Hippies Use Backdoor

How cool this this?

Now you can use your BPA leeching bottles as sweet lanterns.

it’s kind of flattering when you write a review for something…

And then it goes out of stock.

Hopefully everyone who is reading this has experienced Etsy, and if you haven’t. Well, what are you waiting for? It’s a virtual Saturday Market, I have it linked on the left beneath Red Lamp as well.

Anyway, I could go on and on about the many wonderful soaps, accessories, and fibre I have purchased there but I’m currently being blessed with the wonderful scents of spring thanks to (the very reasonably priced) Loreto. I’ve spent the past year or so on the hunt for a spring scent… You know, when all the flowers are in bloom and it’s just warm enough outside to mesh all of those scents together? Mmmm… Heaven.

I told Loreto my predicament and she went straight to it. Yesterday, oh hellish yesterday, was made all better by the lovely little package I received from her. There was a beautiful postcard included as well.

Even if you aren’t interested in a spring scent, or in a scent at all I highly suggest checking out her shop anyway. She hand knits hats and also includes a few sewn items that are all very eco-friendly! -Perfumes and hand knit hats, perfect for mother’s day, no? Oh, and a little love for Mother Nature

Here’s a few words I snagged from her shop description,

“A line of deconstructed clothing, jewelry, aromatherapy products and handknit accessories for those who create their own style, regardless of what’s trendy. Inspired by color, rhythm, diversity, love and nature. Unique in every sense of the word. Our philosophy: If you like it, and it looks good, wear it, even if it wasn’t in the pages of a magazine.

Respecting our planet with handmade items using recycled cloth, jewelry, yarn, etc. We only use natural materials in our handknits such as soy, hemp and wool. The perfume and aromatherapy line is 100% vegan. Our perfume blends contain 90% pure essential oils with 10% fragrance oils in a jojoba oil or alcohol base. All bath and body products are made fresh to order.“

So before you grab your next perfume from Victoria’s Secret or Misc Name Brand Here consider not only our planet, but the wonderful and talented people who inhabit it. I’d rather send my money toward fantabulous people such as Loreto instead of giant corporations. But… That’s just me.

Go check her out. Now.
