CasaSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:02:38 -0700

Organic Style, my favorite online destination for eco-friendly flower bouquets, just alerted me that its source for pink oriental lilies is now certified organic. Since Organic Style is so excited about the certification, it bought up the entire crop of pink oriental lilies from the California farm, and it's offering a bouquet of these gorgeous organic lilies to one lucky reader.

Steal of the Day: Early Bird Candle

CasaSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:00:28 -0700

Need some aromatherapy? Try this Early Bird Candle (on sale for $13.77, originally $22.95). Made with essential oils and beeswax instead of synthetic scents, it comes in a delightful Lemon Geranium fragrance. When your candle's been burnt down to within an inch of its waxy existence, you can reuse the 7.5 oz glass for baubles or trinkets.

Other eco chic features of this pretty candle include its use of postconsumer recycled paper for the label, organic farming of the materials used in the candle, and the fact that a portion of the sale proceeds are donated to charity. Even without that incentive, I've got to say that this is a lovely little home accent; I can imagine lighting it in my bedroom to relax after a long day at work.

Add any new additions to your home lately? A new pendant light? Have you wallpapered? Bought a new coat rack? Whatever you're doing, I want to see it!

Show off all of your home views, both interior and exterior, in my group Su Casa, where readers can share snapshots and stories related to home decorating, crafts, organizing, and gardening. A Su Casa post could be anything from a photo of a loved-one's home to a tiny nook you're tickled by. Think of it as a look book for home style. If I see something I like in Su Casa, I might ask you if I can feature it on CasaSugar.

Love It or Hate It? Organic-Style Rocker

CasaSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 04:09:00 -0700

This handmade organic-style rocking chair, made by Bill Biggs in 1972, is fashioned from solid bubinga wood (inquire for price). I think it's absolutely stunning in a Dr.-Who-meets-'70s-commune sort of way. How about you?
