lotta helleberg of inleaf

"A slender leaf, a wispy seed head, a fern frond ready to unfurl.
The simple beauty of nature is a constant inspiration for my work.
Leaves, bark, berries, and flowers provide dyes, paints, and images."

i so love when these delicious sachets are scattered about the shop!

i keep them in my car year round.
lots of colors and botanicals to choose from in the shop now!

rachel's wishlist

happy december, friends! we're gearing up for the holidays here at o'suz, and we wanted to share some of our favorite things, our own little wishlists. you may have noticed some new faces in the shop since we expanded, and today's list comes from rachel, who started with us just a few months ago after moving to charlottesville with her new husband. (congrats to the lovebirds!)

soap & paper factory roland pine candle
so many people have commented on how much this candle smells
exactly like the holidays at their childhood homes.

you know we love our katie mawson fingerless gloves!

several years back todd oldham started a campaign to bring attention
to the work of designer charley harper, and this beautiful book
remains a perennial fave around o'suz.

2012 is just around the corner, and the vintage-inspired botanical illustrations
of rifle paper co. will make the gray skies of january and february seem a little brighter.

photographs of this last item on rachel's wishlist can't do it justice.
made in israel from sterling silver that is woven together, this "hammock" necklace
by mora feels like super fine chain mail that moves as you move.

stay tuned for more wishlists in the coming weeks!

Beth mueller

raised in indiana, beth mueller now lives in Barre, Vermont, where she creates splendid hand-painted ceramic pieces. we have missed her pieces around o'suz and so, welcome her back open arms and open hearts. to get us back on track, we bought bunches of ornaments to help us ring in the season! they make great hostess, new home, first xmas married, and secret santa gifts. i have some that date back over 13 years, when i first discovered her lovelies in ny.

no shortage of kids winter and holiday goodies at o'suz!!!

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred,
and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit,
become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder
