wristwarmers from katie mawson!

last week's temps in the 90's weren't exactly autumnal, but it is officially fall according to the calendar. that means we at least get to dream about cozy accessories, and katie mawson's wristwarmers are a perennial favorite!

all of katie's wares are handmade in northern england from

super-soft felted lambswool. these are perfect for when it's

chilly but you still need your fingers.

(hello, iphone users!)

we blew through these last year, so make sure you get a pair before they're gone!

fluf bags rolling in the door...

lately we've been noticing that so many of our favorite goods are made by our friends up north in canada, and fluf is no exception! hailing from toronto, nathalie and terra started fluf in 2005 with a focus on pillows. then they started designing their own textiles, and now fluf's fabrics are hand-printed (locally) on chemical-free hemp and organic cotton, all using water-based, biodegradable dyes. we picked up a few different bags at the gift show, and they landed at o'suz last week!

these little totes reverse perfectly and are

great for daily use, your lunch, your knitting, etc.

we snagged a few of the larger totes like the one above,

also reversible and in lovely colors.

the newest addition to fluf's line are these little

lunch bags, made responsibly in china.

featuring bold graphics that appeal to peeps both big and small,

the bags come with a detachable plastic liner that's easily washed

and keeps any spills from leaking onto (or out of!) the bag.

we've already sold out of one style of the lunch bag,

so come check them out before they're all gone!

o'suz welcomes pistachio press!

colorable masks, just in time for that october holiday we so love at o'suz!!
