Right: The Ella Blouse from Yolotli is a unique and comfortable handmade piece. This soft, naturally vat-dyed Ahimsa silk blouse features a hand-embroidered heart.

Left: Meyer LEMONPOP aperitif from Mommenpop is a limited edition, seasonal spring release made with single-harvest California Meyer Lemons. Exactly the kind of beverage you’ll want to drink on a warm evening in a lush garden. Blissfully scented with subtly sweet floral musk, a burst of Meyer lemon peel meets the beautiful, fresh herb: tarragon. Delicious poured with an extra large ice cube, or mixed with gin or vodka in one of your favorite classic cocktails.
Right: The 2021 ROSÉ from Aesop Wines is carefully made by hand from 100% Sangiovese grapes using minimal intervention techniques. Made in very small quantities for the spring and summer seasons ahead, this is a wonderful dry wine to keep on hand, chilled, for whenever the moment strikes you: with antipasti, cheeses, picnic lunches, light meals of fish or fowl or simply sometimes as the refreshing reset button after a long day.
Left: Handmade Magnolia fragrant fizz tablets from elizabethW are indulgently fun. Fill a tub with warm water and as you soak, drop in a tablet and watch it fizz. As the water softens, relax, ease tired muscles, and enjoy the sparkles. Packaged perfect for gift giving in a clear box with pink foils.
