I’m Erinn. I have two exceptionally cute shops on Abbot Kinney in Venice, CA. Firefly + Kid Firefly.

Pizza Fest

Every other Wednesday we get a delivery of locally sourced, organic goods from our friends at the Venice Merchant.  Be sure to check out their recipes on their site.  Recently they teamed up with Pitfire Pizza and now you can get fresh pizza dough at home.  We can be seen at Pitfire more often than we’d like to admit and get it delivered all the time.  I could probably recite their entire menu if given the challenge.  I am pretty obsessed with their Tuscan bean soup and kale salad (and pasta and pizza, naturally).  Mia loves to be in the kitchen and we figured we saved about an hour having the dough already prepped.  Mia, you are a champ!  Dinner was delicious and Mom got to spend a little extra time at Firefly.

Cotton and Flax

We recently got in the most amazing goods from Cotton and Flax at Firefly.  I cannot choose which I covet most, so I might just have to have one of everything.  I have been a long time fan of designer, Erin Dollar.  I first encountered Erin at the Renegade Craft Fair.  It seems every time I bump into her, I pretty much gawked with envy at her overabundance of creativity.  She used to make these beards out of yarn that of course, I HAD to own.  I still get chuckles at this pic.  I am so thrilled to have her be a part of Firefly.
