Well, September is upon us, and it's one of those times when many of us stop to evaluate our lives. I know I do. And I think I've done okay this summer. We found our new organic local flax farmer, and have switched over to organic flax. We have added lavender spritzers, soaps, bath salts, loose lavender, and gift baskets. We have finally gotten in our bamboo fabric for our heating pads and snuggle buddies. And we have started embroidering our logo onto our heating pads, and making embroidered reclaimed denim handbags.
We're looking forward, too. In the near future, we will be adding wrist rests for those of us who spend inordinate amounts of time at the computer, and luxurious bamboo shirts, hoodies, and sweaters to our line up. It's been a busy summer, and we don't see things changing any time soon!
To make room for our new inventory, check out our blow out specials of our current stock, with all of our heating pads and snuggle buddies at 50% off!
With the sad news of the passing of Linda Nielsen, who helped us procure our government grant, we are donating 10% of all sales during the month of September to the Linda Nielsen Scholarship fund at St. Mary's University in her honour. We would appreciate any help in honouring her memory by your purchases this month.

Adopting Bamboo
Well, I have been terribly lax on my blogging this summer, and I can't imagine I will get all that much better during my final year of University, but I am going to start again. And perhaps I will get a few posts done before life gets away from me again!
The grant has been moving forward, and I am starting to get to my new phase. I have had wonderful feedback on my bamboo fabrics, and just went and picked up my large shipment today.
However, there was a glitch. The bamboo supplier lost their supplier who makes the bamboo satin. Literally. They are apparently lost somewhere in India. This, of course, is problematic, since I now have no supplier for my satin eye pillow material. Of course, I have been frantically combing the web, searching for somewhere new, but have found nothing this side of the Atlantic ocean. So switching to new materials for those will have to wait. If anyone knows of bamboo suppliers in North America, I would love to hear from you!
On the positive side, the bamboo fleeces and velours are amazing, and I love heating one up (yes, even on the warm summer evenings!) to go to sleep, and I find myself waking up hours later, with the heat still retained, and the stress I carry in my shoulders from chasing a two-and-a-half year old all day, having slipped away.
We will soon be blowing out the rest of our merchandise to bring in the bamboo materials for our wonderful "green" lavender heating pads. Which in the summer we also point out are great for sticking in the freezer to cool down on hot summer nights as well.
Well, motherhood calls, but watch for my next post on our new bath salts!
