Etsy Finds for Mothers Day
Mother’s Day is just over a week away, which means there’s still time to buy handmade for your momma!
Reclaimed Wood Art: Q&A with Wendy Kaehr of EarthArt
Wendy Kaehr of EarthArt makes gorgeous painted pieces using reclaimed wood that she finds near her home. I love how she uses eco-friendly paints in bright colors to enhance the wood’s natural features. Since each scavenged piece of wood is different, all of Wendy’s wood art pieces are one of a kind, to boot! She was kind enough to talk with us about what inspires her.
Etsy Finds for Valentine’s Day
Can you believe that Valentine’s Day is less than a month off? We spend upwards of $15 billion on Valentine’s Day gifts and getaways. Imagine the impact we could make if we channeled some of that money to independent artisans who use eco-friendly materials instead of blowing it at the big box store?
On the hunt for just the right Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetie? We’ve got a few romantic finds from Etsy that should do the trick.
Spotted: Reclaimed Wood Art
We love any project that uses reclaimed wood, and I’m totally digging this super sweet reclaimed wood art from Olga Oreshyna. I love the textures and colors of these pieces!
Waste Free Haircare: Shampoo Without the Bottle
Shampoo bars are nothing new, but Gear Head Shampoo gives the shampoo bar a facelift with their super cute no-bottle shampoos. Like they point out on the site, it’s a little bit ironic to spend the big bucks on organic shampoos that come in a single use plastic bottle.
