Why we carry this
A love letter to author Andrea Pons’s native Mexico, this beautiful cookbook weaves stories of her family’s immigration to the U.S. with 75 delicious recipes from three generations of women in her family. Author and food stylist Andrea Pons started this Mamacita project in 2018 to document the recipes she grew up eating in Mexico, and she found it quickly became a way to reconnect with her family and Mexican heritage. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Andrea and her family found themselves navigating the U.S. immigration system in order to avoid deportation and to be able to stay in the country that had been their home for over twenty years, this book also became a rallying cry.

The Garbage Collection: Soda Can Vase
We created 3 different vases in the forms of discarded, single-use products with the intention of drawing attention to the waste we all produce. 10% of all sales from The Garbage Collection will be donated to help clean up ocean waste. Material: concrete w/ recycled glass Size: 3” w x 4.375” h Our concrete work is all individually hand cast from custom made rubber molds. Colors are integrally mixed into the concrete and results in each piece being unique. We use recycled materials and are able to create a finished product 30% lighter than traditional concrete (in our non-terrazzo pieces). Although the sealer is food grade and safe we don't recommend using these for direct food contact. Natural voids occur during casting and some pieces will have very small pin holes. Do not submerge in water. Wipe clean with mild soap and water.
Special Edition Moon Knife Set
Imagine, if you will, a pair of knives that have traveled further than most people's vacation photos. Hand-forged by blacksmiths in a remote Thai village - people who've been perfecting their craft since before we invented the internet - these blades arrived at your kitchen with centuries of culinary tradition tucked into their handles. The cleaver, all eleven inches of it, is a heavy-duty marvel of carbon steel that arrives sharp enough to make you question your previous knife choices. The French-style blade, slightly more refined at ten and three-quarters inches, handles everything from delicate herb work to ambitious meat preparation with the kind of confidence you wish you had at dinner parties. Both knives feature full tang construction, meaning they're essentially indestructible in the hands of someone who respects them (hand wash only - they're temperamental that way, like most things worth having). This special edition won't linger long, which is either thrilling or anxiety-inducing, depending on your relationship with limited-time offers.
Set of Three Dried Natural Banksia
Banksia hails from South Africa, and honestly, it's the kind of flower that makes you feel like you've got your life together just by having it around. Those enormous dried blooms and dramatically serrated leaves have been turning floral designers into devoted fans for years. Toss a bunch or two into a glass vase - or go rogue with a single stem if you're feeling minimalist. Pro tip: a Stone Frog keeps things from toppling over like my attempts at adulting. Each bunch contains three stems, and yes, they're gloriously imperfect. Nature doesn't do precision, and frankly, that's what makes it wonderful. Slight variations and the occasional breakage are just proof that this stuff is real.
Strawberry Tea Towel
This 19" by 19" tea towel is made from 100% natural cotton flour sack fabric and features strawberry imagery screen printed with water-based ink. Every towel passes through my studio where I personally print and cure it by hand, which inevitably means no two are exactly alike. Those little inconsistencies? They're not mistakes - they're evidence that something real happened here, that a person actually touched this thing.
