Fun for the summer!

Well it's finally here! The longer days, the sunny weather, the beach that's calling you. And we have plenty of new products for your green lifestyle. New in this season are sustainably made all natural rubber flip flops. Did you know that rubber is made from the sap of the rubber tree? They gather the sap similar to how maple syrup is collected by tapping the tree and allowing it to run into a bucket. This process doesn't hurt the tree and allows it to grow on for many many years. These flips flops are ultra comfortable, made by a podiatrist and you will feel good knowing that they are eco-friendly.


We also have lots of new jewelry and bags from Guatemala. The artisans are so skilled at making tiny beaded designs into various flower shapes. They also make recycled Huipil bags, made from the colorful tops the women stitch for themselves. Intricate flowers are handsewn onto cotton fabric. The women take great pride in their clothing and when a piece becomes older, they reuse the fabric and turn them into these beautiful bags.



Our local jewelry artist, Krista Lynn Designs, has been making a lovely selection of handmade jewelry. Crystals, gemstones, seeds and ceramic are used to make one of a kind creations. Her jewelry never lasts long in the shop but don't worry, she is always busy making us new items.






Another of our favorite new items is our Fab Mats. These are recyled woven plastic outdoor mats that are perfect for your deck or patio. They are available in 3x5, 4x6 or 6x9 in a variety of colors and designs. Just hose them off from time to time. They are extremely easy to care for.



So stop in and say hello, we are always happy to see old friends and make new ones! Have a great summer!
