Compassionate Cosmetics and Sustainable Gifts

Submitted by Chia on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 8:08pm.

An online search revealed that Radiance sells Peace Keeper cosmetics. Healthy to use, cruelty free, and fair trade products.

I'm so sad that Whirligig closed. That was one of the most environmentally sound concepts for a store I've ever seen. And I'd just discovered the store!! Lovely gifts, too. I bought several hand-made plantable paper cards with flower seeds in them and now have no idea how to get more of the cards, which made wonderfully mailable gifts. Any ideas?

Thank you...

This is similar to the cards carried by Whirligig and I like them although I would like to give my business to the same local creator of those cards, if possible. So I'll definitely keep these in mind if I'm unable to connect with that artist :)

I'll check with Christine

I'll check with Christine and see if she has websites or emails for her artisans. One of the really cool things about Whirligigs was that it gave a regular location for local artisans to sell their stuff. Maybe at least something could be posted about their work so folks can reach them.

I've gotten them at Traditions before. I don't know if they still have them.

Thanks for the tip! :)

Pike Place market.....

an artist that has handcrafted paper sells them. I think his booth is called "Silver Lining Paper." Anyway, if you cannot find them in town...you will not have to go without.

Yes - it's silver lining paper

And he's in the little outcropping on the top floor (at least he was when I was there) - here's a rough map:

Marisha Aurbach(I think I spelled her last name wrong), she does perma-culture training in town among other things, supplies BHB with card locally made right here in Oly. I have some in stock and I have contact number for her if want it.

Thanks for the lead...

Is BHB a business here in town and is that where you have the cards stocked?
