Currently Inspired: The Great Outdoors

One of our favorite things about living in the south is that you can pretty much go camping any time of the year. And our latest entryway display, starring one of our favorite new finds: a vintage canvas cot, has got us inspired to pack our sleeping bags & spend a night out in nature. Unfortunately, the weather is a little dreary right now, but we're already looking ahead to the weekend &, thankfully, the forecast calls for a whole lot of sun. In the meantime, come on by the store & get inspired by our homage to the great outdoors!  

On the Table: Campsite Breakfast

With all of the beautiful weather we've been having lately, it's hard for us not to want to take all of our meals outside. Dining al fresco is easily our favorite way to enjoy a delicious meal, which is one reason why we love camping so much. Seeing as we can't head to the mountains for an outdoor excursion at the moment, we figured we would just bring the campsite to us and set our table for a good ol' morning-in-the-mountains, hearty breakfast. Bringing together, our enamelware mugs, olive wood bowls and ceramic egg cups, we've set the table for a perfect outdoor feast. Now bring on the coffee!

Well-Equipped: Outdoor Excursion Edition

Now that the weather finally feels like spring, we can't help but feel the itch to take a day to go outdoors and explore the wilderness. For us, there's nothing as refreshing and invigorating as rediscovering our natural surroundings. Each day we see the trees blossoming more beautifully than the last and to hear the birds chirping early in the morning is as true of a sign as any that spring is here to stay. Whether you're taking a day trip to go hiking or if you're planning an overnight excursion there are a few essential items one should never leave civilization without. Today we've packed a handy kit for all your basic wilderness exploration needs. With essential items like a pocket knife, matches, flower guide and traveler's notebook, you can rest assured you will be well equipped on your day of exploring. Stop by soon and pick out your excursion essentials and go explore!

Behind the Glass: The Call of the Young and the Wild

With summer approaching it’s easy to reminisce over the carefree days of adolescence. A feeling of nostalgia looms in the air as we dream of the possibility to experience the world as we knew it when we were young. The Imagination a child possesses is extraordinary. Even the smallest experience can seem like an epic adventure. The youthful risk-without-consequence attitude now seems more appealing than ever. As the nights continue to stay warm, the idea of a voyage deep into the mountains becomes increasingly enticing. Equally as inspired, our display artists worked hard to capture our nostalgia for the freewheeling days of being young in our newest window display. 

Here are a few items to help you relive your past adventures:

1. Preservation Notebook | 2. Bedroll | 3. Brass Globe | 4. Toadstool | 5. Willow Fishing Basket | 6. Cracker Box with Glass Slide
