Shopping for Spring (and stocking the store)

I know we're still in the middle of February, but my mind is focused on springtime.  And, most importantly, stocking our store with really great spring items.  Sourcing and designing new products for High Street Market is honestly the best part of having a retail store.  It's not easy, but when everything comes together, it's so rewarding and really fun. :)  When selecting new pieces for our retail business, we are constantly thinking about our customer-- What does our customer want or need for spring/summer?  What is the price point?  What inspires us and what can we create that's new and unique?  For spring and summer, we're thinking of classic woven textures, lightweight sun-faded fabrics, new metallics (like copper and mercury glass), and pieces that feel unfussy and lived in.  That being said, we've got a lot of new goodies coming down the pipeline (including some new candles that I'm fixated on)...  and today, we launched two new product lines.

The first is a new woven line of trays and baskets (I'm obsessed).  The quality is top notch and the price point is great.  Every single piece in the collection is hand woven.  We went with two finishes-- a classic antique brown and a fresh, almost sun-faded white wash.  We hope you like it as much as we do.


I love everything, but those extra large fruit bowls with the pedestal base are pretty rad.

We've also launched a new line of springtime throw blankets.  The price point is very affordable-- most blankets start at $46.00 each!  They're handmade of 100% cotton, and very lightweight-- perfect for those cool springtime temperatures.  Think porch lounging and sunset watching with a cozy blanket (and maybe a glass of wine).  We have a Diamond pattern and a Herringbone weave...



PS. with the fringe, these throws also make chic tablecloths-- perfect for alfresco dining this summer.
