GIVEAWAY ENDED AND COMMENTS ARE CLOSED.
THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING.
I am so glad you came to my House Warming Party! Now that you are here, we can start the party!
As you know, I’ve been looking to move for awhile and…
Ta da! I finally found this nice piece of real estate.
Isn’t it pretty?
Not only is this home new, my store, ecokaren, is also new too…just in case you haven’t visited lately.
So get a glass of champagne, grab some hors d’oeuvre and have a grand tour of my new humble abode.
Although you can still smell the paint drying on the walls (no VOC, of course), I will continue to have my usual articles on Eco Tips, Eco Tutorials, Wordless Wednesdays, and Fabulous Friday Featured Sellers (I have some amazing artists coming up who will be featured. I think some of them will be you, I’m sure.) But as you can see, Tips and Tutorials are clearly marked upstairs now so you won’t get lost trying to find them.
And introducing a brand new room is:
Product Review. Click on it and see what’s in there. And let me know if you want to be the very first one to be featured! I’ll be glad to give you an extra boost.
Shops. But most importantly, I have my two shops upstairs on the right, in their own rooms. Aren’t they cool? If you click on them, they will bring you right to the store so you don’t have to type the address to get there. You definitely can’t say, “I got lost”, so make sure you go and shop!
Ecogeneration (my first love) will now feature eco-friendly supplies and destash items from my studio. If I am having a mental block and can’t think of anything to do with some things, I will put them there so that YOU can use them to create marvelous things. I am not pricing their true cost but for the time organizing them, and in some cases, packaging them. So take a look and see what kind of treasure is listed there.
Ecokaren is the new but old shop where I will continue to feature my eco friendly creations. I have to admit, I’ve been hesitating to list items there because I was anticipating this move. So, be little patient with me while I go back and forth, stocking the store. It’s been really rough learning the ropes on building this new home. But I think I’m ready to get back to “creating” and not “building.” (kinda, sorta the same thing, but you know what I mean.)
To celebrate my new home, I am having a HUGE Eco Spa Package Giveaway. It contains my Organic Washcloth and Reusable Makeup Remover Pad, Happy Goat Milk Soap, Organic Lavender Rose Lotion Bar, Flaxseed/Lavender filled Eye Mask and oodles of eco friendly samples! – this is just a little peek of some items included in the package.

Hello !
Hi! I found your blog via the Etsy Giveaways blog, and I’m glad I did! I’ve added your shop to my Etsy favorites — you have so many beautiful and reasonably-priced items, which I’ll comment about in a minute to get a few more entries.
First, I love the placemat/cloth napkin/utensil pouch set! The bright green and navy blue is gorgeous! I’d buy a whole set of the placemats and napkins for my table.
Also, the organic cotton washcloths look so soft and snuggly. I don’t know why there aren’t more crocheted washcloths out there.
Awesome giveaway.
I bet that soap smells great. Thanks for the giveaway.
