There will be an industrial swamp cooler, cold drinks (sans alcohol), popsicles while supplies last, music and special sales.  Come cool off and enjoy the store with us before it’s gone. 

JULY 20th Wilted Wednesday has been cancelled.

N E W Artist Kim Kei, “Mended Vignette” series

One can get lost in these bite sized compositions. Kim uses a variety of inks, watercolors and acrylics and often hardware store paint chips to create small paintings that are then cut into strips and reassembled. These remind me of Josh Olivera’s work that was here until just recently but on a smaller scale; the interaction of different materials and process of building up a painting that creates landscape-like forms or captures stormy skies.   

N E W handwoven pure linen bath towels from Denizli, Turkey. Most definitely not local but they come from a small family business that has been making them for the past three generations. A beautiful textile that gets softer over time. Use to dry off after swimming, wrap up against the chilly desert night or throw over the grass for a picnic. 

Here are some of the projects from the terrarium/miniature garden workshop yesterday. The perfect rainy day activity!

TERRARIUM WORKSHOP • APRIL 9, 2011 • 1:00 PM - 3:00PM

Create your own little corner of the world. We will provide the basics and have many other goodies available for purchase including containers, plants (african violets and others), and terra cotta accessories by Debra Louise. Please contact us to reserve your spot. I hope to hear from you. 

YARD SALE • SATURDAY, MARCH 19TH • 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM

It’s spring cleaning time! The businesses in the Tophoy Building* will be having a group yard sale. We’ll be set up in the parking lot behind the building off of Hoff Ave between 8th and 9th streets. Stop by and hopefully you’ll find something you’ve always wanted or needed. See you there! 

* Historic Tophoy Building businesses include Arroyo Design, Mi Corazon, tel•e•gram, The Book Stop and Preen. 

NEW little plants in glass and ceramic containers. They may help you get over the plants you lost during the recent bitter cold snap.  Please stay tuned for details on an assemble-your-own terrarium class in April.

Prehistoric gouache and ink illustrations on paper by Amy Shapiro Allen.  Amy will be taking her talents to Brooklyn so help her load her Metro card by hanging one of these at your house.  An affordable memento from one of Tucson’s jill of all trades.  

NEW shiny sterling silver rings all shapes and sizes.  

About Reservoir Perfumes:
A small-batch perfumery based out of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Reservoir produces bold and evocative scents. Raw materials are sourced internationally and each perfume is composed, matured, and crafted with care, over time. Reservoir likes abstraction and ideas, and tends towards the unusual.

Currently at tel•e•gram:

Paquita
A scent for winter nights. Nardo, a Spanish tuberose common on Las Ramblas, lends a smoky voluptuousness, and Mariposa, a flower native to Cuba, adds a lush green character. Clove and Cedarwood give spice, comfort. A warm heat under the collar of a thick coat.

Basil Muguet
A subtle and ambiguous floral. Pretty Lily-of-the-Valley is complicated by crisp Basil, softened by Rose, Champaca, and Tonka Bean. Not the flower itself, but rather a dusty etching of it. 

Rose Soap
An unusual variation on the loveliest of flowers. Ambrette Seed and Creosote give a powdery, airy feel. Frankincense, Jasmine, and Oak Moss create an incredibly rich dry-down. Begins clean and shy, and slowly envelops, darkening all the way.

tel•e•gram on holiday.

We’ll be back in the shop January 5th.  Hip-happity Holidays!
