Tarts by Tarts at Treasury Valentine’s Event

Tart of Gold was a mouth watering event from a vintage and food standpoint. Treasury is always a great visit because they do such an excellent job of arranging and styling their merchandise. We are especially taken with their accessories and never fail to make at least one purchase on every visit (including this one).

The baking duo of Tarts by Tarts should probably add the tagline ‘ridiculously photogenic baked goods’ to their website. The pictures we took definitely triggered a Pavlovian response while we edited them. Luckily we ordered their Simple Apple Tart at the event, and are happy (sad?) to report that we liked it so much most of it did not make it to Valentine’s Day.

Treasury opens Today

It has been so exciting watching Listopad evolve into Treasury. The culmination of this was last night, when I stopped by to see the brick and mortar version that everyone was eagerly anticipating and Katerina and Cathy had worked so hard on. The store is lovely, filled with thoughtful arrangements, inviting seating areas and beautiful flowers. It’s the kind of little shop I’d like to spend my afternoons in, drinking tea, chatting with Rachel and Holly. I had such a fun time looking through the vintage clothes, adorable little jumpers, romantic lace dresses, colorful prints - everyone I talked to had found a favorite, none of us could leave without it. I bought a dark turquoise cropped jacket and a long gold necklace, but I will be back for more…. specially if they have some more delicious cookies for me to eat ;)
