misosouper, a shopping blog

This is the cutest collection of organic baby clothes I have ever seen. I almost want to frame them. No wonder they can hardly keep anything in stock.

When I was a kid, we never had one of those lovely thick, yummy-smelling Christmas trees. Instead, my parents would just lop the top off of one of the norfolk pines in our yard. We’d load it up with lights and ornaments like everyone else, but it always had a bit of a Charlie Brown vibe to it. Time to make up for Christmases past… I’m getting one of these adorable baby pine trees for everyone in the family.

I was lured into a new San Francisco boutique called Lili Merveille last weekend by tales of French candies imported from Paris. But when I saw le pyjama de cow-boy I was smitten.  Merveilleux!

Facing facts:  I’m a bit of a floozy for modern, graphic textiles.  While the furniture in Casa Misosouper is low-slung, low-key mid-century modern, the pillows, upholstery, and fabrics explode in patterns of riotous color.  (Think I’m kidding?  Come over for a visit.)

Which is why I’m so stoked about this coupon code from Amenity Home; with fall20, take a 20% discount off your purchase (excluding the Muir Furniture Collection).  Mix and match windblown, organic pieces like the ginormous floor pillows, stretched hemp prints, and durable table linens, or fall in love with the new Arroyo tabletop collection, gorgeously crafted in chunky walnut.

Here’s what I’d choose:

1.  Birdseye 26×26 Hemp Pillow; 2.  Arroyo Salt and Pepper Block; 3.  Grass 12×20 Pillow; 4.  Trail Placemats; 5.  Woodland Squirrel Blanket; 6.  Cove Duvet Cover.

Located in the scenic town of Point Reyes Station, California, Coyuchi has been producing organic cotton linens since 1991. Point Reyes Station is renowned for it’s progressive organic farming, weekly farmer’s market visited by HRH Prince Charles himself as well as the home of the foodie’s favorite destination for cheese, Cowgirl Creamery.

Not only do Point Reyes locals love Coyuchi, many luxury hotels feature the 100% organic bedding. You’ll find the fair trade linens at hotels and resorts including: the Post Ranch Inn, Hana Maui Hotel, Terra Resorts, Colony Hotel and Hotel Triton. The Fairmont in San Francisco and Washington DC feature Coyuchi in their Lexus Hybrid Living Suites.

Coyuchi uses only 100% certified organic cotton in their linens and has been recognized with the United Nations Second Annual Fashion Industry Award for Environmental Excellence. Every fiber of cotton is produced in accordance set forth by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). Organic cotton is grown rotationally and alongside maize, sesame, sorghum and chiles intercropped with nitrogen-fixing plants such as lentils and chickpeas. Some of these plates serve as barriers and repel pests.

If you happen to be around Point Reyes tonight, stop by the Coyuchi store to learn more about their sustainable business and fair trade business and enjoy some champagne and organic hors d’oeuvres!
