Eco-Friendly Memories from France

From sunny Montpellier, southern France, Sonia of Cozy Memories uses undangered & abundantly growing local plants (never from extract) for dyeing her beautiful scarves, zipped pouches & craft supplies. Along with using vintage and repurposed fabrics, she also uses natural materials (cotton & organic cotton, linen, wool, hemp & silk) for making her one-of-a-kind accessories & homewares.  We're honoured to have her join us this month for our Mother's Day and Eco market at Poppytalk Handmade. Check out her eco-friendly products here which would make a lovely gift for Mother's Day (and to Mother Earth).

Bamboo Furniture Love

Loving all this bamboo furniture from Tine K Home's new spring/summer  collection.  With bamboo being one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, the direction to make more products with it only makes sense, and I'm really liking the direction their line is taking.  Some painted (white or black) and other's natural, the new line offers a unique selection with a collection that they say is continually growing.  They also have a fresh new line of textiles for the season to come. Check a few favorites below:
