Menu

A couple of weeks ago, we received our first shipment from Menu. The Danish company has wonderful designs. How did I decide to add them to our lines? My cousin, Adrien, and his friend, Jules, got me one of Menu rubber vases for my birthday. I loved it right away, colorful, versatile, and fun... the vase had to pass the quality test and after a few drops (involuntarily, of course) with or without water, I decide the grade will be an A+.
Time for us to contact the company, wrap up an order and here they go...
In addition to the rubber vases, we packed up the store with wine related items: vacuum stoppers, wine thermometers (extremely stylish), decanters, carafes, pourers. Come check them out.

Marimekko Fall 2008 collection

In store Marimekko fall 2008 products! Ginkgo, La Botte and MustiMatata (not the real name, but the real one is almost impossible to pronounce so Tammy and I had to come up with an easier name) cushions covers and a few more items of the Mustimatata fabric: aprons and trays.
Most of these ready made products are seasonal so we won't be able to reorder them.
