Cool stuff for coolish people.
STUFF WE LOVE…
Soft butter, always. No refrigeration required.
The butter keeper is an old idea that never stopped being a good one: a water seal between the crock and the lid keeps butter fresh on the countertop for days, perfectly spreadable and ready whenever you need it. This one is handmade by Three Plumes in Glow, a semi-matte bright cobalt blue with a painterly glaze that goes on thicker in some places, thinner in others. Every piece is a little different.
Pack a stick of room temperature butter into the lid, fill the crock halfway with water and a pinch of salt, and you're done.

We simply love the look, feel, and effect of this richly exfoliating tallow soap bar. At its heart, wild-harvested Mendocino coast bladderwrack lends powerful moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and age-defying properties, balanced with Northern Pacific leaves and flowers, green tea and a touch of aphrodisiac neroli for a nuanced natural bouquet.
Slow-made from the rendered fat of California pasture-raised cattle and blended with truly extra-virgin olive oil grown by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, this hydrating soap is mineral-rich, skin-softening, and deeply nourishing. A healthful, regenerative alternative to conventional vegetable oil–based soaps, Sea Change is both a cleansing ritual and a connection to the living waters of the Pacific coast.

Subtle spice drifts through amber and warm woods. Amber Hour is cozy yet sophisticated, a scent that feels both familiar and the fragrance of unwinding.

Middle notes: amberwood, plum, cinnamon bark, lily.
Base notes: oakmoss, cedar resin, fir, patchouli, sandalwood, raw sugar.

Simpy put, this scent is like being wrapped in a cashmere blanket with a touch of spice and a glass of red wine."
