gratitude. 💚 this breathtaking glass calligrap

gratitude. 💚 this breathtaking glass calligraphy pen was given to me on my daughter’s birthday. It reminded me of the power of gratitude ... which I think we have all been trying to practice, where & how we can, whilst navigating the challenging landscape of 20/21. - symbolically it celebrates the arrival of my daughter & the beginning of my role as a mother. - it reminds me of the ‘gift of thought’ ... & our responsibility as we share thought - whether by the spoken or written word - aesthetically it makes my heart happy as it captures, holds, & glows with light - & most obviously... it is GREEN in every way possible ... & celebrates my heart driven planet friendly undertaking - @little.greenshop!
(& is undeniably THE PERFECT tool with which to write little green thank you cards!) 🤗💚 - finally, it was gifted to me by a woman who is seemingly lit from the inside with joy, gratitude, & generosity of spirit... 🦋 🦄 🧚🏼‍♀️ 🌞 Thank you @wgitelman for your incredible generosity & support, & for reminding me of the tremendous power of gratitude! * IF you have read THIS FAR ... what is something YOU are grateful for?* much love,
Green t 🙏💚🌷🙏💚🌷🙏💚🌷

still life.
bees wax wraps with blooms 🐝🌷
in sweet wrapped vase?😉 bees wax wraps are wonderfully flexible 🤸‍♀️
LITERALLY, they are super supple - which allows them to be easily molded to whatever food/dish you are wrapping/preserving.
But ALSO flexible as in VERSATILE, for they can be used to WRAP SO MANY THINGS! 1/2 a 🍋 or 🥑 or 🧅
🍪 🍪 🍪’s
🥪 (that’s a sandwich in your kid’s lunch)
a slab of 🧀
... you get the idea Put it over your casserole dish
Fold it into a pocket for fresh 🥬
Wrap it around a loaf of 🥖
Place it over your bowl of rising bread dough OR wrap it around a jar to make a pretty vase for your gorgeous blooms!?! 💐
Abso-bloomin-lutely!! 🐝 I totally stole this idea from Ashley of @mindyourbees ... but I thought it was too pretty not to! 🐝 PLUS, bees wax wraps are biodegradable & compostable = they leave nothing behind ♻️ little green shop carries two VERY LOCAL options...
@mindyourbees in Hamilton & Bee Wise in Niagara on the Lake
(dimensions & prints are slightly different) Both are 🐝-you-tee-full.
& both are super simple to use -
Wrap it. Wash it. Reuse it.
& repeat repeat repeat 💚🐝💚

💡In the spotlight💡
the small but mighty 💪 (drum roll please)...
little green shop HOME DEPARTMENT! 🥳💚 I feel like a negligent parent... favouring one child over another. celebrating, showcasing, & fawning over the Body Products like they’re child prodigies. Meanwhile the home products have sat dejected, neglected, & oh so sad in the shadows. Well today is THEIR DAY ... to shine brightly in the spotlight & to strut their stuff on the red carpet.
(But please don’t ask them who they’re wearing ... cuz some are - as you can see - not wearing anything at all🤫). First up ...
little green (& gorgeous) ceramics:
REFILLABLE soap dispensers, modern jugs, & petite vases. (more shampoo/conditioner bar dishes will be arriving soon!) @kayceramicdesign Swipe for aisle 2 of little green home dept.
soy candles, laundry products, & bees wax food wraps & just round the bend is ... aisle 3 -
sponge cloths, eco sponges, bulk liquid dish soap & cleaning TABS!! (dishwasher, all purpose, & toilet). 🚽💚 As I said - small but mighty... 💪💚
& gosh darn pretty as they bask in the spotlight ... some blissfully ignorant to the fact that they are utterly naked. ☺️ 👀 check out your old school, neighbourhood eco shop today! link in bio! 🚴💨 💚🌿🌺💚🌿🌺💚🌿🌺💚🌿🌺

Poems to the world? 🌍
To a loved one?
To oneself? Here is one of my favourite poems from the deeply astonishing and inspiring Mary Oliver.
(If you are not familiar with her work… I highly recommend a deep dive! 🌊🐬
You will resurface refreshed and invigorated ... with eyes w i d e open. My work is loving the world.
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird—
equal seekers of sweetness.
Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums.
Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still half-perfect? Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished.
The phoebe, the delphinium.
The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture.
Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here, which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart
and these body-clothes,
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy
to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam,
telling them all, over and over, how it is
that we live forever. have a love-ly Thursday!
