A Best-Bet Accessory... Yarnz Scarves

Last week the Spring collection from Yarnz arrived, and the reaction from customers in the shop has been a resounding, "OOO.... I LOVE this!" These gorgeous scarves look amazing when worn wrapped, and are equally as beautiful when you open them up as a shawl, revealing the intricate designs Yarnz is famous for. I've had one of their ultra-soft cashmere/silk scarves for several years and I still get compliments on it every single time I wear it... who doesn't love that?!

Below are a few of my favorite designs (Nymphs, Woodcut Horses, and Pears), but you can shop the full selection in our Portland store, or here, in our online shop  The Spring collection includes scarves that are 70% cashmere/30% silk, 50% cashmere/50% silk, and 100% linen, and range from $58 - $168. We only have two of each design so get one while you can!

 

 

Tangerine Tango

Tangerine Tango is Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year, and you can almost feel the heat and energy radiating from this bold orange-red... not a bad thing when it's February and raining nearly every day.






With that in mind I was super excited to have students from Portland's Art Institute use the color as inspiration for window display they designed for RED SAIL this week. The girls did a great job constructing a bold eye-catching window using asymmetrical dream catchers as a backdrop to  RED SAIL accessories and home accents in the Tangerine Tango family.

Below are some of my favorite pieces from the Tangerine Tango window display...come on by and pick up your own little bit of summer in February today!

Oregon Humane Society Fundraiser Results

Just want to pass along a special thank you to all of our customers who supported the Oregon Humane Society by buying an animal themed Christmas ornament from RED SAIL between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We donated 15% of the sale of those items, raising over $250 (that doesn't even include the cash in our counter-top donation bin either!) for OHS. On behalf of all the puppies, kitties, bunnies, and other creatures cared for by the Oregon Humane Society, thank you! If you'd like more info about OHS visit their site,  http://www.oregonhumane.org/
