Shopping: January 2007 Archives

In my weekend Red Hook excursion I came across the soap store Saipua on Van Brunt Street (right near the new wine bar and cafe Tini and the new jewelry store Erie Basin). The super cute olive-oil based soap store has some great smelling "flavors"--my two favorites were coffee mint and peppermint pumice. According to the store's website, the family-owned company is based out of the Hudson Valley and has been running since 1999. One more reason to trek over or under the BQE.
