Yesterday I posted about these
porcelain tortoise and hare banks from
Uncommon Goods that in my opinion would make a wonderful baby shower gift, and at
$22-24 they are also a great deal!
Uncommon Goods is a wonderful source for gifts for everyone in the family and a very unique source for those expecting a little one on the way. For more of their baby specific gifts, please click
here. And if you have an older child on your list to shop for, they have gifts for a
variety of ages too.
Uncommon Goods is a great source for interesting and affordable items to
fill your home, find unique baby gifts, and never seen before surprises for family and friends.
I recently received the
People Towels and
Repurposed Layered Wood Frame from
Uncommon Goods to give a try in our new home. Both of these products are attractive, functional, and sustainable. I am all for beautiful things and high quality design, and when these things can be green and sustainable too then I'm even happier!
I have to admit that I'm a repeat offender of the "paper towel club." I use way too many of them and this has become both a financial and an environmental problem in our household! Since getting these People Towels I have used them for everything from wiping down counters, drying my hands, and wiping out baby bottles. These reusable towels are a great gift for yourself or any friend who has a paper towel problem like I used to!
I was also lucky enough to receive this beautiful and sustainable frame that is made from
re-purposed wood...
On the package of the frame it says, "It was the barn for the square dance on Saturday night / It was the front porch to rock on / The only thing worse than tearing down an old building is not re-using the wood that created its beauty." Can you think of a place that you have loved that had to be torn down or demolished? I sure can...and I love the idea of the wood that housed so many lives and special moments being repurposed as a way to save those moments, our memories, in time.
I decided to use this old wood frame to showcase a new beginning in my life - the walk down the aisle at our rehearsal, the day before our wedding. Here it is on my bedside table.
And close up...
Isn't it pretty?!
