The sweetness at DOSE, May 12!
We did it once and we had so much fun we’re doing it again — May 12 is Mother’s Day and it’s a DOSE dedicated to the prettiest, the sweetest and the most divine. Dive in! 
HOW TO DOSE MAY 12: A PRIMER
Head straight for Robin Richman and dig into the ultra-special cache she’s put together for the most fashionable ladies in the city. Cannot miss this DOSE of Robin Richman. Can. Not. Miss.
Stop by and say hello to new mama Samantha Sleeper and pick up an endlessly feminine piece from her new collection, debuting at DOSE in prints and treatments that are totally divine.
DIY@DOSE: Make it your day to be adored, crowning yourself or someone you love with a handmade floral wreath. A Muse has all the fresh flowers, greenery and inspiration to get busy!
Last month DOSE-goers showed us their creativity by making fantastic works of fun guided by the fine artists at ACRE. Stop by and admire the work (and have a fantastic laugh!) in the cafe.
Be good boys and girls and eat your breakfast: mama never said it couldn’t be a jalapeno, honey and mesquite bacon flight from Bakin’ & Eggs. Also, biscuits, gravy + fresh OJ.
Ready for a sweet? Go straight for a raspberry-rose or pistachio cream puff from Eclair Bakery & Patisserie or try the brioche filled with chocolate custard cream fit for a queen.
At the very first DOSE, Crop To Cup Coffee served up an iced horchata that has a fan base all its own. Sweet, chocolately and bright, it’s the best caffeine hit ever. And it’s back May 12.
Tea more your thing? How about a tisane? SenTEAmental Moods doses small batch summer blends for wellness rich with hibiscus, rosehips and bouquets of gorgeous blossoms.
We’re quite sure you’ll fall in love with Cursive Design‘s printed silk and brass pieces and hand-hammered, precious metal pendants from jules., customized for you right at the Market.
And we absolutely adore the delicate beauty of Up in the Air Somewhere‘s limited edition, handmade ceramics. This dishware collection is clean, modern, beautiful and sunkissed with gold leaf.
Pretty and picnic ready: double-duty is something we can’t get enough of. KraeO debuts the Odessa, a big, lightweight cotton scarf that doubles as a blanket for impromptu park visits.
And this DOSE is plentiful with all kinds of cozy. DOSE CAUSE Hand & Cloth sells cotton throws, coverlets, and silk throws made with gorgeous vintage sari cloth.
Making makeup quite elegant, Naked Elements is a premium vegan mineral cosmetics line rich in good stuff for your skin and a subtle shimmery finish that’s perfect for the summer season.
We know, we know, what is DOSE (read: life) without cheese? Baker & Nosh blend Kilgus Farms cream and buttermilk for the perfect tang with a pinch of salt to punch up the flavor.
And be ready to say “Cheese!” too. The old-timey Fotio booth lets you be the photographer, equalling all kinds of fun for lovers, families and those looking for a new Facebook profile pic.
Oh, Veruca! Can’t wait for you to try Veruca Chocolate‘s newest flavors: lavender caramels, almond-cherry and pistachio candy bars and chocolate tiles studded with Maldon sea salt.
Meet new friends by getting swooped up in a SideCar on your way to the Market. Haven’t heard? Ride-sharing is where it’s at! Download the app and ride free with code ILOVEDOSE!
Your mama’s got sauce! But seriously, she needs this, we all do, and no one can help but eat it out of the jar. All-natural, GrownUp KidStuff makes every day better. Love being a grownup!
CALLING ALL COOKS! You’ve got mad skills. Write up your masterpiece recipe at Curbside Splendor and sign it with your autograph. We’re gathering to release a very special collection.
We’ll be back with more details next week!
In the meantime, think tamales, tostadas and delicious, delicious cocktails.
