PHILOSOPHIES

We love the popular quote by William Morris, (1834-96) the British craftsman, designer and a founding father of the Arts and Crafts movement in England:

This has been our philosophy from the beginning (October 2003). Since going earth-friendly (September 2008) we have raised the bar higher. We still prefer functional, beautiful and useful items -- and we want them to be have a modern eco-sensibility.

We think William Morris' thoughts on home, spoken long ago, can still make our lives easier and a lot less stressful today.

Functional Beauty
Our buyer's checklist puts merchandise to the test before we write an order with a vendor or craftsperson. We have a strong commitment to our values and goals when seeking out new items to bring into the shop. It makes our buying trips a true adventure and ensures that we offer only the best earth-friendly products for you to select from.

Select Gifts With Confidence
We're often told that gifts purchased in our store are favorites - just the site of our logo on a bag (or box) fills the recipient with eager anticipation. That is an enormous compliment that we appreciate hearing, and we take it very serious. Nothing is nicer than giving a gift you feel really good about, and we always strive to meet your highest expectations.

Whether you look to us for the perfect gift, the finishing touch for a room - or just the right outfit, you can shop with confidence. We always do our best to ensure you are happy and satisfied with your purchases.
