Somehow amongst all the chaos of moving, my daughter Katherine managed to make a good-sized batch of soft wax. You can now pick up a jar from her etsy store. This might be the last batch for a while. We are taking her to college next weekend. And her cooking apparatus was damaged in the…
At long last, we now have restocked on all sizes of our chore coats. These are made here in Cincinnati by Sew Valley and are based on a traditional French design. They are nice enough to wear out to dinner, but tough enough to wear in a chilly shop. When ordering, we recommend you go…

When the shipper scans the book – beep – that sends the message to our store’s software. And our software sends a message to you with tracking information. Sometimes, USPS isn’t…
