Branches Employee Picks Vol. 2

Here are the latest goodies to catch our eye in the shop this month.

Deb's Pick: Wood Wrapped Flasks

These fun flasks by Los Angeles based Spitfire Girl are stainless steel with a printed wood exterior label and hold 6 oz of liquid. I love the matching muslin bag they come with. Keep one handy for the next time you get lost in the desert. See more at spitfiregirl.com

Stefanie's Pick: Paper Lanterns

Branches is known in the neighborhood as the store with the paper stars in the window. They are so beautiful lit up, the colored tissue inserts have a nice glow. The variety of patterns and colors make for great decorations even when turned off. They are easy to assemble too, just pop open and tie the ends together.

Elisa's pick: Blackbird Letterpress

These wonderful and slightly macabre paper goods by Blackbird Letterpress are made in Lafayette, Louisiana. Founded by Kathryn Hunter in 2003, the designs are unlike anything else I've seen coming from a letterpress studio, and they also created some amazing perpetual calendars.

Molly's Pick: Stoned and Beautiful Jewelry

This gorgeous one of a kind jewelry line is made by Doris Kozlovic from Sisters, Oregon. Collages of brass, semi precious stones and beads become wearable works of art. The necklaces are delightfully long, and her earring collection is remarkably bold but very light weight. Follow her at instagram.com/stonedandbeautiful/
