Plum bounty 
The summer weeks can be counted off by the order that plants come in, and we have already eaten its first juicy blackberries. That means that it's time to kick into overdrive, and make sure to get all the good times in while the days mellow and slowly get shorter. I have been hard at work in the store, alternating construction projects with frenetic bouts of sewing. This summer is all about mutated circus band uniforms crossed with understated urban basics! Check out the upcoming schedule of events. Write them down on a scrap of paper and slip it into your shoe. Then go hop a fence and find out what's on the other side! <3 R.
