A quick stroll around the shop and a few new arrivals caught my eye. Some would make great gifts, while other things would just be fun to keep for yourself. Here are a few of my new favorites today.
This olive oil is amazing, and I think the look & shape of the bottle makes it stylish enough to just leave out on the counter.
The colors on these boxes looks like a vibrant candy color. Lovely French stationery.
3 new scents from Mrs. Meyer’s. We have the apple and parsley by our kitchen sink in town, and I look for excuses to wash my hands.
The balsamic berry is a seasonal flavor that just arrived yesterday.
I love host/hostess gifts that can be used. We also love serving pistachios with cocktails. This fits the bill for both.
A glorious new match striker with a vintage soul.
A pad of paper placemats that you just pull out the number you need at the time. These have an outdoor picnic vibe to them.
Anything with a crown always catches my eye. I must have the London Olympics on my mind…
The scent of this new bar is just soooo good.
This is just the sweetest book.
A happy, happy Friday to you all in your part of the world! TKW
P.S. If your corner of the world is the Seattle area, check out the Puget Sound Business Journal today. It features an article on Watson Kennedy.
When I worked in a shop similar to yours, Creighton Edward, the hostess gifts I most often recommended included gourmet food items and/or soaps. Like you, I love that these items can be enjoyed but don’t present the hosts with the decorating delema that other items might. This is especially true of casual acquaintances…one wants to present a little something without imposing on the host’s esthetic. Many of the goodies you’ve pictured today I would proudly gift. Of course, to limit any feelings of envy, I would need to buy one for my family to enjoy…

Hi Diana. Thank you for the great comment. Gotta love a great gift! Happy Friday, Ted
Mrs. Meyers Parsley scent is so heavenly! Have you tried their Rosemary dishsoap? It makes me look forward to washing dishes by hand
Hi Joy. We have a bottle of it at our kitchen sink this very moment–love it! Bestest, Ted
