What A Steel

Factory Baskets - Small $85  Large $115     

Driftwood - Prices Vary 

It's not a crime to love these wonderful steel baskets with wood handles.  Place them on a hearth filled with firewood and you'll wish you could nab a couple more.  We fill them with driftwood and they become awesome arrangements on our display tables.  Roll up some magazines or stack some books in them and you've solved another decorating mystery.  They come in two sizes, are incredibly heavy duty, and can stand up to your close inspection - case closed.





And don't forget:
Winnow is having an open house/reception on March 12 from 4:00 to 7:00 for DUET artists Stephanie Cunningham and Betty Haight.  You will love their work!

Mirror Mirror




Copper-framed Mirror  $175

 

We're not saying you'll be the fairest of them all but this wonderful copper clad framed mirror will make your home fairer by far.  A small 18 inches square this mirror would be perfect in a small entry, an accent piece in a grouping, or even as a series of several hung together.  The copper molds into every curve of the frame and the frame has a handsome deep profile.  We think this mirror will temper the witch and find the Snow White in all of us.  A "must-see" in the shop!


Also, up next on our blog - your invitation to our upcoming artists reception on March 12.  Save the date!

Kissing Frogs

Prices vary  $10 - $100

We love frogs!  We picture them as useful works of art.  They don't have to just hold beautiful stems, we see them holding pens and pencils on a cluttered desk or maybe just a simple pencil holder and paper weight by the phone.  They have a lots of uses that we haven't even thought of yet.  These charming "princes" are all vintage frogs we kissed at our favorite flea markets.  Something about them spoke to us even when they were in a pond with other frogs.  We just saw a prince in each one of them.  Drop by Winnow and kiss one of these for yourself - or for that lonely princess who needs a prince charming.  She will love you for it.  
Please note: these are one-of-a-kind and we cannot guarantee what we will have in the shop at any one time....but we will have something you'll like!

Rare Bauer Two-Tone Glaze - Beautiful! 



It's A Berry Good Thing



Raspberry $12    Strawberry $20    Plum $24


Aren't these just the best!?!?  These amazing little porcelain berry baskets will simply make you smile.  We love to find everyday useful objects that have been made into something wonderful, and our berry baskets are a perfect example.  The small raspberry tub is just the right size for serving this season's fresh raspberries or blueberries on your lunch or breakfast table.  The midsize open weave basket is a white porcelain relica of the green plastic basket that comes with your favorite strawberries, so recycle the plastic and use a permanent and beautiful container that will work for both storing and serving.  The large basket with open corners is ideal for plums, cherries, and all of the smaller stone fruits that are just starting to come into season - very cool!  These are year round delights and will be a hit on any table.  Each traditional basket detail is copied in clean white porcelain.  Come in and take a flat or two home.  It's a Berry Good Thing! (sorry Martha!)

Divine Romance





handmade cards from Salmonberry Studio  $6

LOVE is in the air - everywhere!  It's that time when chocolates, roses, candy, and champagne say just about everything romantic that you want them to say - but if you want to say a little bit more, express your love on our Salmonberry block print cards.  What a perfect way to say "Be Mine" or "I Love You".  Write out your feelings on a couple of these and tuck one under the pillow or in that perfect spot where he or she will find it and be surpised.   We also have lots of little "I Love You" gifts all over the shop that would go perfectly with one of the cards - maybe  a pair of our angel candle wings or perhaps one of our white porcelain feathers will tickle their fancy - and we all like our fancy tickled! No matter what, you'll want to say..."Be My Valentine!" 



La Plume de Ma Tante

I'm A Little Teapot

So, is there a better way to have a tea party with your daughter than with this delightful crochet tea set?  Truly a short and stout tea pot never shouted to you so clearly as this one will. And when you tip it over you can pour it out into two little matching tea cups and saucers. This is truly one of the sweetest sets we have seen and you can get all steamed up like we did when we saw it.  We even have some crochet cupcakes to create a total afternoon tea.  What fun!

3 Piece Tea Set   $45

A Potter with more magic than JK Rowling could write about



Prices range from $24 to $48



This is our friend Judy Jackson and while she's not a witch, she can make more magic than the "other Potter".  We fall under their spell every time we get an order of her "bottles".  They're not alive but we swear when they are grouped together they take on personalities and individually they will charm anyone as a gift.  We love everything about these vases - the glazes, the colors, the shapes and sizes.  The bottles come in all sizes but we always have what Judy calls tiny, small, and tall.  Come in to the shop and be spellbound. 

What's Your Bag?

Some people say we have a bag fetish!  They may be right but we just can't help ourselves!

Dash & Albert Rug Bag   $58

Our Dash & Albert cotton bags are so soft and yet so durable and hold just about everything including the kitchen sink - seriously these are great bags for toting.  They come in multi-color stripes and with their durable leather handles and bottoms they may just become your favorite carry-all, all year long! 






And did we mention our felt bags?  These purses are made locally from industrial grade wool felt and also have leather handles and bottoms.  Dress them up or kick around casual you will love these purses.  They are a great size and feature a snap closure and two inside pockets.  Some natural and some colorful, Graf and Lantz has outdone themselves in designing these bags.  




Graf & Lantz Felt Bags 


And don't be caught in the checkout line without our "Recycler" from Italy!  The perfect size to hold all of your groceries from those nasty liter plastic bottles to garden fresh veggies. Natural beige cotton with "Recycler" written in different languages it all translates to good practce - what's good for the planet is good for Winnow!




Italian Recycler Bags 













We have more bags but we don't we don't want to spoil the experience of coming into the shop - that's where you'll find your bag too!

Au Pear a Day

Ceramic Pear  $32

According to Wikopedia, au pair comes from the French meaning "on a par" or "equal to" -  Well, according to Winnow we think these pears are equal or better than any you will see. These delightful hand thrown clay pears are from a wonderfully wacky Canadian artist named Marie-Joel.  Each hand made pear has unique designs pressed, etched, or scribed onto the surface and are all very textural.  At the top of each one is a small hole for the "stem"  of your choosing (we use branches found right outside the shop).  These are perfect hostess gifts and we are certain that we can find research that says "A pear a day...." (By the way we have some of her apples too!) - We think you will want to make these pears a part of your family along with your au pair!
