We are so fortunate to have an amazing neighborhood market here in the NW section of DC where I live. The Broad Branch Market is that type of place where they always know what you want (not that we necessarily need it). Take for instance, the la Salamandra Dulce de Leche and Dulce de Leche con Chocolat. Do I need this decadent chocolate? No. But do I want it? Oh ya!

Wanting to do something to support St. Jude’s and the amazing work they do, Tracey came up with the idea of donating all the proceeds from the sales of our Hugs & Kisses Bracelet knitting kit to the hospital. I am incredibly touched that Tracey thought to use our product for such a worthy cause. Thanks Tracey. xoxo
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all.

I didn’t even know there were cashmere goats there. Not that I ever researched the topic. At any rate, it started with an email from one of the owners of our local yarn store here in DC –
