Very Hush Hush

Last summer, an artist named Cathy Terepocki opened up shop here in Nelson with designer Tracy Fillion, in an airstream trailer in a back alley. Okay, it’s only sort of a back alley as it does have a name (Herridge Lane) and is also occupied by one of the best restaurants in Nelson, All Seasons Cafe. Anyway, in anticipation of the re-opening of Very Hush Hush this summer, I wanted to do a little tribute to Cathy and Tracy’s boutique.

Check out Cathy’s site: Horn of Plenty
Tracy’s shop: Dear Pony,

I have a wedding-related story for each of these, if you can bear it…
First of all, Ryan bought an adorable blue/gray argyle shirt by Dear Pony for me to wear to a bridal shower when I was feeling particularly lackluster. It has silkscreened crows on it and the words ‘a murder of crows’. I love it.
As for Horn of Plenty: I wanted to buy one of Cathy’s glass pendant necklaces for each of my bridesmaids (four of them) and she kindly offered to bring in the ones she had from home so I would have a greater selection, which I thought was really sweet.
Do I sound wistful? If I do, I can assure you it has much more to do with wishing it was summer than planning a wedding. Don’t get me wrong, the wedding was great (especially the food) but what with Ryan losing the pants to his wedding suit a week before and not hiring a DJ until the day before… I’ll just say that I’m happy to be married to Ryan and I really just want it to be summer so we can go to the beach and wander through Cottonwood Market again.
