There is a strategy where you need to use your thought to grip the tray, hinge at the hips and movement should only take place from your elbows to your finger tips. This is my second time taking a pottery class. Highly recommend and if you can get trained by Cindy, please do so. She's sweet, funny, charming and an awesome instructor.

Eight tacos plus guac came out to about $45, which feels steep for the portion size.

We shared a small order of chips and guac; more chips were brought to us shortly after without us asking. The chips were perfect and not greasy. We enjoyed the guac so much!

I saw a flier for Seeds to Sew International advertising a Mata Traders pop up when I was walking…read morearound Hopewell last week. It just so happens that I had heard of Mata Traders and was interested in the fair trade ethics of the company as well as their great dresses and skirts (love me some dresses and skirts with pockets). I stopped into Seeds to Sew International today and am so happy I did! As of April they have a storefront on Seminary Ave (they had been in the back of the store before, which isn't great for foot traffic). I talked to Nina, the Operations Manager, for a bit about the organization and the work they do in Kenya. Seeds to Sew International teaches participants to sew reusable gift bags- so much better than throwing out wrapping paper each holiday- and builds upon those skills so that eventually they are making items like wrap skirts. They also have a beading program and a crafting program, which both use the money earned to pay for girls' education in rural Kenya. I love that I was able to walk away with an item I loved (a skirt with pockets from the Mata Traders pop up) and feel good about where my money went. How often do the products we buy better the world around us? This is a great model that I wish more places would follow. The best part? They'll be having a new pop up each month! Best of luck- I can't wait to see what you do next!

Absolutely excellent. We needed a calligrapher to write the addresses on our wedding invitations,…read moreand the Princeton branch of The Papery recommended that we contact Therese at Bella Scrittura. When she came to meet us, we showed her our invitations and she offered to match our addressing text to the font on the invitations. The cards came out beautifully - people went out of their way to tell us the invitations were the nicest they'd ever received. We also used Bella Scrittura for placecard calligraphy. When we had last-minute additions to the guest list, Therese was able to get the last few placecards to us on time to deliver them to the venue. For each calligraphy project, she sent us proofs to approve before she went ahead with the rest. She was careful to double-check the names on guest lists before putting ink down on the final products. Helpful, friendly, responsive, fast and talented - can't recommend enough!
