“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.

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.

Vintage Homespun Linen has swept inside our Market Baskets!  New removable linings made of vintage homespun linen accent our baskets with chic style.  The lining ties around the handles, and can be easily removed to throw in the wash! 

Get your newly lined basket at our retail store, or online by clicking here!

Lushly scented lavender buds from Provence, France are sweetly tucked within homespun sachets to fill your room, drawer, or closet with calming, all-natural perfumes.  Bundled together, our sachets come as a set of three, including a red stripe, blue stripe, and natural sachet.
