Just in is our new collection of recycled glass bowls. The glass is sorted by color, melted and mouth blown by artisans in Europe into the various fluid shapes and soft aquatic colors reminiscent of sea glass.
Each bowl is heavy and great for everyday use as a salad or fruit bowl. Simply hand wash when done.
Besides the ones in this image, we also have starfish, clams and oblong bowls available. Since no two are alike, they are available only through contacting or visiting the store. $20-$100.

"Come fry with me, a test of 7 eco sunscreens"
Not brave enough to suffer the various forms of sunburn possible testing the market’s most natural sunscreens, our hats are off (but they shouldn’t be in this sun) to the team at www.grist.org for their scientific, humorous and sometimes painful eco-sunscreen trial.
“Over the last several weeks, Grist staffers scooped up several of the readily available eco-brands—four sunscreens, which protect by absorbing ultraviolet rays, and five sunblocks, which provide a physical barrier on your skin—and tested them on our sun-deprived flesh. From the wan streets of Seattle to the blazing beaches of the Dominican Republic, we ventured out with nothing between us and the sun but some eco-promises.”
To find out which ones passed the test, visit “A sizzling test of seven eco-sunscreen brands”
