    First Pick Profiles Westerly Handmade Shoes

    August 18, 2017

    First Pick Profiles Element Botanicals

    August 15, 2017
    When we started thinking about doing our First Pick Handmade Market, we knew we wanted it to have the atmosphere of a boutique department store, which meant not only carrying clothing lines, but also skin care. Naturally, we wanted to keep things as natural as possible, so Element Botanicals was the perfect fit. Wildcrafted and handmade in...

    First Pick Profiles Le Fil Rouge Textiles

    August 8, 2017
    We have a lot of clothing, but it seems the easier something is to wear, the more apt we are to reach for it time and time again. This non-seasonal, dress up/dress down ethic perfectly describes Ellen Walde’s collection Le Fil Rouge Textiles. We love her kimono style robes, which double as jackets, and her...
