dreaming of spring

I’ve been dreaming of spring lately… Warmer weather, blooming flowers, outside brunches and the fresh spring air! I wanted to share a few entertaining items that are reminding us all that spring is right around the corner… and it can’t come any sooner!

Tis classic, old-fashioned juicer not only adds style to your kitchen, but it will be your best friend when squeezing all that delicious fruit this spring!

FeedBag dreaming of spring

A perfect bag for the spring picnics we’ve all been waiting for! Also, when you buy this bag you’re contributing to the UN World Food Program, which provides children with healthy school meals and fresh water!

Time to bring out the Mason jar! It’s not spring until you’re sipping lemonade out this mug.

OrganicNapkins dreaming of spring

West Elm Organic Napkins

There’s something about simple organic linens that remind me of spring. I adore these yarn-dyed napkins from West Elm… A perfect blend of simplicity and color.

Disposable dinnerware? On an eco blog? Now you`ve seen it all, right?

Previously only available in Asia and Europe, Japan`s WASARA dinnerware is finally available in North America.

Plus, they`re made with 100% tree-free sustainable materials: sugar cane fibre, bamboo and reed pulp. Order yours in advance of spring and be pret-a-picnic!

Price: Individual pieces, from $9 US (pack of 12 small plates). Sample pack (one each of all 14 pieces) $18 US.

biodegradable cutlery

cutlery biodegradable cutleryLooking to have a ton of people over but don’t have enough cutlery to go around? Really don’t want to buy plastic and toss it into the garbage after knowing it’s just going to end up in a landfill?

Check out this biodegradable cutlery. Made from potato starch, it’s not only biodegradable, you can compost it, too — it completely breaks down in three to six weeks. And while the price is somewhat higher, isn’t it worth it for never having to rely on petroleum-based plastic knives, forks and spoons again?

Available at: www.grassrootsstore.com

Price: $5.99 (package of 50)

throw pillows

pillows throw pillowsSomeone told me recently that her favourite home decor find is pretty toss cushions. I agree. Pretty pillows and chic cushions in extravagant fabrics and vibrant colours just emanate luxury. Throw pillows on a sofa beckon you to join them, luxuriate in them, lounge a little longer. And pillows outside is an easy way to bring the comforts of inside, outside. The outdoor pillows pictured here feature an Asian-inspired design and are comfy but durable enough to withstand being left out in the sun.

Available at: Pottery Barn
Price: $32 to $38
