03Letter

From the shop floor

Shelves of folded cream clothing, shoes and small objects beside a rail of linen shirts.
The front table, a Tuesday at 9:40.

Dear neighbors,

The first frost came early this year, and so did the wool. This issue is mostly sweaters, candles and the people who make them, which is how autumn ought to be.

Nine years ago I took the keys to the old Larkspur Mercantile with a borrowed ladder and one box of mugs from Dana's kiln. Most of what's on the shelves still comes from within forty miles of this door, so when you buy a board from Gus or a notebook from Theo, the money stays in the valley.

Come in, even if it's only to warm your hands. Fig will meet you at the door.

Owner, and the one behind the counter

Wheel-thrown stoneware

Ash Creek Pottery

Dana Whitlock · County Road 14, nine miles north

Dana digs part of her clay from the creek bank behind her studio and fires a wood kiln twice a year. The speckles in her oatmeal glaze are iron from that same creek.

If a mug sits wrong in your hand, it goes back in the slop bucket.

Overheard at the register

We came up for the leaves and spent two hours in here. Left with a blanket, three mugs and a very happy dog.

  • Nell remembered my mother's sweater size from last Christmas. That's the whole review.

    Mark T. Two blocks away

  • Candle night was the best forty-five dollars I spent all year. Mine smells of cedar and slightly of my own mistakes.

    Jo A. Cold Spring

  • Every gift I gave last year came from Hollis Row, and every one got the same question. Where did you find this?
