I mentioned Brook Farm General Store in the "Allison's favorite online shops" article last week. Most of these shops, Brook Farm included, were added to the list because they are independentally owned and all-around good people.
Unmentioned in the article, I had recently made a purchase from Brook Farm and currently awaited its arrival. Well, today was the day. It arrived.

Yes, I ordered a wastebasket. No, it's not just any wastebasket, it's a really pretty one.
Brook Farm packaged my shipment very nicely and even included a sweet treat.

That's what I'm talking about. Those little touches make ordering from a shop like this way more fun l than Amazon.
I also ordered a little something for a special someone that has been placed under the Christmas tree (to be revealed at a later date)...
