This season of the year is such a beautiful time. As all the spring foliage blooms, it's such a lovely reminder at just how alive our Mother Earth is. And this Saturday marks Earth Day and I think it's such an important time to reflect the impact that we are making on our planet. Because it is our responsibility to care and nurture for her as she cares, nurtures and provides so bountifully to us. 

I hope there is no doubt that I believe whole heartedly in supporting sustainability in all facets of life, including how to purchase for and decorate our homes. I believe in purchasing used goods and vintage items to try to lessen the cycle of mass production and that belief is a large reason why I started my shop. Because I believe investing in a vintage rug is so utterly worth it. 

And so as I built out my business, it was important to hold this value true to every facet. When I rebranded one of my challenges was creating a suite of print materials that a customer would be excited to receive, that reflected the investment they just made but also that was sourced with materials that reflected my passion for sustainability. So while this may be a dry topic, I want to share with you all how I made choices when selecting vendor partners for my print materials that align with these values.
