This coming weekend we are so ready for a BIG celebration here in Boston! Marathon weekend is near and dear to our hearts here in Beantown and I couldn’t be more proud of my friends who are running this year! While I’ve been binge watching Love on Netflix and eating all sorts of crap this winter, there are plenty of people who have been training hard to run 26.2 miles. All at once mind you:)

This weekend also reminds us that spring is, in fact here; it just doesn’t feel like it. The sun is setting later, the snow is sort of gone and it’s time to think about our 1 YEAR Anniversary party! Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 29th. We’ll celebrate the occasion with yummy treats, special discounts and a fun raffle to thank you all for your support this year!

So if you’re in Boston for the weekend stop by the North End to experience some fun and eclectic shopping (can you say no big box stores?) and amazing food of course (PASTA!) – And to my runner friends I say YOU GOT THIS!!! I’ll be there cheering you on as loud as I can. I may not be able to run 26.2 but I have been known for being an amazing cheerleader!!!

Spring is coming! Hallelujah. This morning we took a trip to the Flower Exchange and got a much-needed reminder that flowers are still blooming somewhere! We just need to get through 52 more days of winter. How do we do that?

We asked some of our lovely, local customers just this question…
How do you get through the Winter Blahs? 

“I try out new winter inspired recipes like a hearty stew or big pasta dish. Then I cozy up under a blankey and watch corny tv. 😂”

“A good work out and a warm cup of soup and always making sure I have something to look forward too!”

“A good yoga class at North End Yoga. It might take effort to get myself there, but once I’m there I feel so much better about everything!”

“Light. Hot cocoa with whipped cream. A bunch of flowers. A walk. Sunshine. Good music.”

“Exercise. Getting to the gym nearly kills me but leaving the gym after a great workout is absolutely the greatest feeling. Nothing like some good old fashion retail therapy. Often in winter I paint a room, pick up a project like glazing a table or something to make me feel like my house is looking more fresh. Fresh flowers, bulbs growing in my kitchen, lots of gin and tonic’s and pretending it is spring time. Getting a new tv series will take my mind off how much I don’t love the winter!”

“Warm baths with lush bath bombs. A man in my bed.”

Ok, well that’s our Pg-13 version of what might help:)

You can always come in and try our new line of @soymuchbrighter candles and new diffusers from @notedcandles…the lovely scent will bring some much needed warmth to any room!

Happy day before Halloween everybody! So we’ve all put our summer clothes away, and taken them out again, and put them away…and taken them out AGAIN….This time it seems like maybe we are putting summer to bed and fall is actually happening so we’ve brought out our cozys at the shop.

Fall also brings with it our new line of dog collars, leashes and bandanas. We’re super excited to partner with Found My Animal. Check out these awesome products that help promote animal adoption.
