Five Favorite Things
Posted by:
Introducing our new bi-weekly column where we share five of our favorite things from the week! Read on for recommendations from the Coral & Tusk team for the weekend ahead. Enjoy!
Lynsey our Fabric Manager recommends Rachel Carson’s book Under the Sea-Wind. “Under the Sea-Wind has beautifully descriptive depictions of sea life and marine ecosystems, the perfect antidote for missing the outdoors.” Consider ordering Carson’s book and others from your local bookstore!
“Light of a Clear Blue Morning” by Dolly Parton.
Listening to Dolly this week has provided a boost of positivity for our Brooklyn team as they work remotely. “I’ve had this song on loop in my brain all week.” says Alicia our Creative Content Manager + Wholesale Accounts Director. “Everything's gonna be all right / It's gonna be okay.” Thanks Dolly!
Alija, our Content and Brand Manager shared this DELIGHTFUL video with our team! “Really pleasant and fun cat video on youtube I’d recommend for a short watch!” says Alija, “Share it with everyone you know for a break and nice pick-me-up!”
Shop your favorite local shop online this weekend (if you can!) Some of our stockists are still accepting and shipping orders through their websites. Browse the curated collections of John Derian Company, Collyer’s Mansion, Sue Fisher King, Paper Trail, Favor the Kind, Kestrel and so many more! Check out our Stockist List for your local shop and contact them to see if they are fulfilling online orders and deliveries during mandatory closures.
Here are a few places we are donating to personally during the current health crisis.
- Make a contribution to your local food bank like Food Bank for NYC or an organization like God’s Love We Deliver. Do a quick google search for the food bank in your area.
- Center for Disaster Philanthropy COVID-19 Response fund. This US-based organization is supporting local nonprofits in areas with a high number of affected individuals and vulnerable populations.
- Meals on Wheels is an organization delivering meals to our elderly population and No Kid Hungry uses donations to send emergency grants to food banks and local community groups.
- If you are able, donating blood is crucial at this time.
Stephanie, Coral & Tusk founder and designer recommends to pick up the phone and dial a loved one this weekend!
"Even though you may feel like crawling in a hole, and it feels like a lot of energy spend, call people you love this weekend. No text can replace a phone call, and it always amazes me what joy it brings to both parties to have a chat. It may feel impossible to muster the energy, but it will be worth it!" - Stephanie
