Heritage Leather for Tigertree exclusive!

We have been fans of the classic Heritage Leather mason bags for quite a while.  We love the classic white canvas look, but we thought, wouldn't it be great if they were more... Tigertree? 

Josh pulled some strings with the kind folks at Heritage and they are now making these colored bags exclusively for us! 
We are offering the bags in colored wool felt (mustard, olive and grey) and canvas (crimson, olive, and desert) in two different sizes for all your errand running and weekend trip needs.  Drop by the online store or pop into the shop this weekend to pick one up!

Flip Flaps!


People ask us all the time how we decide what to carry in the store.  In the case of Flip Flaps, the love affair started one very late night in the New York, New York arcade in Vegas.  Josh was trying to win a new phone or wii game when I noticed a tiny frog in the prize line up, soothingly bobbing his head back and forth.  I made Josh focus his efforts on winning this amazing find, but with no luck.  After spending way too much money, he decided that there might be a better way to go about getting a Flip Flap (as we later learned they were called.)
After a few months of searching and a lot of confusing emails, we were able to bring these treasures to Tigertree!  They are available for $12 which is a steal compared to the money we spent trying to win one! 
So what are they?  Please don't call them bobble heads!  They are solar powered animated friends.  They greet us us every morning when we walk in to the shop and quietly put themselves to sleep when they sun goes down.  They are waiting for you to bring them home and add a sense of happiness and wonder to your desk or windowsill.

Food Cart Food Court

Sorry for two food related posts in a row, but we wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out to The Food Cart Food Court at Wonderland on Sunday to hear a little bit about what is going on with the project and get some great food. 
Mike Beaumont put together this little gem in case you missed it.

Street Food


Josh and I love eating.  We especially love eating street food.  We have hosted Foodie Cart in front of the shop every Saturday afternoon for the past couple of months with the guise of helping another local business, but really we just wanted crepes at our disposal all afternoon.  Kenny and Misako were even kind enough to create a crepe just for Tigertree Saturdays- The Tigertree BLT (and E&C) (that's egg and cheese for those of you less versed in sandwich shorthand). 
They will be back in front of the store this Saturday afternoon.  You can track them @freshstreet on Twitter or at facebook/com/foodie.cart.

If one day of food cart goodness is not enough for you, on Sunday (October 17th), make sure to check out the Food Cart Food Court event from 4-7 p.m.  Come hang out in the Wonderland parking lot with the project's board and staff and get food from Foodie Cart, Three Babes and A Baker, Rad Dog, Veggielicious and DaLevee Express. 
Wonderland tees and candles (fresh baked bread scent!) will be available.  You can also pick up one of the tees anytime at Tigertree.  They are $20 and all proceeds benefit the project.

wolfe jacket

Every fall, the San Fransisco based line, She-Bible manages to make my new favorite piece of clothing.  We just got in the jacket that you will likely see me in every day until I have to break out the down-filled parkas for the February freeze. 


The Wolfe Jacket is 100% organic duck cloth that has been garment dyed so it is pre-shrunk and super soft.  The large scarf like piece at the top can be worn a million ways- as a hood, a scarf, a rouched neck piece..
Its insanely practical and stylish at the same time, which is what She-Bible does so well. 
The jacket is available now on the website and in the shop!
