Happy New Year! As we enter into 2011 it is always nice to look back and reminisce about all of the great things 2010 brought. Since this was my first year finding and writing about amazing "nature inspired" products I am excited to re-post the products that got the most attention. I would also like to highlight a few of my personal favorites.
I must also thank the wonderful artisans that make these unique and innovative products. I was able to connect with many fantastic people from all over the world and hope to continue to promote and discover more talent.
Last but not least.......I would like to thank those of you, my friends and family, who read, comment and promote this blog- THANKS!
2010 in Review
Plain cupcake wrappers are for the birds.
I think these cupcake wrappers will even make my cupcakes taste better :) What a delight. These Meisha-Bird with cherry blossom cupcake wrappers can be found at Bella Cupcake Couture.

I couldn't say it better myself, these hats are "so hip, so stinkin' cute, so original". Custom made owl hats can be personalized for each precious little head. Even better, these upcycled hats are created from patching sweaters, blankets and scarves with purposefully reveal seams, stitches and raw edges. Not to worry, they are carefully and professionally constructed to last beyond the winter chill. Lovingly made by
Freckeltree. Find it on
Etsy.com.
