This summer has been full of exciting changes for us. We've just moved the warehouse from our home of nine years and namesake Olympia, Washington a hundred miles south to sunny Portland, Oregon. Nothing is changing with the store, we still feature the same great artists and will continue to do what we do, we're just doing it from a different place. Portland is an exciting town with tons of great places to eat and a lot of cool, like-minded folks creating great, functional art—old friends like Rebecca Pearcy's Queenbee Creations and Steve at Yeti Publishing to new favorites Julia at Arcana Soaps and Mikey and Mona of Tiny Meat. We're excited to be here. Throughout the move, we've continued to add quite a few great new products, so this newsletter's a little longer than usual... but there's even more than we've listed, so read on for some of the highlights, and then zip yourself directly to our latest page. 
Super Crazy Soft Bamboo Shirts Quick, order one of these shirts before Artist Nikki McClure takes them all. She loves these shirts, and so will you, they're made of sustainably harvested bamboo and are almost silk-like in their softness. 
The right soap can change your whole day. An invigorating hot shower and the sweet, sharp clean smells of artisan-crafted soap make you feel like a new person. 
Type Designers and Graffiti Writers Ian Lynam has collected interviews with twenty-plus global typeface designers, graffiti writers, and lettering artists.

Mixed-media artist Trish Grantham has teamed up with our friends at Tiny Meat to create a new wallet and passport Holder. Featuring Trish's delightful designs, they are useful, functional art. 
In The Field? Write it Down, Now! It's true, sometimes we add things to the store because we really want them ourselves. Such is the case with Field Notes, and we've already burned through a bunch of these amazingly well designed, functional carry-along note books. 
Little Who has cooked up some delicious new designs. From ponies to roosters, her designs are a lot about the beauty in the everyday. Sturdy cards with blank insides.

Start Cooking Right At Home, Featuring A Cover By Nikki McClure >>
