Wednesday, June 22nd is the, whew.. official last day of school. You see, in case you don't live nearby, our shop is situated right across the street from the Baldwin Elementary School and playground. What better way to break free than with a good old fashioned ice cream social. Come one, and all, we are thrilled to be hosting honeycomb creamery once again as they continue to wow us with their delicious small batch ice cream. Seriously tasty flavors will be scooped into cones and cups. Wildly excited last-day-of-school kids, relieved parents, and sprinkles will be on hand. It's running 3:00-4:30pm. Bring your wallet--pints for sale too. 

AND in case you didn't know, Kristen and Rory -the founders of HC-are opening a storefront just down the block at 1702 Mass. Ave.  They're shooting for a July release date so let's all wish them well on this next chapter in their small biz, small batch lives!

AND AND: The summer fun continues at Pod June 22nd-25th with summery Pop-Up selections on hand from Lisa B. (cotton espadrilles) and Matta (silk and cotton frocks)

It is with the heaviest heart that we announce the passing of our beloved shop-dog Tulip. She was a working dog at heart and began her time with us at the young age of 12 weeks. Adopted from Angell Memorial, she was a stellar example of just how wonderful pound puppies are and as a pit-bull mix, she clearly exhibited just how wrongly these dogs can be characterized. She was love--100%. She greeted, held back, read your body language, and in the end, the girl could work a room. She loved babies, but quickly learned what was most to love was their stroller and in particular, the undercarriage, where the detritus of snacking lies. She was no dummy. The warmer months were her favorite. Why? Well, your un-clothed legs and toes were deliciously salty and maybe, just maybe, you used a lotion that was particularly tasty. To all of our delivery men and letter carriers over the years, a huge thank you, from Tulip, for wearing shorts.

Ultimately, we were lucky. So very lucky to have her with us for twelve years. She was our 'love face girl in the world'. Her energy delighted, soothed and consoled many.  If she ever teased you with her ball or bone, please know she liked you. Her uncle aptly labeled her 'imperious'. She was opinionated, bossy at times, and could throw a timely side-eye a mile long ( no kidding. it was rather amazing) Her chortle, loud snore, and 'woo, woo, woo'-ing communications were glorious, famous, and in essence, Tulip was a rockstar.  There is no doubt.

We loved her deeply.

Super excited to let you all know about our up-coming event Everything Underthings. Co-hosted by us, Pod and the fabulous Covet + Lou (Tina Burgos), this two day pop-up will feature a collection of modern basics and loungewear by both veteran and emerging designers including Base Range, Pansy, Erica Tanov, Sula, Hansel from Basel, Brook There and more. 
Underpinning the event is the notion of women’s foundations: both the literal garments that will be featured at the  pop-up and the physical supports that help women build thriving lives. In keeping with that notion, a portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to Rosie’s Place, the Boston-based women’s shelter that provides meals, housing, education, and support to women. Since 1974, Rosie’s Place has been helping women fortify their foundations, in all senses.
Listen, we all could use a new set of bra and d'wear so be sure to come by. Plus, it's for a great cause! Lock it in: Friday May 20th and Saturday May 21st at Pod.
