Our wishes have come true - we've moved! Please join us to celebrate the grand opening of our new location on August 15th from 6PM to 10PM . Our new space on NW Lovejoy is bigger and brighter than the old shop, which means we are able to show larger pieces of furniture, a wall of Marimekko fabric for made-to-order items, as well as our constantly changing collection of tabletop, home accessories and jewelry. All cleverly mixed with innovative interior services and custom registries. We will continue to focus on handcrafted, nature-based, emerging design found only by traveling the globe.

Happy Birthday Ecru!
by pearlgirl
LeAnn Dolan is celebrating a very special birthday— Ecru Modern Stationer turns two!!! She's hosting a celebration 10–7pm today, so stop in and enjoy tasty treats, cool eats and 20% off all purchases. If you haven't been in Ecru lately, they have received all of their new product from the New York stationery show. If you're a paperphile, you'll love her new cards, journals and other goods, but the best thing about Ecru is LeAnn herself!!! (Hubby Ray is also very cool—it's a treat to experience them together!) Happy Birthday!!!
