All Natural At Tiber Rivers

Today I thought I would blog about a little company I am in love with...and I really do love them! I was introduced to this store by my sister a couple of years ago, skeptical at first, I did some digging around and began to realize this is just the kind of all natural items I want to be using in my home. 

Tiber Rivers started 1n 1999 by a stay at home mom who was determined to quit her day job and stay at home to raise her daughter. She started out by making soaps her Nana taught her. Selling to friends and family her business took off. Today Tiber River Naturals is a thriving business that manufactures their own body products, fruit and veggie wash as well as room and linen sprays using natural, environmentally friendly ingredients.

Go on over to their website, You wont be disappointed! Tiber River Naturals


Note: Tiber River's mission is simple - have fun, be unique and rise above what drags you down. They do not use the following:  parabens, harsh chemicals, sodium laurel or laureth sulphates, or petroleum.  Tiber River's products are phosphate free and they use a food grade preservative. 

Thats all for now!

Monday Mentions

How was everyone's weekend? 
Mine was pretty eventful. We went to my cousins wedding on Saturday and on Sunday we went to the forks market with my dad and aunties. LOVE the market! We went across the market to the Johnston terminal to visit an antique shop..first time I have been there and not my last...so much to see in there I would need the whole day just to look..amazing finds that I am sure my bank account will drop some.

Last but not least...saving the best for last.... Here is my Monday mention:

                                           how to make a fabric windsock garden lantern

I am going to give this a try, but instead of using it for the outdoors, I will be making one for my bedroom...cant wait to give it a try!

Embroidery thread makes me happy!

Just what the title says....how can you not be happy when you have so many yummy bright colors to look at.

                                                                    I just love color!


I found this idea on Martha Stewart's website, I might just have to make my own version of it.

I found these on Etsy. I like that they are handmade and not mass produced. I think I will be sticking to these from now on.
