We count Memorial Day weekend as the official start of summer (forget that solstice thing), so in our minds, the dog days are nipping at our heels! Or vice versa? To kick off those good summer vibes, we’re throwing a sale over in our Shop. We’re talking 20% off. You might want to check it out…
In the spirit of looking ahead, we’re planning for the glorious summer bounty that’s to come in the next 14 weeks (and rounded up some Shop favorites to help you show off the season’s best). Save the date for strawberries, corn, tomatoes—coming to a farmer’s market near you.
Consider this your summer spoiler alert.
