New Packaging Pictures: Love Triangle

We're continuing to show off our new packaging photos.... I love how dark and gothic looking this one is for our Love Triangle lollipops. You can just see a glimpse of dark purple Sweetheart and a hint of the dark red Blood Sucker.

Delicious Things I Brew in Hot Water

Kate and I are notorious tea fiends. Almost every conversation we have is punctuated – repeatedly – by us taking turns saying, “I’ll be right back, I’m making MOAR TEA”.

orange teapot and rooibos tea

Recently I discovered a local business called Urban Tea that imports really good loose tea. We’re talking really good tea. So far I’m head over heels for Sencha Apple (a green tea) and Rooibos Garden (rooibos tea with lavender and coconut). I love to make them in the evenings. The Rooibos Garden in particular seems to gently pave the way from the waking hours to the sleeping hours. My little Stump Teapot is getting quite a workout!

Mixed Bag

We occasionally get requests for a unique mix of lollipops. For example, someone might want to try Pistachio-Marshmallow, Salted Caramel, and Maple Sugar lollipops. Those come in three different packs.

The Mixed Bag is what we'll use to fill those different orders. Our wonderful designer, Justine Kamionsky, put these pink labels together for our smaller, six-lollipop-holding bags.

Most of our candy is bagged ahead of time -- that's how we can ship it so fast -- but we do often have a couple of various flavors hanging around. When that happens, we're more than happy to put together a special mix. (Though we do require that you order 6 lollipops at a time.)

So if you've got a hankering for a couple of flavors that we don't normally put together, send us an email or Etsy convo and ask! We might be able to put together your own special collection.

Eye Candy: The Floor Scrapers

The Floor Scrapers by Gustave Caillebotte is one of my all-time favorite paintings. And it's at the deYoung in San Francisco until the end of the weekend!

New Packaging Pictures

Susan came down to the Bay Area for a long weekend awhile ago. We hung out with the amazing Kevin Keeker and took some new lollipop packaging photos. Like this one of the Breakfast Tray lollipops:

I love how warm and comforting the lollipops look. I could just eat them up!

Gourmetibles

Those of you who live north of New York City -- specifically, near Hopewell Jct, NY -- you can buy our lollipops at Gourmetibles. Stop by her shop, get a lollipop or three, and also try her delicious looking cookie-candy concoctions!
