Molly CarterComment

Happy 4th of July everybody!!! Summer came in HOT this year! We don’t know about you guys.. but we are so excited about this warmer weather - because that means backyard BBQ’s, days out by the pool, and spending time outdoors with friends and family!

Let’s talk our favorite outdoor entertaining/summer essentials that are available in the shop, and online! Tons of our favorites are very limited stock, and once it’s gone - it’s gone!! So if any of our favs make it onto your must-have list, make sure to come shop them ASAP!!

We love outdoor entertaining this time of year! Whether you’ve got an outdoor pizza oven, the ultimate grill setup, or your standard charcoal barbecue - nothing beats gathering up the ones you love and dining al fresco! We’ve got everything you need to host the ultimate summer cookout!

You already know about our amazing french linen aprons, one of the very few items we consistently stock in the store - and now they come in gorgeous new summer tones!!! Slip one on, grab a set of these stunning copper mixing and serving bowls and get ready to whip up some of your favorite summer recipes! An easy way to impress your friends? Gather up some ingredients and make your very own rub or spice blend in a hand carved mortar and pestle - it’s sure to impress!!! If you’re following us on Instagram (and we hope you are!) check out todays stories for one of our favorite rub recipes featured in one of the fun cookbooks we have here at the shop!

Last month in our Father’s Day email blast, we introduced you to Christina of House of Quail! Her handmade charcuterie and serving boards are absolute showstoppers at any gathering! We have a limited stock available, including these dreamy pizza peels!! Picture this.. you’re serving up a handmade pizza - on a handmade pizza peel! Yes please! Sorry you didn’t get to meet the artist herself last weekend - she was out with covid, but great news! She has rebooked for August 20th, and she will be here in person with more lovely products to shop!

Another easy way to step up your entertaining game this Summer.. vibrant table settings!! We have a limited stock of these hand-printed placemats, napkins, and more! In some seriously fun colors and patterns! Mix and match to achieve the perfect look! Peep that new marble charcuterie board with the glass lid! Keep the flies away while you sip that rosé! Got a summer wedding to go to? Our marble boards and copper glasses make great gifts for any newlywed couple!

Speaking of things you absolutely need this summer.. There are a few things we won’t leave the house without when we’re ready to hit the beach! We’ve got tons of baskets of all shapes and sizes, they’re just as cute as they are convenient! Perfect for storage, taking to farmers markets, or packing up for the beach! Here’s what we’ve got in our beach baskets!

If you’ve been following us for a while now, you know how obsessed we are with Turkish Towels! Lightweight, super absorbent, easy to stash in any bag or basket, and we have all new colors available just in time for the summer months! We’re also grabbing our favorite handmade Domino Set (snag one here today!), fun for the whole family! Make sure to bring an apron - our vintage Denim Aprons are perfect for a day of barbecuing and drinks by the water!

Molly’s Tip: Freeze some oversized ice cubes a day or two before you head to your destination! Fill up a ziplock baggie and stash them in your cooler for a quick cooldown! They’ll keep your drinks cool all day long!

They won’t fit in a basket… But these amazing foldable chairs are the perfect way to lounge at the beach, the pool, or pack them up and take them with you to your favorite outdoor entertaining space (Hello summer concerts!) For added comfort for your outdoor lounging, we have a limited stock of outdoor sunbathing cushions! They have the perfect pop of color and add beachy resort vibes to any outdoor space!

We hope everybody has an amazing, fun, and safe 4th of July weekend filled with friends and family! Whatever your plans are this weekend, and the rest of the summer months - we hope you’ll come see us and check out some of the amazing summer products we have in stock!
