I know it is probably boring to hear again how happy we are to have our shopping site up, but bear with me this last time! We’ve been really excited to see how people have been responding to it, and everyone has had great feedback so far. It’s been fun to see the orders coming in from across the country, both from friends and loyal customers.


We also had some press last weekend in our very own Chicago Tribune that we haven’t put on our press page yet. Check it out here:

If you have someone that you need to get a really luxurious gift for - maybe a special wedding present for your best friends, or a fantastic housewarming present for your sister’s home - this is the gift. It comes with a higher price tag, but it’s made of bamboo and organic cotton and is HUGE. Plus, throws are things that are both useful in cooler months, and can serve as décor year-round if you drape it over the arm of your sofa. Some of our favorite home gifts over the years have been throws, and we love them all (and we love the people who have given them to us - you know who you are!).


Of course, you can buy the ones mentioned in the Trib at Grasshopper 510: http://www.grasshopper510.com/department.asp?deptid=6780

Happy Halloween!
