Greetings!

Hi there faithful blog readers--

I'm the new addition to the Arcadia family and wanted to swing by here and introduce myself! I'm Bonnie, a  lover of all things leather, studded, and comfy. I'll be at Northern Liberties and Rittenhouse on Fridays and Sundays, so swing by and say hi! And make your way over to NoLibs this Sunday to work off all that Thanksgiving overeating guilt with the Holiday Shopping Spree!

We are lucky to have such talent  in our neighborhood.  Her pieces are a perfect present for that special someone :) You can also find Fleatherfox by Lydia Smith, and my other local designers at Angela's shop.  Don't forget 3rd street is a great place for a Mimosa or Bloody Mary!

New to Arcadia: Heron and Lamb Jewelry!


Our newest consigner, Heron and Lamb, is an animal-friendly jewelry line based out of Chicago. Inspired by the preservation of all things rustic and natural, each piece is infused with re-purposed materials and collected elements from nature.

Minimalist and understated, the use of dried flowers, mosses, and vintage lace evoke a feeling of nostalgia and delicacy while maintaining a strong sense of preservation. Each Heron and Lamb design is beautiful, romantic, and unique, and we are so excited to begin carrying this line, in-stores only at Arcadia Boutique!
