It’s my favorite time of year, Fall. And comes with it, my favorite holiday of all, Halloween. I love Halloween because it is so much fun to decorate our house with all of our lovely Halloween things and to make our yard spooky. I love to think up fun Halloween costumes for my family and spending the time to make them. Every year we have so much fun as a family making new decorations for our home and it is the perfect way to be creative while upcycling and recycling. We are going to start decorating for Halloween next week. Do you decorate for Halloween? Have you started? If not, this week’s Earth Friendly Etsy Shop:: Modernality will put you in the Halloween spirit.
Modernality is a sweet shop owned by Tara in Salt Lake City, Utah. {Woo Hoo! I am also a Salt Lake City girl.} Modernality is a fab shop full of lovely pillows and wall hangings for your home, not only for Halloween, but anytime of the year. Modernality’s pillows and wall hangings are made using 100% Eco friendly felt that is made from recycled plastic water bottles which becomes a soft and durable felt fabric. Modernality’s pillows aren’t only Eco friendly, they are fabulous. I love the designs and the colors that Tara puts together.
Tara received a sewing machine as a gift last Christmas, it was only then that she started to make her lovely line of pillows. She decided this would be a perfect opportunity for her to start her own shop that would allow her to stay at home with her newborn son. Tara finds inspiration all around her and uses these inspirations to design her lovely pillows. Tara wants everyone to know that you can achieve anything if you work hard enough at it and that you can start crafting at any age, she started at 27. This has given me new inspiration to start sewing again and am actually feeling excited about it. My fave items from Modernality’s shop are the Pac-Man pillows. They remind me of my childhood and are so charming. I think Eben would love them as well and the ghost pillow that is the giveaway item this week because I love the design and orange is my fave color.
Tara @ Modernality has been a dear to offer ONE of my readers a lovely 16 x 16 ghost pillow just in time for Halloween.

Hi! I think the Tulip Pillow Cover could cheer up anyone’s home! A nice reminder of all the spring flowers we look forward to seeing after winter. Beautiful sewing.

i would love the Plum Flower Pillow Cover- 12 x 16 inches and the Black and White Modern Floral Pillow Cover- 16×16 inches
I think my favorite Fall tradition is carving a pumpkin. I try to get really creative and then send a photo to my sister who is a professional horror writer. If I am able to visit, I take it to her. It’s her favorite holiday, so I even shop the Halloween clearance for really unusual things and put them away as Christmas gifts for her. She would love this ghostly pillow!
Beautiful fabric! I also like Modernality’s Abstract Tree Pillow Cover. Thanks!

My favorite Halloween tradition is cliche but its carving pumpkins on Halloween with my partner. I have always carved a pumpkin on Halloween since I was a kid with my mom, but we still do it as adults and I just love it.

Not what most people would call “cheerful” but I like the Brown Branch Pillow Cover. Bare tree branches have a transcendent, austere kind of beauty, a peaceful mien. I enjoy sketching them. My partner & I would both find this pillow cover the perfect addition to our decor.

My favorite fall tradition: buying books for the new school year. As a graduate student, I still get to do this.

The white branch pillow cover is so beautiful. I love the lines – makes me think of a snow-covered branch held up against the night sky. I love trees! It would look great in my study, as we have dark wood everything in there.
