The items available at Gorgeous and Green are always changing.  We have some new arrivals in preparation for the gift giving season ahead of us.  And, as always, we try to find other sustainably minded artists and folks locally, when possible. I recently brought in some locally made soy candles from Cocibolca, and the purchase of each candle helps save the rainforest!  

We are almost sold out of the wooden ties we got in from Wood Thumb, a small business by two brothers in San Francisco.  Time to reorder! For those in love with tillandsias or airplants, we have new airplant display art in the boutique by JFish designs made right here in Berkeley.  Some small and large clove hanging holders, small wall pockets in various colors and hanging twig vases/holders.

For a special or not so special occasion, we have handmade bow awards from ghost academy. And local repurposed vintage jewelry from La Chat souriant. In preparation for 2012, we have a lovely calendar made by local Young America

Creative artists featuring seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Swing by the boutique and see what's new and looking cool. In Green, Beauty and Health, G&G
