Her name is Maya. She grew up in a city (San Francisco), and now lives in the country with her husband and their two children. Through her blog we’ve been following her in the restoration and conversion of her mother’s amazing barn. We love the inspiring things she creates and are honored to have in our shop her burlap coffee buckets. Salvaged from fair-trade coffee sacks each bucket is as unique as the sack it came from. Check out what buckets are still available in our shop.
p.s. a new shipment of Maya*made’s buckets will be coming soon…
ready-set-go!

We love Yonah Shimmel Knishery. Yonah started from a pushcart selling his wife’s homemade knishes from a pushcart on the Lower East Side before opening the store on Houston Street in 1910. Potato goodness especially with a little mustard.

Last weekend Three Potato Four headed to Brooklyn to participate in the Dumbo Winter Pop Up Market. Stu went solo this time and had lots of help once again from all our good friends in Brooklyn.
This week we are preparing for a big update to the shop so check back to see what’s been added to the shop on Monday.

One of my favorite things when I worked as a graphic designer is the beautiful paper samples and type catalogs I would receive in the mail. This incredible gem I discovered on grainedit (one of our favorite blog reads), it’s a promotional piece from 1966 for a new paper produced by Simpson Lee paper company.
