NYC

There are many, many things I love about having my own shop, but one of my favorites is that I get to go on buying trips. At least once a year I head to NYC to check out the new collections of thousands of designers showing their work at NY Now, a HUGE trade show for the accessory, home and gift industry. This year I picked up 8 new collections, here's a sneak peek of some pieces that will be available at Red Sail this fall (in fact the cards and blankets just arrived!).






Usually my stay in New York is under 48 hours (I know, 6000 miles in a weekend is a bear!), but this trip I actually gave myself half a day off to explore the city. I grew up outside of NYC so I've spent a decent amount of time there, but it's been years since I took the time to play tourist in the Big Apple, and a lot has changed. Here are a few sights that left an impression... and what make NYC such a great city.

Warm + Fuzzy Update

I so pleased to report that our Warm + Fuzzy Fundaraiser raised $1036 for the Oregon Humane Society! Thank you to all of our customers who purchased an ornament from us in November and December, YOU made this possible! Btw, the good folks at OHS even named a red tabby cat after our shop, and he's already been adopted!
