FELTING FRENZY

This pillow is a complete surprise! I don't know what it would be like as a lumbar pillow but as a conversation peice it's a fabulous and whimsical work of art! I want it! It's made of 100% wool and is handmade in South Africa. Viva Terra is a great Fair Trade resource. It's guilt free shopping.

LOOKING LOCAL - OLIVE LEAF

Olive Leaf in Healdsburg is the self described gathering place for the ecologically minded. A great space filled to the brim with collections upon collections of interesting stuff!
The wonderful finds in this store are difficult to categorize … ecologically minded and extremely eclectic!

The numerous items throughout Olive Leaf are artful organic forms arranged in creative collections. The beauty of multiples.

The American Clay display is almost as beautiful as the wall finish itself. This and many other eco friendly building supplies can be found here including the non toxic pet friendly Mythic Paint

The Keesta bed is an innovative recycled Bio-foam mattress without a box spring which can be compressed into a recyclable box for transport. Intriguing

Someone behind the creative direction of the Olive Leaf must have a flair for the French. If you look carefully amidst the collections you find a surprisingly high number of Eiffel tower memorabilia!

There are also numerous blankets and organic clothing items throughout the store. Oh and you can eat there too!

LUXURY REFINED AND TUFTED

The lines of this piece make it almost edible.. the swoooping chocolate curves of the base.. the soft luxury of the tufted top.. You almost don't want to sit on it.. just gaze upon it

SIT A SPELL

Ah, don't we all need a moment or two here.... a calming reminder to get out that summer funiture and plan to soak in the vitamin D. Bon Voyage.. to the back yard for most of us ;)
