We have a lot to be proud of!  First, Substance has been featured in several national magazines, including Altered Couture (on newsstands now) and Threads.  Thanks to Betsy for all her hard work – she’s enjoying a little bit of celebrity.  And speaking of Betsy, she’ll be at the Eco-Chic Craftacular this weekend with a booth full of Design Lab goodies.  Be sure to stop by!

New in-store this week: piles of sundresses (have any weddings to go to?), easy silk and cotton camis, and drapey cotton tees by Julie Park.

We have lots of new arrivals!

Beyond our recent jewelry shipments from Acholi (check out that rainbow of beads), Lenora Dame, Leila and Kris Nations, Christina made a successful buying trip to New York City!  She came home brimming with a treasure trove of chunky, fun jewelry.

New in the clothing department: fair-trade ikat-print dresses and jackets from Mata Traders, bright plaid blouses from Finley, and khaki slacks by Avalin.  More colors in our Bohemian Stole arrived yesterday, and a box of the ever-popular 3-button wrap from Pure Handknits snuck in today.  We’re working to get those all up on our website soon!

We are excitedly awaiting more spring & summer deliveries, including a new eco line we’ve heard great things about –  Julie Park.  We’re keeping one eye out the window for delivery trucks, and we’ll be sure to post something overly excited on Facebook when it arrives.
