New in the shop!

The amazing Saipua soap we stock comes from a lovely store in Brooklyn that makes THE MOST BEAUTIFUL flower arrangements. Sarah (whose mum makes the amazing soap) has created some tutorials on flower arranging. I love the bedside bouquet she creates here.

Friends, Tomorrow we will be closed, eating turkey/eating turkey sandwiches. Happy Thanksgiving!

NOW IN THE SHOP

You know what this means!

Not so long ago, you may remember that the talented Michelle Ford captured some beautiful photographs of the shop. She has just updated her website with new work, and we came across them again - and thought we’d share. 

See more of Michelle’s work on her new site http://www.michelleford.ca/ and blog.

Autumn Equinox

A good time to re-arrange a couple things at the shop! In the spirit of seasonal change, we moved some of our extremely heavy furniture around, and made some space on the shelves for a bit (just a bit!) of our fall stock. which has been trickling in slowly, but surely.

Ken Diamond hammered out some amazing new pieces for us - wallets of several cuts and colors. And we have another selection of those perfect-sized key fobs.

Our Hill-side stock is on the shelves alongside our fall Brixton baseball caps - which are amazing - leather strap n all. 

(And more to come.)

This photo reminds me - now that the weather is back to it’s old wintery ways, there is not a better time to catch the The Colour of My Dreams Surrealist exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery - it’s only up for one more week and it’s quite exciting on the eyes.

Happy Sunday!

NOW IN THE SHOP!

Alongside select summer clothes and shoes that are still marked down.

See you soon.

More Mast Brother’s Chocolates are in!

It’s been hard to keep them on the shelves, so we made sure to get an even larger variety this time around… and now there are whole new worlds of flavors to try out. We are particulary looking forward to sampling Cocoa Nibs, and single origin Madagascar and Dominican Republic. 

And, of course, the definite favorites are here too. They are packaged beautifully, as always.

These are some pictures from when The Selby went to visit the Mast Brother’s in Brooklyn, New York. Portland aside, Brooklyn is also a mecca for quality, non-automated craftmanship, a movement which we wholeheartedly support. See the full walk through of the beans-to-bar establishment here.
