Your Tangible Shopper: Country Life Naturals

Your Tangible Shopper: Country Life Naturals

December 29, 2010 |  by Brooke Tansley

Here at TheLOH we try to live as green as we can on a budget, and often times that means replacing disposable items with a long lasting option. I found Country Life Naturals on Etsy and picked up a bunch of their food-safe nylon lined bags. Now the only time in our lives that we need ziplocks is for trips to the airport. Visit Country Life Naturals here.

From the shop:

I love taking vintage textiles and organic textiles and turning them into something fun and useful. They are ECO Friendly and the textiles are strong and beautiful.


*****A WORD ABOUT MY TEXTILES****


All of the textiles I work with are organic. I choose them very carefully so they are safe for your family and mine. My shop offers not only a Great way to BE GREEN but a unique way to introduce a little bit of history into your everyday life.

It has worked with my family. My kids just love learning about all the different textile histories. Teaching them to reuse,up cycle, and renew just makes good Earth sense.

I offer both unlined (breathable) and lined bags and sacks. The linings are:
1. A food safe water proof nylon which means no PVC, no phthalates, no BPA, and no lead………I have not sealed the seams to make them water-proof.
2. An Organic Cotton. Anywhere you see a lined bag and you want Organic cotton lining instead, just put a note to the seller upon purchase and I will substitute it for you.
3. An Organic Linen Lining works great for home bread storage.

I also have an assortment of bags and sacks, coasters, napkins and cozy bowls.

These are easy care, made to last designs. Unlined items are finished with “french” seams which adds to the strength and beauty.

I package all of my items in recycled paper. My children help me with this.

Note: We haven’t received a thing from Country Life Naturals – we just think that their stuff is the bees knees and wanted you to know about ‘um!
