in print :: in store :: bkr bottles


Everything we sell, we love. Take the bkr bottle for example, these water bottles are not only functional but beautiful. We have multiple bkr's in our kitchens and are always wondering what color we are going to buy next. These bottles fit perfectly in our cup holders, never tip over, are easy to carry with the loop top, come in beautiful colors and never, ever taste funky. Because they are made with glass you can put orange juice in one day and water the next and never taste yesterday's breakfast. Ever. You can also drop them on the sidewalk (often) and they come out unscathed (although we wouldn't recommend purposely trying this!). We have been selling these beauties for a couple years now and are excited to finally see some of our favorite magazines jump on board the bkr wagon. 






let's take a stroll down memory lane

It has been ages since we've seen this photo.
Actually, the image within the photo.
The one on the right where 'Mamy' and M are walking down Midland Avenue.
Let's take a better look...
She hasn't worn those pink cowboy boots in at least a year.
If not longer.
They simply grow up far too fast.

New Space = Happy Place

We have been busy these first few weeks of 2013. In mid-January, we moved from our old store to a new space just up the street. Only 195 steps away to be exact. With more than double the space, we have successfully managed to spread out, create a cozy fireplace seating area (the husband drop-off) and we now have a fantastic studio in the back of the store. The studio space allows us room to work one-on-one with clients and fulfill all the creative custom paper goods orders. We have theHELLOtote on display as well so that you can easily see the options for creating a custom welcome bag. 
New space = happy place.
We won't lie. It's fantastic. And you will find us here. Often.

Stop by our new space at:
231 Midland Avenue
Suite 201
(formerly Toklat Gallery)
Downtown Basalt, Colorado

As always, visit us online:

Thoughts for Today: Trees


sometimes...
it is so hard to see the forest
through the trees.

but chaos and craziness can be good.
and the trees are beautiful.
and there is yet a forest to explore and discover.
