If you're lucky enough to be in the neighborhood this weekend stop by the shop and listen to Uni & her Ukulele. She'll be playing in our window this Saturday, May 23rd. From 12:30 to 4:00. Uni was sweet enough to play at the grand opening of our previous location and we've been big fans ever since. She's even inspired us to take up the ukulele ourselves.

Connor Fitzpatrick, the creator of The Mini Farm Box delivered a delicious gift to the shop last week.. Our own Mini Farm Box! It has everything we need to start growing pure, organic vegetables right in our own back yard (or sidewalk in front of the shop in our case). Connor locally delivers complete, ready-to-grow boxes, irrigation systems and 100% organic planting soil for a fraction of what you spend at the farmer's market. One Mini Farm-box will grow up to 70 heads of lettuce, 80 lbs of tomatoes, dozens of eggplants, zucchini, melons, beets, beans...there's no limit to what you can grow. The boxes come in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. They're perfect for apartment dwellers or anyone with limited yard space. Mini Farm Boxes start at only $159 and that includes delivery (Los Angeles and neighboring areas only). You can call the shop to order and for more info or check out the Mini Farm Box site. We're looking forward to our first salad in the coming weeks!

We're looking forward to seeing our pal Lisa Congdon who will be in town this weekend. She will be teaching a decoupage class at the shop this Friday night, May 8th from 7-10. You can take home a lovely collaged plate which would make an amazing Mother's Day gift. There is still space in the class so if you would like to sign up just click here . An evening with Lisa is always a blast so you're sure to have a great time.

We're happy to announce the launch of the all-new Home Ec. website! Visit the new site for all the details about upcoming classes happening in our Home Ec. department. You can view an entire month's worth of classes at a time, register online, and also browse our selection of fabrics and such. Enjoy!
