bought/gift/made 21

BOUGHT
Dr Bronner's Castile Soap (rose)
It gets rave reviews and I'm also giving it a rave review.  It smells divine. It's vegan, with no synthetic ingredients, is nontoxic & biodegradable and still, lathers moisturises and cleanses. Tick Tick.  Our friend recently stocked us up with the dishwashing version and a peppermint version which I'm excited to try out.

MADE
After finishing our mosaic staircase project we were on a mosaic roll and decided to make our house a number plaque.  We're currently training creepers to cover our brick wall so I'm excited when the pop of colour peeks out through the green leaves!

GIFT
An oldie but a goodie.  When Dad was clearing out his Mum's shed (years back now!) I found this lidded basket and asked if I could keep it.  My grandma was a big fan of cane and bamboo - a family love that I've happily inherited.

I've been excited to share this collection of goodies!

In the bought category, white sage incense. I'm a newbie when it comes to all things incense related and even more so in the smudging realm but since purchasing these guys I'm fallen head over heels in love :) We use the incense in our bathroom and honestly there's a simple reason why I love it - so much nicer than those toilet sprays! With the smudging, I found it's my go to thing when I feel like my space needs a refresh.  I light it up and skip around the house and say nice things and it's all pretty fun and happy :) Two things I can get behind! 

I've just used the last incense stick the other day and tracked down a local vegan company who hand rolls their incense.  I'll be sure to give an update after trialing those ones :)

In the gift category - glorious, glorious film, gifted from my lovely friend Emaya! Now there's 100% no excuse to not be shooting film :) :)

And finally, in the made category - CANE! I went on a cane hunting mission with my friend Lowy.

He then taught me how to weave

and hey presto, I made a cane basket *feeling proud*
