New Pinned Butterflies
These babies are fluttering into the shop today. Lovingly pinned and mounted in vintage jars by a Jersey City artist.

Spring Flowers
I love spring flowers. And thank goodness Irina from IGLGARDEN loves me.
Irina, who also works at Antheia Floral Design, is kind enough to correct my black thumb and provide the shop with some lovely flowers and planters. Yay spring!

Around Town: Cinco de Mayo at Bar Majestic
Two years ago I had just finished moving all the new items into Kanibal Home in preparation of the shop's opening and I was washing the penny tile with a broken mop, sweating up a storm, while a massive party raged outside. Intoxicated people were wandering around, pressing their noses to the window, as I laboriously tried to remove layers of grime. Little did I know that the floor would never be clean. Well, clean-clean. It's because of how they used to grout the floor.
But that's another issue. The real story is about the party across the street. Bar Majestic does it up for Cinco de Mayo. I'm a fan of music + alcohol + outdoor tent and that's what those guys are all about. So if you're in the market for a good time this Cinco de Mayo, head on over to Grove Street on Thursday.

New Fragrance: Lucia Soap
It's no secret that customers love Lucia soap. Made with 100% Organic Shea Butter, this rich and creamy bar often sells out in the shop.
But I'm super excited try two new fragrances that were recently introduced: Bourbon Vanilla & White Tea Soap and Damask Rose & Cypress Soap.
And the packaging is as pretty as the scent combination.
