In the store: New Home Wares

Linens are lovely, but there's something so nice about filling your home with small treasures. From a luxurious soap to a bold throw pillow, it's the little touches that make your home truly yours. Here are a few of our favorite new home wares in the store for spring.

Cork Top Glass Jars (Large $38, Small $18, Bottle $20) / Moroccan Inspired Blue Glass Cups (13)
We love the idea of glass containers used to display natural treasures, like shells or dried flowers - or using them for a DIY terrarium. These Moroccan Inspired cups are perfect for tea or wine - and would look great as a sweet accent to a dinner setting.

Hand in Hand Sustainable Suds Soap ($12) / Hand in Hand Sustainable Suds Bath Salt ($25)
These Hand in Hand soaps are gorgeous products that support a great cause - donating soap to a child in need for every product purchased.

Color Pop Outdoor Circle Pillow ($140) / Yellow Ruffle Circle Pillow ($225) / Color Pop Trellis Outdoor Pillow ($110)
Add some color to your space with these delightful pillows. We love them on a plain white bed or couch in a color-filled house - or on patio furniture (they're weatherproof!)


Lucia Soap ($11) 
These yummy soaps are available in all kinds of lovely, innovative scents - like Wild Ginger & Fresh Fig, Goat Milk & Linseed, Mandarin & Tomato Flower and Bourbon Vanilla & White Tea. Plus, they're organic! They'd make a great gift - for yourself or someone else.

Sycamore Cutting Board ($125)




This gorgeous Sycamore Cutting Board is a generous size to accommodate all your cutting needs - and it's got a sturdy leather handle for hanging.

Whether you're gearing up for spring dinner parties, replacing your tired accessories with new, bright spring looks, or just in the mood for something special, stop by Wildflower to explore the possibilities of making your everyday home a special spot.

In the store: Hand Printed Summer Sleepwear

clockwise from top left: turquoise square night shirt - $53 / organic cotton blue flower night shirt - $88 / neem pj set (pants not pictured) - $60 / organic cotton night shirt with collar detail - $88 / gray and burgundy block night shirt - $53 / organic cotton blue flower robe - $93

Summer is in full swing, and there's really nothing more we could ask for on warm nights than these hand block printed nighties and PJs. Sheer and cool, with the gorgeous detail of artisan printing. 


Various techniques are used in the hand block printing process. One method, shown below of our Blithe Neem pajamas, involves carving a teak block and printing repeatedly over cotton or silk fabric. Each color is meticulously printed in a multitude of steps - the result is an exquisite, detailed intricacy of pattern.

Textile designer John Robshaw says of another hand block printing process, "It's so simple and natural. You touch a woodblock to wet clay and then to the fabric. After the clay dries, you dip the cloth into the indigo vat and the clay stays on. One dip gives the fabric a sky-blue color, two dips and it deepens to cobalt, three dips and its a saturated midnight blue. Then the fabric is laid out to dry in the sun and later the clay is washed off. The dyer says the indigo vats are like a mistress because they need constant attention. I was completely fascinated by the dyeing and printing processes, as well as how the finished product is used. Textiles become intimate companions in daily life, whether as a pillow, bedcover or sarong." 

The result is a florid, human creation. As opposed to a mechanical mass printing, hand block printing requires artisans to have a deep knowledge and perfection of the craft. We love that this sleepwear supports artisans that have been printing textiles for generations.
