There's little more exciting for us here on Canal Street than the day a shipment arrives, and we finally get to unpack all of the gorgeous bowls, baskets and accessories that we've been waiting to share with you! Of course, before we send these beauties off to their new homes, we find ourselves enjoying the time when our space is full of color; a rainbow reminder of all of the care and craft that goes into each collection. We've just unpacked our newest
selection of hand-woven baskets and bowls, and we hope they'll add as much happiness to your space as they have to ours:)

We've just gotten our largest collection of hand-woven, natural sisal baskets, and we're thrilled to be able to share them all with you! The perfect carry-all (or hide-it-all:) they work beautifully as indoor planters as well! So, whether you're toting tomatoes or stowing your towels, festooning your ficus or cozying up your cactus, they'll add a vibrant, textured touch to any space.
|
|
We love to use the handled totes for beaching, shopping, & everything in between, and the baskets for both storage and display!

KEEPING YOU "POSTED"! // NEW RETURNS PORTAL + CANADA RETURN LABELS!
|

Some of you may have noticed that we have a new returns system up and running! For most of our customers, this will be very much like our previous system, but with some very exciting new functionality!
We are THRILLED to announce that we're now able to generate return labels for our Canadian friends through Canada Post! The cost of the return postage will be highlighted at checkout in the form of a handling fee (generally, $13.95 USD), and while we know you love your mail carriers, we hope that this will save you any extra trips to the post office:)
To our AUS and UK customers: We're working on setting up import accounts that will be competitively priced for you, as well. We'll keep you "posted":)

This month at Bleecker Street, we will be featuring the paintings and textiles of multimedia artist Valerie Deas, whose work and legacy we're honored to be carrying on. Having taught art professionally for over 25 years in public school classrooms and community workshops, Valerie's work explores dimensionality and color, drawing from the rhythms and lines of music and dance traditions. She explained: "My works explore what we reveal and what we conceal, what
we see in the people and the world around us." We look forward to having you join us at Bleecker Street to view her work in person, now through October 6th.

WHAT WE'RE READING // Autumn Song by Patrice Gopo
|
|
|
|
As we enter autumn, we couldn't think of a better reading recommendation than this collection of personal essays on absence by author Patrice Gopo. Exploring what we all leave behind us as we move forward through life and the sense of possibility and healing that comes along with examining that experience, Autumn Song is a beautifully written and thoughtful observation on the passage of time. (And, we just couldn't help but notice how
perfectly the author's book cover matches her Cosmos dress!)

WHO WE'RE LISTENING TO // Imarhan
|
|
|
|
Continuing our theme of Desert Blues, this self-titled album, Imarhan, is our latest favorite. The Algerian Tuareg blues quintet was formed in 2006, and their expansive network of global influences have created a musical style that is supremely original. We hope you'll love what you hear!
