Founder's Corner

Happy Friday!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did a smoked turkey this year that came out amazing, as captured in this ridiculous video I shared on our IG. 

We're continuing to see an incredible response to our Pay What You Can offer, and it's been so uplifting for us to read all of your Thank You's and beautiful responses when we approve your orders.

We've still got a long way to go to survive the small business apocalypse that's happening all around us, but every success story begins one single step at a time.

If you've already taken advantage of our sale, it would mean the world if you could share your happiness online. 

And, this is a big one: If you see one of our ads or posts in your social feed, it helps us so much if you leave a positive comment on the post. 

We're all understandably skeptical of ads these days, especially with a "too good to be true?" offer like ours - so even a single comment that lets people know we're the real deal makes a world of difference in helping us reach more people when it matters most.

 If you haven't done your holiday shopping yet, we're here for you - make a Pay What You Can offer today on all the products you love, and we'll do everything we can to make your dreams come true.

- Seth & Heather

Product News

BRAND NEW Kitchen Towel Designs!

We just stocked some of our new limited-edition Winter & Holiday Dish Towels in the shop for immediate shipping. We only have a small supply of these, so grab them now before they sell out.

More preorder designs arrive next week, including our 2 beautiful new State designs (Colorado & California), along with a restock of many bestsellers that sold out immediately. 

We also just added 7 BRAND NEW designs that will ship in January. We went all out on the new designs, and we've got something beautiful for every kitchen decor, from coastal oyster vibes, to chickens, trout, honey bees & tulips. And Texas too!

From Our Table To Yours

Sheet Pan Chicken Tikka

If you’re looking for a perfect weeknight meal, this Smitten Kitchen recipe hits the sweet spot.

The entire meal roasts together on one tray, so you’re done with cleanup in one go. 

The end result is something that tastes like it took hours to make, but comes together beautifully with just a little bit of prep.

What We're Listening To

Good Hang with Amy Poehler

If you’re looking for a new podcast to listen to, I highly recommend checking out Good Hang with Amy Poehler.

It’s my new favorite thing to listen to when I need a good laugh or a quick burst of joy.

Each episode brings on guests (often fellow comedians & actors) to hang out, share hilarious stories, and talk about what’s making them laugh lately.

Quote of the Week

Love and kindness are a form of resistance.

- David Byrne
