Organic Valentine’s Day flowers!

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Many consumers cradling their colorful bouquets don’t realize that close to 70% of cut flowers sold in the USA are grown overseas, where growing conditions are better, but labor is cheaper and pesticide regulation is more lax.

So think about sending organic flowers to your sweetie this Valentine’s Day, or the day after, or for a birthday, etc.

Organic and Ecofriendly Scented Stationery

Friday, March 27th, 2009


Remember way-back-when, or at least in the movies that depict way-back-when? Women would scent their love letters with their favorite perfume to remind their betrothed of all the things that written words can’t convey. Not only has skinnyskinny learned from this approach, we’ve even improved upon it. Our handmade stationery is made entirely from eco-friendly materials and scented with organic essential oils that can be completely personalized. The examples featured above are crafted from an old cookbook (a slightly campy resource, admittedly, but think of all the metaphors for recipes and chemistry in our language– some of them are quite sincere) and treeless paper. The edges of the envelope are sewn. Inside this is the real substance: the scented note that can be as alluring, as seductive, or as innocent as you like. These were custom-made for a client, and if you are interested in your very own set, contact us for pricing and options.
