new stuff!

2009-02-26T13:42:00.000-08:00

Hey All~

Hope you are enjoying the small bursts of sun we are getting today. My parents labradoodle Jack is staying with us for the next two weeks, forcing me out of my cozy cave and into the freezing temps. I realized today, after three days of early morning walks, that I actually do enjoy being pulled along the side walk at double my normal pace. It was only when he jumped up on my new Poles sweater that we began to have some issues!

Which leads me to the news that Tehen&Poles have arrived for spring! And if you are like any of us hoarders at M&L then you might also store these beautiful knits in pretty little sweater bags with lavender sashes cradled in between each layer. Once a year we look forward to replenishing our collection and replacing those pieces that have been loved to the point of no return. well, my friens, now is the time~

time to travel

2009-02-10T13:31:00.000-08:00

It normally seems to be in February that the general malaise and all out cabin fever start to take hold.

Travel begins to sound even more inviting as the snow comes down around us, and all we see in stores are pretty little spring frocks. Lets not forget that California, Mexico and perhaps even Hawaii are now cheaper than ever to get to.

So, I say bon voyage!

Valentines Approaching

2009-02-06T12:22:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to remind, Valentines is fast approaching!

what I love about this holiday is not the hallmark cards, or the pink and red roses, but the excuse to put on a pretty little outfit and go out with the people you love.

Sweet Sweet Sula

wishing for more whish

2009-02-06T11:48:00.000-08:00

Last night, just before closing, our fantastic UPS man Jeffrey brought us the perfect little package. Inside were two perfectly pretty things from Whish. This deep navy blue washed silk dress/jacket was one of them, and the darling little plaid dress the other. Only catch, they are so well priced that they are going to be running right back out the door.
