I Heart Mom!

April 7th, 2010

Mother’s Day is on its way….

What to say about our mamas?  We love them!

For all she does for us, sometimes one Holiday doesn’t seem enough.  But on that day, what  joy it is to celebrate. 

To help celebrate, we have  created two special mother’s day baskets.  Goodies for the bath and home fill our toteable market baskets to give the mothers in our lives a special gift within a gift.

C & P Organization Tip #5: Ba(s)ck(et) to School

August 4th, 2009

As the August heat blasts through, we all shout “Back to School!”  A mix of emotions sweep through us as the last days of summer come to an end and a new school year begins.   Preparing for “school”, even if there are no children to ready or classes of our own to begin, is something that lingers from childhood.  Those K-12 years drove it into us – Prepare!  Get your Study ready! 

And for us, not only is it important to start fresh with new notebooks, pencils, and pens (or crayons and paste), but with a freshly organized workspace. 

Baskets are always helpful in helping to contain all the office & school supplies. 

For the next two weeks,

Our Totora Cube will be 50% OFF & our Totora File Basket will be 25% OFF in order to help you ready for the school year.

C & P Organization Tip #3: Hiding in Plain Sight

May 14th, 2009

Our electronic gadgets and gidgets seem to build up on our desks and counters.  What a relief it is to clear the clutter from sight.   

We suggest collecting them in something out of the electron world and into something  natural.  Allowing you to hide the clutter in plain sight.

Our stackable Hold Everthing basket fits CDs perfectly, and would be great to store your iPod and accessories. 

For the next 2 Weeks our Hold Everthing basket will be $30 (reg. $42)!

A Tisket, A Tasket, A Mother’s Day Basket: C&P Organization Tip #2

April 23rd, 2009

 

Market Basket in Light Brown

Market Basket in Light Brown

Mothers –

Always with a million things on their to-do list, and a million things to tote around and keep track of.

Tip # 2: Gathering It Up

We find that keeping a basket nearby – at the bottom of the stairs, in the back of the car, in the entry way – helps collect things until it’s time to put them back in place.

Our Market Baskets, with their rich hues, bring an all-natural and stylish way to tote the everyday here, there and everywhere.

Tips & To-Dos Special:

For the Next Two Weeks – April 23rd to May 7th, 2009
Our Medium Market Baskets will be $80 (reg. $120)!
