Just Another Reason to Love Paris – Vertical Gardens

January 31, 2011 0
This morning, I saw this beautiful vertical garden at the MusĂ©e du quai Branly in Paris over at Inhabitat. Created by Patrick Blanc these vertical garden systems allow both plants and buildings to live in harmony with each other. Brilliant!

Branch: Felted Sting Rays and Sea Turtles

January 28, 2011 0

I am smitten with these felted Sting Rays and Sea Turtles from Branch. I love that they were intended as chew-toys for dogs but could also be used as toys and decor for a child’s or family room. These lovelies are handmade using all natural and renewable felt by craftswomen in Nepal – which just sweetens the deal.

+ Branch Felted Sting Ray or Sea Turtle $12

This week’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway is a set of 13 reclaimed wooden blocks from M. Hauser Gallery. M. Hauser Gallery is owned by Matthew who has loved to work with wood since he was very young. He creates one of kind furniture pieces and toys. Matthew takes pride in the workmanship of everything that he creates and uses a fabulous selection of recycled woods. 
Matthew’s building blocks come in an assortment of colors, sizes, shapes and woods. These will have your child expanding their imagination with hours and hours of fun.

If I still lived in Colorado, I think I would have to pick up a set of his ski storage racks. Wouldn’t your skis look fantastic hanging from these beautiful pieces? Instant artwork.

The details in his tables are fantastic, with fabulous details inlaid into the pieces. I am especially smitten with the federal card table.

Jump over to M. Hauser Gallery and pick up something beautifully sustainable for your home and leave a comment below.
