Shop Update!

My etsy shop will be getting an update Saturday morning at about 9 a.m. Pacific time. Featured in this update will be a couple new assortments of items that I have been working on for the past two weeks. First of all, there will be four little eco-friendly plush mushrooms:


All hand sewn, made from eco felt (felt made from 100% recycled plastic bottles), and vintage notions, then stuffed with recycled paper. I have had quite the mushroom fixation lately and these have been so much fun to make, and I love that they are so earth friendly!


The other items that will go into the shop are seven organic cotton jelly straining bags. I made eight of these and kept one for myself since I have been making so much jelly lately (there's a new batch ready to go into the shop next wednesday). The organic cotton ensures that no nasty chemicals will spoil fine jellies, and the cute little fabrics that encase the draw strings make a ho-hum piece of kitchen wear a bit more fun. To wash them all you need to do is soak them in warm water and white vinegar and give them a good hand-washing! See you all tomorrow morning!

*Edited to add: The shop update went off without a hitch!
