we're moving!!! (well, sort of)


[Moving to 8605 Burnet, Andy Mattern at Stephen L. Clark Gallery]

starting next week you can find openhouse a stone's throw from our old shop
(still inside the shops at 5807, 5807 patterson
avenue @ libbie) just head
straight back and we'll be next to our
good friends at, MonkeyGrass. same
great stuff, just a new look and space.
and keep coming back as we add a
TON of new fall things to help you
get ready for school and fall and the holidays.
we'll be adding some
new local designers as well as some from afar. and our
current family
members are rolling out fun new designs as well. lots of changes,
but
still the same hip, handcrafted accessories for you and your home! and
remember to check us out online if you're not in richmond. enjoy! k&m

seriously cool learning



we're loving these flash cards from etsy seller Sparkle + Sketch.
made from photos taken of objects around her home, the images
are mounted on thick acid-free board and then varnished with
a non-toxic AP. the colors and photos are just lovely. little lj is a
tad too young for them, but what a great gift for a 1 or 2 year
old. and at $26 for a set of 10, beautifully boxed, you can't beat it.
choose from a variety of images and words or send her some of
your own ideas.

enjoy! and happy shopping! k&m

we're back and we're in the news!



hey folks! sorry it's been so long since we've posted. babies, work, shop, life...it all seemed to get in the way :o)

wanted to point out a couple of openhouse mentions lately. first, a really beautiful blog called sweetlovelyafternoon highlighted our perch! chloe vessel (probly my favorite thing in store right now). she's taking a break for the rest of the summer, but bookmark it and check back in the fall. i think her mission and style is just sweet and lovely.

last, but CERTAINLY not least, we got a great little write up in the design*sponge RVA guide. thanks to locals kelly brown and leslie kingery for the props! we are in good company. and thanks to the internet, folks don't need to come to town to see us, just hop over to the virtual shop and enjoy some SERIOUS summer sales going on.

we're back later today with a few announcements, so stayed tuned.
