With fall right around the corner, I have started to think of the cozy nights we spend in our living rooms together sipping tea, coffee or cocoa. For some reason, I am a huge fan of candles in the fall and winter. I love the feel of a room lite only by candles. I have to admit now that summer is ending and it is starting to get cooler outside, I am craving the nights spent inside with my family. Eben and I love to snuggle up on the sofa under a super soft blanket and read. We also like to grab big pillows and snuggle up on the floor to play board games and read. Since I am craving the snuggle on a cool crisp night feel, I thought this week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop should offer something that would add to the coziness and ambiance.
I recently discovered The Ceremonial Home. The Ceremonial Home is owned by Grayson a designer and artist in the San Francisco Bay area. With a background in the arts, and in architectural, landscape, and furniture design, Grayson is partial to geometric and simple forms in her functional and non-functional work. Her idea to keep the art uncluttered and uncomplicated is very appealing to me. She believes that for the piece to feel ceremonial, the overall essence should be strong, magnetic, but quiet. {fabulous} Grayson is also a painter whose paintings also echo this same visual movement. The materials and methods that she uses in her functional and sculptural work are casting and hand building using metal infused concrete. The metal infused concrete used to make most of the 3 dimensional items in her shop are all from Eco-friendly materials. At every opportunity she uses only recycled or repurposed materials.
One of my favorite items at The Ceremonial Home are the Cowboy Zen Oil Lamps. The Cowboy Zen Oil Lamps are fabulous in their shape and design. The steel plate tops are naturally rusted and the entire piece is finished in all natural, non-toxic Tung Oil. Each lamp is 3″ square x 2 1/2″ high. The lamp has a burn capacity of approximately 6 to 8 hours per filling. The lamp will come beautifully gift wrapped in an all natural papier mache box with gift card and natural hemp cording. This lamp would make a wonderful holiday gift and will fit in with the design of almost any home.
Now can you see why I am craving a little inside by the oil lamp time with my family? Are you looking forward to fall and winter? Wouldn’t you love to snuggle up with this fab lamp lighting the room?
Grayson @ The Ceremonial Home has been so lovely to offer ONE of my readers a Cowboy Zen Oil Lamp. $50 Value

I love the Baby Beach Zen Garden. I received a more mundane kind of zen garden as a gift one year & have thoroughly enjoyed it. However this one is far more elegant & upscale.
