Seven Smooches Goodies



At the Bubble trade show, after I'd chatted with the Seven Smooches girls — Jennifer and Stacy — in their booth for a bit, they asked me to swing by on my way out because they had a little something for me — a little something to say thanks for some advice I had shared last fall. How sweet! thought I, and admired their thoughtfulness.

Well. The "little something" turned out to be gift boxes piled on gift boxes with something special for me and for each of my children. Here's a little show-and-tell of the generous gorgeousness. And in true Seven Smooches style, every item is handmade from upcycled materials and is completely one-of-a-kind.



A shrug for the girls. It looks like a cute stripey scarf coming out of the box, but has sleeves to really warm you.



A shrug for me too. In the softest grey cashmere. With oversize buttons and hand-stitching on the edges. Just because. I have worn this everyday since I opened the box. It looks great and is the perfect weight for a Spring layer.


Another cozy sweater for the girls. In a nubby green weave.



A red, embroidered pullover for Betty. She kept staring at her tummy in wonder when she put this on.


For Oscar, a hand-pieced cardigan, that Olive kindly modeled when Oscar wasn't available.


For Ralph, a hat and glove set in boyish stripes. He hasn't taken them off since I brought them home.


And two cashmere doves. Filled with fragrant lavender. To scent my drawer of unmentionables. (I suppose one could say the doves are a gift for Ben Blair.)

Jennifer and Stacy, these gifts are completely over-the-top wonderful. The whole family feels absolutely spoiled. Thank you.
