Tonight is the official start of this years Ithaca Festival ! Here’s a peek at our new window celebrating the theme of the festival, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by William Shakespeare. We’ve been drooling over this dress for a while now, wouldn’t it be the perfect whimsical wedding dress for Hippolyta, Amazonian queen?

 

Be sure to stop in and say hi, we’ll be here all weekend and might have a few surprises up our sleeves!

As part of our continuing work with local apothecary, Roots Rose Radish, we’ve happily replenished our collection with fresh new products. These vintage inspired shells hold our bergamint lip balm! Adorable and easy to spot in a cluttered purse.

Another of our local favorites, Carrie George, is known for her inspiring up-cycling abilities; turning vintage leather pieces into wearable bags and earrings. This buttery soft blue number has both handles and a cross body strap, and is accented by four differently colored leather highlights!

We are so excited to introduce our new apothecary line with locally based Roots Rose Radish. Each product is made of 100% natural and organic ingredients.

Our lip balm comes in two enticing flavors, “bergamint” and luscious rose. It’s a steal at only $5!

The Carrot Rose face cream is non-greasy and light weight– the perfect replacement for chemical heavy moisturizers. Vitamin E and aloe vera make this batch extra nourishing. $30

The Calendula Geranium Body Butter is wildly soothing, with indulgent ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil, vitamin E and calendula oil. Geranium notes dominate the scent, which is strongly reminiscent of a Parisian macaroon fresh off the shelf at LaDurée. Yum! $25

Keep the men in your life groomed and gorgeous with our hand crafted beard oil. Sandalwood, rosemary oil and cedarwood work together to create smooth and strong facial hair. We think of this as a great alternative for anyone overwhelmed by cologne. $25

 

Come in and give them a try!

Handmade Dress

Beautiful Things, Made by Petrune

We love to give new life to vintage things! This dress is handmade from 100% vintage recycled materials, all the way down to the closures. It is made from 60’s dove grey silk shantung, and the beaded shoulders came from a 1960’s silk dress. It is a size 2. It would be great for a summer wedding- come in and check it out!
