for summer but for so many other little joys that seemed unremarkable parts of our former lives. Parties, craft classes, gym workouts, summer swim meets, family reunions, Seafair... for many of us this even includes the simple pleasure of shopping. Just browsing lovely things displayed with care brings the comforting feeling of normality. We hope you'll find time this Saturday to join us for a bit of retail therapy!

Open Again!

Our new 2020 Burien T-shirt!

Such a tough couple of months...we are so hoping that all we have been through, the COVID-19 pandemic, the George Floyd tragedy and renewed demands for social justice for all, and the sunken economy will be the thing that brings us all together in a new and meaningful way. We feel hopeful. Re-opening the shop even under new limitations feels like one of the layers of gray has been lifted.

Our goal is to provide a little happy space where everyone is welcome. We have re-stocked our shelves with lively, fresh plants. Our 2020 Burien T-shirts arrived yesterday so all sizes are now is stock. Cards and gifts for 2020 graduates and for Dads are filling our shop. All we need now is to see your faces again.

We are so grateful to all of you that showed up for our weekend sales, participated in our "Window Shopping" promotion and made purchases through our website. These are the things that sustained us both financially and emotionally through the last few months. Thank you.

Gifts for Mom

Saturday, May 9th will be our last open "Take-out" day before Mother's Day! Drop by the shop between noon and 3:00 and we'll bring the items you request to you outside the door. You can make purchases at the curbside. To keep us all safe we are slathering everything (including ourselves) with disinfectant and peeking out from behind our masks ;).

We've put together some gifts that we think mom will love ('cause we love them and we're moms). Buy them as a group and we'll put them in a lovely box with a gift tag and ribbon or choose any item individually.

The ultimate Mother's Day gift! Luxe hand soap and hand cream paired with a lovely scented candle from Formulary 55 is just the thing to soothe those over-washed hands!

What a couple! A book of inspiring postcards from an old friend (named Barack) and a thoughtful journal from Michelle. Pair with a lovely citrus crush scented candle for some much needed bliss!

Spoil Mom with a little Kate Spade stationery love. Surely she'll need some special notecards for pandemic correspondence and a Kate Spade pen or mechanical pencil to match the journal + the notecards. A little scented bliss comes in the form of this lidded ceramic candle with Coconut Mango Milk scent.

Plants really bring the indoors to life! We just picked up a nice variety of some amazing fresh plants. Pair a unique pot, basket or macrame hanger! This cool, handmade (in Burien) wooden planter (lower right side) is among the many options. A good plant book is a thoughtful addition to a plant gift. I love "Leaf Supply". Pretty enough to be a coffee table book, it combines basic plant instructions with inspiring pics for styling with plants and fun bios of some cool "plant people" - all with a British flair!

A few things to usher in a little calmness - tailor made for this strange time. A quality writing instrument like this gold rollerball pen with a magnet top lends a feeling a authority.
