You may recognize Natalie Jo Wright’s work from her large-scale paintings around town, but we’re currently obsessed with some of her smaller creations — painted polymer clay mushrooms. The pint-sized pretties come as ornaments, plant decorations or earrings. You can buy a variety pack that arrives in an adorable paper produce basket. We’re squealing over how cute these are. nataliejowright.comCourtesy of Natalie Jo WrightYou may recognize Natalie Jo Wright’s work from her large-scale paintings around town, but we’re currently obsessed with some of her smaller creations — painted polymer clay mushrooms.

The ONE Dress — a durable, sustainable piece made out of woven cotton — was inspired by the dynamic women in creator Jessica Baack’s life. It can be worn over layers or on its own, making the styling possibilities endless. Baack agonized over every detail to create an ethically made dress that’s flattering on many frames (and has pockets!). The versatility really is remarkable: Women have styled the dress for occasions ranging from snow sledding to beach days. jessicamartin.comCourtesy of Jessica MartinThe ONE Dress — a durable, sustainable piece made out of woven cotton — was inspired by the dynamic women in creator Jessica Baack’s life.

There’s a new eatery in town that’s achieved hidden gem status for us — Hutong, a Chinese restaurant a few blocks off the Square. It has a small, well-executed menu that includes cold plates like chicken chili oil sauce; small plates that are served warm, like the “Chinese Hamburger” bun; and four noodle dishes. 410 E.
