darling eco-friendly necklaces

figs & ginger necklaces

These adorable necklaces by Figs & Ginger are inspired by the forest.

They’re made from at least 50% recycled sterling silver (although they try to use 100% recycled whenever possible). Each necklace has a blackened patina, which means no polishing is required.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, get your order in soon. I’m pretty sure we’ll sell out.

by grounded on April 2, 2010

alice roche jewelryI’ve been admiring Alice Roche’s jewelry for some time and we finally have it in the store! Alice’s jewelry is inspired by both nature and architecture. Handcrafted in her San Francisco studio, from hammered silver with a matte finish. Perfect to wear every day.

Oh, and don’t forget…Mother’s Day is just around the corner!

bella cucina artichoke pestoThese days it’s great to find a solution to make entertaining a little easier. We fell in love with Bella Cucina Artful Food. Everything is hand-made in small batches from high-quality ingredients in the true artisan tradition.

The artichoke pesto is fabulous and a best-seller. Use it in a warm artichoke dip (recipe on the jar), to top pasta, as a bruschetta topping.

For a delicious brunch idea, top a poached egg with the Spinach Artichoke Bruschetta Spread. Or try adding it to an omelette or scrambled eggs.

Bella Cucina also makes a thoughtful hostess gift.

Okay, we know we’re a little late to the party posting this in January but better late than never.
