Real Lavender smells wonderful and relaxes me !

 

I make these for myself, for gifts and have some at my local gift shop as well.  The eye mask pillows/sleep masks and neck pillows that are great for travel are all sewn by hand by me.

A local Hubbard, Ohio store owner LOVES my stuff and has a display of them in her store !
Here's what she wrote about my handmade items:

How are YOU trying to be Green ?

Trying to be Green can be so tough
Just finding the materials to make my items - that are both organic AND as local as possible to avoid using so much transportation and fossil fuels... is impossible for some things.

I use my own homegrown (in my organic gardens) herbs and flowers and buy organic fabrics whenever possible for my items.
Finding local organic fabric is tough, so I use quite a bit of vintage fabrics to make my hand-sewn items - at least it is keeping it out of a landfill and I am not buying any new non-organic fabrics.
I also use vintage buttons, trims, lace...

To me, using vintage fabrics and notions is not only being Green, but it also gives handmade items an extra special something too.

Handmade AND Vintage = Beautiful, Useful, and Green too !

Organically Yours,
Diana

More local success for Hubbard Ohio business

Diana's Hand-Sewn and All Natural Products are getting even more popular !

Diana's Hand-Sewn and All Natural Products are getting more local recognition.
Another local Hubbard, Ohio store has asked me to bring in a display of my All Natural handmade products and some of my hand sewn items to sell them in her downtown store right in the center of town.

This lady has a store in town with furniture and other things - she also does interior design...
She found my website and emailed me last week about putting some of my things in her store !
I emailed her back and will go to meet with her next week or so to talk about it.
I hope she knows that it is JUST me and not a whole crew that makes my things and that my hand-sewn items take time and are one-of-a-kind.

I am putting together a nice display of a little bit of everything so she can see them up close and then we will talk percentages and we will go from there.

This is so exciting !

The only problem is that I have been so busy helping my Mom and oldest daughter & helping a friend get her business going that I am way behind in my own work.

I have several folks waiting for my soap to be ready and others are waiting for the herbs for my newest body balm "Baby My Skin" to finish infusing so I can get a batch done.

My perfumes are mostly sold out too and they also take many months to make.

Today is Opening Day for the newest Gift Shop in Hubbard, Ohio

Looking for Natural Gifts ?

Here are a few examples of what you can find there:




The first photo is of a Neck pillow that was hand-cut and hand-sewn from a vintage cotton fabric.

The second photo is of a matching eye mask/eye pillow that was also hand cut and hand sewn by me.

Both are stuffed with real lavender buds (dried lavender flowers) and some fiberfill for a soft and gently scented unique handmade gift.

All of my neck pillows and eye masks are handmade by me and although there may be a few that were made using the same fabric, each one is purposefully unique and designed to be a one-of-a-kind gift.
