“Every gift from a friend is a with for your happiness” – Richard Bach
The Holiday season is upon us, and as everyone bustles about with parties, get-togethers, gift exchanges, and dinners, we have put together a collection of Gift Baskets to help you wish happiness on your friends & loved ones.
Our hand-woven, sustainable line of baskets provide the shape, and help create a marvelous gift within a gift. Cote Bastide soaps and room sprays, Marius Fabre soaps, our Homespun Lifestyle linens, Seda France candles, hand-made finger puppets, and Amish wash cloths are a few of the delights you will find within.

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.
Special Ends Wednesday, August 19th

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)!

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)!

Pieces from our Homespun Textiles Collection are now available for purchase in our online store! To view the selection and shop, click here.
Dating from 120 to 60 years old, our collection of homespun textiles originate from the farms of Eastern & Central Europe. Used as grain sacks, the fabrics markings indicate the farm to which the product within belonged. The linen was home grown, home retted, and hand woven, creating a fabric that is soft & supple with a pronounced durability.
