westcorinthstudio :: Sustainable Spalted Walnut and Oak Jewelry Box

First to recommend

Description

This elegant box can be used for jewelry or any other items you might want to store in style. It is a truly eco friendly gift of the highest quality!

Each box is made like a miniature chest of drawers. It is so well made it seems like a small piece of fine furniture. The case is lined with white cedar, and drawers feature very fine handcut dovetails, handturned pulls, and charcoal gray velvet lines the drawer bottoms.It is meticulously finished with hand rubbed blended oil and wax, and is approximately 10 inches square and 10 inches tall.

This piece is made with oak and spalted walnut; the walnut has wonderful color caused by an insect attack on the tree which it came from.

Note:the back and bottom photos are representative to give you an idea of how they are constructed, but these are not actual box for sale.

Please visit our website www.westcorinthstudio.com for a photo essay of the box construction process and details of our sustainable wood supply.

All the wood used in our boxes is Green and each piece is crafted by hand in a low energy process. (via etsy.com)

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dryer Sheets, Lavender

First to recommend

Description

These dryer sheets rule! They make your entire laundry room smell good, yet aren't overpowering in a load of clothes. They work as well as traditional dryer sheets, but instead of using lots of chemicals a vegetable-derived softening agent and essentials oils are used. You can also recycle the sheet after the laundry is done.

Mrs. Meyer's products are also cruelty-free and not tested on animals. (via drugstore.com)

Sagaform Herb Pot, Red at Ochelly

First to recommend

Description

With this Herb Pot, you can store your herbs and prolong the life of the fresh herbs. A Scandinavian design, this herb pot is a simple and modern way to have fresh herbs, flowers, or vegetables in the kitchen.

Insert a bunch of your herbs in the opening and keep them hydrated by pouring water into the corner hole. The broad base ensures that all those little stalks have access to water, while allowing air to circulate so herbs keep from becoming limp and waterlogged.

The Herb Pot is easy to take apart for cleaning and looks very nice on your kitchen counter.

Compost Buckets from Gaiam

First to recommend

Description

Rather than make daily trips to the compost pile because of smelly, compost-bound scraps, this countertop or under-cabinet Compost Bucket has built-in activated-carbon filters to absorb odors. Toss in vegetable scraps, tea bags, eggshells and other organic materials, to take to the compost pile later. Especially since it is getting colder. Made in Canada. (via gaiam.com)

Eco Calendar 2009: Plantable made from Biodegradable Seed Paper

4 people recommended this item

Description

The Eco Calendar is similar to some seed imbedded gift wrap that I came across a few months ago. The one thing that I have always hated about calendars, is the waste of paper. I mean, you can recycle them, but ultimately it still seems like a waste to me. This calendar, however, is a perfect solution for me.

As you would normally discard a previous month's page, with the Eco Calendar, you plant the page. Yes, each page is a different grouping of wildflower seed.

Mrs. Meyer's Soy Candle, Lavender

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I never used to use scented candles in my house. I was worried that the scent would be cloying or overpowering. Or that my home would end up smelling like a powder room or like someone's grandmother. Anyway, I happened upon a Mrs. Meyer's display of products in a local grocery store and after smelling one of the candles, decided to try it.

I have been pleasantly surprised! I have been burning this candle everyday since then to freshen the house after smoking and for general dog smell. It's amazing! It doesn't so much mask the odor as it does just extinguish it. The entire house smells of lavender, which is wonderful. I'm sold! (via drugstore.com)
