My Philosophy

Hello. Welcome to our blog. My daughter and I believe that it is possible to be both stylish and eco-friendly!

I was tired of buying products for my home that were mass-produced and fell apart after one wash.
So in 2008 I started creating and selling hand-crafted soft furnishings, made from organic fabrics.

This blog focuses on living an eco-friendly lifestyle and will give you tips for creating items yourself and decorating your home with inexpensive, easy-t0-do ideas. My daughter (Sophie), will show you great finds and fun DIY ideas, while I concentrate more on Interior Decor trends, fabrics and sewing how-to's.

I hope you enjoy our articles and I encourage you to leave comments.

Please feel free to pin our photos!

Etsy Favourites

To me, nothing says Spring quite like pastels, nature and baby animals.  Spring is a season where you can get away with wearing pink shorts, lilac nail polish, little bunny earrings and other cute things! It's a season where you can be inspired by flowers blooming, the sun coming out and the smell after it rains.  I think of Spring as a breath of fresh air.  The weather warms up, we dare to bare our legs and try on bikinis. We feel motivated to clean our homes and dedicated to decorating and organizing. Here are some Etsy items that will make any Spring just that much more lovely.

Feathers Pillow Case

Pastel Framed Chalkboards

Pony Oxfords

Wrap Bracelet

Paper Butterflies

Bunny Cupcake Toppers
