Brighten Your Home Decor With Natural Beauty

Give gifts and decorate with products made from natural materials.

Better for the environment, organic materials don't contain potentially harmful chemicals, and can be easily recycled when they've out lived their usefulness.

Natural materials aren't usually associated with the large quantities of chemical pollutants produced from the manufacturing of artificial materials.

Natural materials have a beauty unmatched by artificial materials.

Gifts and decorations made from natural, eco-friendly and sustainable products handcrafted by passionate designers and artisans will brighten anyone's day all year long.

Succulent Living Wreaths 

Succulent Wreath

Succulent plants are plants that suck up and store water to live on during long dry spells. Which make them the perfect type of plants for this unique living wreath.

Hand-assembled into five groups of green-gray, burgundy and silver succulents, the design of this living wreath features each plant's distinctive textures, leaf patterns, and colors.

As eco-friendly as it is enchanting, the succulents include water-saving crassia, lichen and other unique yet compatible varieties that thrive with minimal watering every three to eight weeks.

Deceptively charming, is it food, or decoration?

This wreath combines organic marjoram, dill, thyme, sage, lavender, anise, cinnamon sticks, and yarrow with chili peppers as accents.

A very tasteful arrangement, to be sure!

The culinary herbs will add a savory fragrance to your kitchen and can be clipped off for use in your cooking, as well.

Stone Owl Ornaments

They're a hoot!

This Family of Owls, made from granite, look great indoors and out. Perched wisely on a bench or pathway. Place them on your patio or in your garden.

They won't be flying off any time soon as they are quite content to sit and liven up their surroundings.

Color will vary from tan to grey due to natural variations in the stone.

Wooly Night Owl 

Wooly Night Owl


These plump, huggable handmade owls are knitted from hand-spun wool in Kenya by women who also use plants in their own gardens for the dye they use.

The program that enables them to create these adorable owls has already earned the money needed for glasses when it was learned that some women were knitting just inches away from their eyes because they couldn't see correctly.

Now it helps them see a prosperous future ahead for them and their children.

Star Fruit and Daikon Veggie Bowl 

Star Fruit and Daikon Veggie Bowl

Inventive natural sculptor Margaret Dorfman produces remarkable creations by transforming edibles into luminescent, chemical-free vessels.

Her latest, perfect for any season, combines a daikon background with rich ruby star fruit to create a floating, vibrant pattern.

Assembled slice by slice, all bowls are hand-shaped to resemble large, bright, wavy flowers, and coated to retain their translucent vibrancy.

They comfortably hold a votive candle in a cup.

Teak Lotus Panel 

Teak Lotus Panel

Thai craftsmen spend endless hours to hand carving, sanding, and waxing these intricate lotus flower motifs made of reclaimed teak planks from old homes and community buildings.

Each panel is cut into 12" sections that fit together for ease of shipping and mounting, and comes with recessed hanging hardware.

Each piece is truly unique, variations in wood color and carving do occur.

The purchase of these panels help to give back to the community by helping to pay for new buildings in the artists' villages.

Very nice original lens, the succulents wreath is one I've never seen before, we have a number of succulents in our home but never would it have crossed my mind that they could be used as a wreath. :)

FAB! Love everything here! :D I like that you have included 'natural' elements that people do not usually think of as holiday decorations yet, they should. Organic Ornamentals! Love it! :D Thanks for the resources, tips, ideas, and inspiration.
