Today I’m a Guest Curator on Etsy’s blog The Storque — very exciting! Here’s my post for them; for the full article, click here. (Keep in mind that things sell out quickly on Etsy, so if something is no longer available, the seller might have something similar, or might stock something again down the road.)
I`m always on the lookout for great natural products for the home from anywhere and everywhere and recently posted about a colourful baby quilt by Etsy`s Sewn Natural (www.sewnnatural.etsy.com). There`s masses of other fabulous earth-friendly products on Etsy and this is just a small sampling!
organic linen napkins by natsuminishizumi
Love the splash of colour on these organic linen napkins from natsuminishizumi. They`re hand-screenprinted using water-based inks, and 5% of the profits go to Friends Without a Border, a charity that provides medical care to children in Cambodia (http://www.fwab.org/). Goodness all round!

Price: $30 US per set of 2
vintage fabric hearts by pouch
These lavender sachets from Pouch will add a sweet scent to your drawers or closets and repel moths in a natural, chemical-free way; plus, they`re made from vintage recycled fabric.

yellow dragonfly nightlight by mariposaavenue
What a clever use of an old can! Mariposa Avenue takes what would otherwise be trash and turns it into an attactive light fixture by cutting out a pretty design, painting it a bright, cheery colour and adding a light equipped with a photo sensor so it only comes on when the room is dark enough. Perfect for when guests come to visit or wee ones just find the dark too frightful.

If you’re heading down to the Green Living Show in Toronto this weekend, you’re in for a treat. I went down yesterday and I was really impressed with not only the selection of eco-friendly products and information on offer, but also the crowds thronging the Direct Energy Centre, which is where the show is held. Obviously, there’s a lot of interest in green living, and that’s wonderful!
