mi SPA at Modern Mouse!

Aaah, just reading about mi SPA’s product line makes us feel like we’re being pampered at the spa.

The line’s luxurious indulgence awakens the senses with its intoxicating Asian-inspired scents from sensuous sake to the aromatic tropical scents of dreamy coconut lemongrass and sweetly-refreshing Yuzu.

We’re talking the likes of green tea body lotion, asian pear perfume oil and some amazing looking bamboo charcoal soap! Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Can you smell it yet? We’re liking the fact that these yummy bath and body products also happen to be nutrient-rich, rice-based ingredients with no artificial coloring and natural-based preservatives that are used only as needed.

Mimie Wong is mi SPA’s founder and, we’re happy to report, an Alameda resident! We feel a zen-like harmony and rejuvenation at having her revitalizing products in our store. Thank you mi SPA, and welcome!

Periphery Designs at Modern Mouse!

The problem with finding all these fabulous designers is that, well, how are we gonna stop ourselves from taking all their amazing creations home with us?! As soon as we saw this pair of poppies earrings from Alameda’s own Periphery Designs, we were hooked. Then there’s the Water Lily Necklace, the All You Need Necklace, the Tiny Sparrow Stud Earrings…{swoon!}

Angela is the self-taught artist behind Periphery Designs and, on top of jewelry-making, also juggles grad school and nursing. How she manages to do all that and still produce such loveliness is a mystery, but there’s one thing we know for sure: we’re lucky little mice to have Periphery Designs at Modern Mouse! Thanks a billion, and welcome!

Papaver Vert at Modern Mouse!

We felt all warm and fuzzy (get it?) when Papaver Vert, home of beautiful hand felted home accessories, took us up on our invite to join the fun at Modern Mouse! Patty Benson is the talented maker behind Papaver Vert’s collection of good-enough-to-eat felted bowls, coasters, plant cozies and more, and Alameda residents will appreciate that she’s based right here in…you guessed it, Alameda. Yay! We aren’t the only fans of this fabulous brand: Patty/Papaver Vert has gotten loads of press from Daily Candy to Sunset Magazine, and ReadyMade to Real Simple! To name a few. Welcome, Papaver Vert, and thanks!
