…always seems to happen when you’re at spruce. selena mcadams and meg kerr make it such a friendly, accessible place, and it’s chock-full of yummy things. a beautiful lacquered etagere – special ordered for one of selena’s lovely clients – had been damaged in shipping, and i was only too happy to have the excuse to buzz over and make repairs. while i was working (and soaking in all of the fab sights and scents) mary seay taylor – who, along with mimi danosky creates brave design – happened in with some of their newest pieces:
her jewelry is as charming, beautiful and fun as she is! (is it possible for something to be totally elegant and wildly funky at the same time?) it was a huge treat to meet her. brave’s things are a perfect fit in the mix at spruce. if you are in memphis, stop by and see/enjoy/devour.
(one of these cute jack-a-lope trophies came home with me…a birthday surprise for my meg. she’s been coveting one to hang her necklaces on. please don’t tell!)
the “locally-grown” mindset applies to more than just produce, don’t you think?…we should have that same attitude toward all our excellent & unique hometown businesses. to me, spruce is the place for fresh finds that (unlike those yummy ripley tomatoes i can’t wait to get at the memphis farmer’s market this weekend) don’t have an expiration date.
