As the song says, "...these are are a few of our favorite things!" Being surrounded by such wonderful temptations all day can be quite a challenge. Please enjoy our staff selections, and come by the shop and make your own list of favorites!

Deb's Pick: Papaya Art Large Travel Pouch

Bright, artistic designs make the Papaya Art collection of luxe bags a fun, versatile and practical addition to my travel gear. The 9" x14" large bags can accommodate paperwork, toiletries or delicates, and are easy to spot inside a packed suitcase. I take them everywhere I travel.

Elisa's pick: Wavetree and London Sicilian Orange Soap

These Australian artisan soaps are French triple milled with organic shea butter to produce the creamiest lather I've ever experienced. Sicilian Orange is my favorite scent of the moment, clean, pure and sunny. Wavetree and London has a great selection of scents that the whole household can use, from musky to citrusy to floral, and the milling process keeps them from melting away in the shower.

Stefanie's Pick: Little Lark Wood and Felt Slingshot

Local Portland makers Little Lark have created the perfect slingshot to dominate the office wars. Made with wood, leather and rubber, they easily propel the cute non lethal felt balls at least 30 feet. For children or adults, slingshots are just plain fun. Why grow up?

Molly's Pick: Himalayan Candles Grapefruit and Pine

These small batch hand poured soy candles have a clean, heavenly scent, and I love the purple tones of the hurricane glass containers. They are beautiful and reusable! The Grapefruit and Pine blend includes notes of grapefruit, plum, Siberian fir, musk and sandalwood, with an burn time of up to 60 hours.
