Our Thoughts

I love hand crafted products and natural products, obviously. These truly are exquisite and lovely quality. Each item adds a touch of beauty to your household.

Banana Fiber Basket

A banana basket! What an ingenious idea! We love bananas here and eat them daily, I love showing my kids they're not only good (and useful) on the inside but you can make stuff out of them too! Much larger than the picture depicts, it holds a nice spot next to our front door as our "drop off" point for change and keys. It looks lovely there! It's also really sturdy, not like cheap baskets you get at cheap stores where they start to peel apart.

 Storage Basket

No more dust on my jewelry! I have a bowl or cute box that I put everything in, but over time dust gets all over it. With this adorable storage basket I don't have to worry about dirty jewelry anymore AND it's a lovely table piece on top of my dresser. The material is very soft and the lid fits perfectly on top so it doesn't fall in the basket.

Round Serving Bowls

How cool are these bowls? They are carved from cow horns and are really soft. I also received a flower vase made of the same material. One of the serving bowls I received was a dark color so the contrast of the bowls and vase is a real eye-catcher on my table.  You can use them for more than food items, they'd make great coin catchers too. Or kid hats as my five year old has shown me, she really likes the small serving bowl. They're hard but not hard enough that I'm afraid they'll break if they fall on the ground. Shiny and pretty for whatever you use them for. I appreciate the craftsmanship on all of these pieces!
