opening an order from one of my brilliant supplier

opening an order from one of my brilliant suppliers is often like Christmas morning.
& the box that arrived yesterday from @twoacrefarm.collingwood was no exception. first, the wonderful fragrance that rushes forth to greet the nose like somehow the box magically contains SPRING
but the scent is emanating from the bottom layer ... yet to be revealed
what the eye first encounters is the top layer …
a splendid array of eco sponges,
each sporting its handsome recycled coffee sac with élan
each one utterly unique
& why does this delight me so?
because someone - KAREN - had the imagination, the ingenuity - not to mention the environmental savvy - to use her own two hands to create #repurposed, #functional, #compostable #ecoart.
F'ing BRILLIANT.
👏 🌟💚 & that's only the top layer. dig down to reveal layer two ...
‘the garden' from whence the aforementioned fragrance comes.
oh hello beautiful botanical soaps - dandelion grapefruit & shave (aka clove & peppermint)
with your wonderful rich organic hues
again handcrafted by Karen & her partner Gord,
often incorporating herbs & flowers from their garden ...
& YES! they do live on two acres! like i said ... a box of delights ... akin to Christmas morning. i mean, i could've just written RESTOCK.
but where's the fun in that? 👉have you tried any of these sublime Two Acre Farm offerings?
if you feel so inspired, please share your experience below.👈

little green ‘book of love’. ‘You’ve take

little green ‘book of love’.
‘You’ve taken root in my heart’ is pg 1. Valentine’s Day gift packages will be shared soon. But in the interim I wanted to share a VDay creation I have been working on.
Handcrafted out of found birch bark, repurposed fabric scraps, paper, string, a sprinkling of imagination + a whole lotta love. The final ‘page’ of the book is a pocket … so you can include your own love letter to your beloved … whoever he, she, they, them may be. ‘little book of love’ can be added to a gift box or, to my way of thinking, they make a pretty sweet little gift on their own. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💘💝

hello. for those of you who don’t know, my name

hello.
for those of you who don’t know, my name is Tara (tar-ah).
I am the founder of little green shop.
the inspiration behind this venture is my daughter - Eliana.
I am an actress, & environmental advocate, & a proud mother ...
i am also a quester, a questioner, & at times curious georgette. usually i am found in 'forward motion' - a go-getter, a DOer
but these days i am feeling quiet ... s l o w ...
these days i am feeling 'horizontal' is a good position ...
whether submerged in a tub by flickering candlelight
on the couch with the journey of a good book within my grasp
or simply lying on the living room floor basking in the morning sun perhaps i am taking my cue from the winter landscape -
hibernating in its glistening blanket of snow.
or perhaps i am finally learning to deep dive & honour the needs of my being.
whatever the reason ... it feels right - like a sweet sigh of letting go ... like a soft, gentle landing. we are all contending with so much right now
carrying much weight upon our shoulders & uncertainty upon our brows so today, on this truly SUNnyDAY
i send us all a warm whisper of a love letter ...
i wish us all sweet pockets of
[ quiet & s l o w ]
wee nooks of delicious hibernation.
may we all take care of ourselves & eachother
in the most beautiful way we know how. with love, tara ❄️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❄️

As I stepped out into the winter wonder land this

As I stepped out into the winter wonder land this morning, the world magically silent under its fresh blanket of snow, it occurred to me that every step I took left a new print underfoot.
It reminded me that yes! the new year is a time of new possibilities, new resolutions, new ways … ultimately new beginnings. But so too is every step we take - every footprint we lay - holds the potentiality of new perspective … ie every moment is of itself a ‘new year’.
Somehow this delights & excites me. I wish us all beautiful new beginnings for 2022!
May our new chapters be rich & inspiring, our new windows kaleidoscopes to incredible landscapes, & our new understandings bring us deep peace & closer to our personal truth. I am tremendously grateful for all your support as we traversed the truly wild terrain of 2021, & I so look forward to laying new footprints, together, in 2022.
🦶 ❄️ 🦶 Much love,
Tara💚
