Inspiration

Last week we were inspired by our co-worker Jayson's vintage wool sweater. Turns out it was made right here in Portland, Oregon at Dehen Knitting Company! When we investigated further we learned more about Dehen – an amazing company with a rich history of providing authentic knit goods, and we felt a kinship to their commitment to quality and craft.

From their site: Dehen persevered and continues to provide crafted product, still made in Portland, Oregon, often on machines that are older than the people that operate them.

Machines that are older than the people that operate them??! That sounds familiar!

We were out and about the other day looking at Spring inspiration for new wedding designs (stay tuned!). We landed at Ink and Peat on N. Williams Ave. - a lovely store in our hometown of Portland, Or. In addition to getting excited about beautiful flowers, colors and patterns, we couldn’t resist bringing home this little duo – a sweet “just because” or hostess gift we thought. The washcloth (by Yoshii Towel) has a terry loop texture on one side and a smooth woven stripe on the other. We love the packaging on this organic soap from Crane+Wilton in Philadelphia.
