Something New…But Also Something Old…

Something New…But Also Something Old…

Posted by Sasha Stone on

One of my favorite parts of the day-to-day at a refill shop is getting to see the unique containers you bring in to fill. I’ve seen it all from behind the sales counter, from Deodorant Cream in a teaspoon scoop (yes, you read that correctly), to a Kikkoman Soy Sauce bottle of Castile Soap, and so many beautiful repurposed candle jars. 

 

The lovely and creative containers you bring have inspired our newest project, Vintage Vessels! 

 

We now offer an in-store selection of vintage jars, bottles, salt shakers (great for dry shampoo) and more, curated by our friend Sami at Sandhill Goods. One week you may find a whimsical vessel designed to look like a teapot house and the next week a collection of 60’s ceramic cookie jars. Visit us in-store to view this ever-changing selection and keep reading to learn more about Sandhill Goods.

 

Since 2021, Sandhill Goods has sought to bring new life to secondhand modern and vintage clothing and home goods by rehoming them with people who value shopping slowly, intentionally, and sustainably. High-quality pieces that will last a lifetime are already out there waiting to be rediscovered. 

 

Sandhill Goods centers on the importance of collective action and how small choices can benefit the greater community. Sure, supporting slow fashion & buying secondhand won’t save the world on its own. But it’s a small piece of a greater puzzle that communicates our care for more than just ourselves - nothing, and no one, is disposable.
