Biome

I recently discovered Biome, the website of a fantastic eco friendly store in Brisbane, and managed to drop quite a bit of money there today.

I bought a bunch of these ceramic decorations, made by a Brisbane designer, Kylie Johnson of Paper Boat Press.

I bought these gorgeous stars for our mothers, which I think will look fantastic on their gifts:



I bought this Peace on Earth bird (dove?) to tie onto my best friend's present:


And a few of the spotty stars for myself:


While I was there, and to take advantage of their free shipping, I also bought my dad some eco friendly golf tees, derived from biodegradable corn-based polymers, some beautiful looking soaps to give with the knit washers I'm planning on making as spare gifts and some baby things for the nephling.

I'm also planning on buying eco friendly hampers from there as corporate gifts from my day job this year, they have some fantastic options that I'm sure anyone would love to receive. I know I'd be stoked with any one of them, but especially this one.

Wow! Thanks for the link the the awesome store. They have a fair few items that I have been looking for, like hemp twine and native spices. I am so impressed I am going to walk uptown on my lunchbreak today to try to find the bricks 'n' motar store. Yeah :-)
