Urban Living is a gem of a shop that focuses on feminine and fragrant
nature-inspired gifts and accessories for the home and body. On a

Spring has a way of reinvigorating my senses. Cherry blossoms -- fluffs of vibrant pink that stand out against gray Seattle skies -- are a sight for sore eyes, and birdsong, which swells as the season unfolds, is music to my ears.

While I wish she would pamper herself a little (heaven knows she deserves it), I'm happy to do it for her, so I'm always on the lookout for sweet-smelling luxury items. This year, just in time for Mother's Day, I've found two local purveyors of good scents to choose from.

Kim O'Neil Screen comes from good stock. That's what her grandfather always said. So after putting together a beautiful bound book for her mother's 60th birthday and witnessing the joy it brought to her and her family, Screen, a graphic designer, decided to launch a press, bindery and custom-book company, which she named -- you guessed it -- Good Stock.
