Perhaps It Was Simply Too Hard To Spell

From Miette

We're sad to say good-bye to one of our very favorite Dutch licorices: the sweet, molassesy, sugar-coated Heksenhijl Zoete*, fondly referred to as "the tubes" by all of us non-Dutch-speakers. They have been discontinued.

Local confectioners, drop your caramels & lollipops and get started on artisan licorice! Kisses & cupcakes to the first person to replicate our beloved tubes! Of course, the price for handmade licorice will probably be a bit (a lot) higher than $12.50/lb, but we'll make it work.

*On my orders, I regularly spelled this "Hehjksnhihjl" or "Hekzjhenhyzhl", basically cramming in as many h's & j's as possible, but John our darling Licorice-seller always knew exactly what I meant.

School!

It's been....let's just say several years since I've experienced Back-to-School time in all its terror & glory, but as soon as September hits I can feel it in the air. Back-to-school! New shoes! New books! New friends? Maybe!

Here at Miette we're celebrating this liminal time of year with apples, gingham, and primary colors. And candy, of course!

Apple cinnamon lollipops! After a long day of teaching, sometimes an apple just doesn't cut it. But a spicy hand-made apple lolli? That's better. $5 each

Milk chocolate sneakers! We'll buy them a size too big so they fit you all year. 75cents/each, $2/pair gift bag.

ABC Gummies! It's hard to take a good photo of gummies. But trust me, these are adorable, edible versions of those magnetic letters we all love to play with when we're hanging out in someone's kitchen. Untie that bow & spell something hilarious! $3/bag

From Miette

Milk Chocolate Crayons! Let's face it, you're going to eat your crayons anyway, so why not make them non-toxic and delicious. $1/each, $5/box

From Miette

Milk chocolate globes! If globes (& atlases?) had come in chocolate form, perhaps I wouldn't be so hopeless at geography. Perhaps. 10cents/each

Not a good enough reason to have a baby.... but almost.

From Miette

The onesies are back. I knew we sold onesies a few years ago, and figured they were pretty cute, but...can you see a onesie & not squeal? I cannot. These are especially cute, and I will probably buy one for every sweet little crumb I know.

From Miette

Luckily, babies don't read blogs, so this won't spoil the surprise.
