Quebec artisans series, number 2, GoEco

She's from Montreal, Quebec, and she create environmentally friendly products!
She has everything to please me!
GoEco is her first shop on Etsy.

You will find in this store lunch totes, sandwich bags and snack bags that are washable and reusable, coffee sleeves, and other nice products.



I bought two reusable sandwich bags and I love them! The quality is impeccable, the fabrics are very good! A charming alternative to disposable bags!



She has also recently opened a second shop on etsy:  Sewbuz.   Here you will find a fine selection of gifts, accessories, and kid's items.  She create diaper bags, burp cloth, security blanket, clothes and accessories. There are also some accessories for adults including this cosmetic bag that I love!



I highly recommend this shop! You'll be delighted to combine new green habits with pride to have beautiful products.

My last purchases on Etsy

Here are some treats that I have bought recently on Etsy ....


This adorable little thing made me gaga! In addition, it has a name ... Poko
I gave Poko to my daughter for her birthday. I'd have kept for me ... :) :)
You will find many more pretty faces in this wonderful shop:


Shhh! Do not tell, but Santa Clause will bring this pretty catapult for my son for Christmas .... I can't wait to see what happens next!
For wooden toys, made a detour to this shop:


I bought this beautiful necklace and I love it! I admit it's my favorite by these days ... It is difficult to choose from this wonderful shop:
It is certain that I will return!


Last but not least .... I was not able to resist to this photo! I love the colors and the beauty of this view! It is now framed and sits proudly in my house.

New series of posts about Quebec crafters!

You will find on my blog a new series of articles about Quebec artisans. Their talents are fantastic and I am pleased to present them!


We begin this week with Paisley Baby.

This Quebec crafter made beautiful bags and accessories for baby.

She works in collaboration with his mother. Paisley Baby is a happy blend of the love of fabrics and experience of 50 years of sewing!
Since 2002, they all make any sort of fabric bags and unique accessories for babies.
Located near Montreal, their products are sold on Etsy and I-Craft.



You will find in their shop wet bags, zipper pouches, baby bibs, blankets and hooded towels. The fabrics used are simply adorable!

I love their bags, they are practical and usable for any kind of way.
As a mom, I loved having a few bibs (.... unfortunately my youngest is 4 years old ...).  It is difficult to choose among all those proposed, I invite you to visit their shop and add it to your favorites.

With over 700 sales on Etsy, we can say with assurance that their work is a success!
Congrats!



You can find Paisley Baby on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
You can also see an interview (in french) I did with her HERE.
