Welcome, September/October Sponsors - Part 2

Welcome to all new sponsors from Eco Etsy Team! This month we will continue to enjoy a lot of first-time eco-friendly and sustainable sponsors on Kanelstrand Organic Living.

Take a moment to check their online shops and blogs, you will be surprised by the diversity and talent you will see! Don't miss the discount codes they offer especially for Kanelstrand readers. I also encourage you to follow them on Twitter or Facebook to be the first to get information about discounts and sales directly from them.

Manilla Extract
I was born to a Filipino father and an American mother and raised in the American South, thus Manila Extract is more or less a play on words. I'm a little bit island girl and a little bit country all wrapped up with a southern drawl. I've lived most of my life in N.C. but after being married in Maui and many years of hard work, my husband and I made HI our home in 2008.

I bought my first Hawaiian coffee sack with intentions to frame it. Instead I made it into a handbag and I've been making them ever since. I get great satisfaction in promoting the local coffee farmers of Hawaii while repurposing and recycling Hawaiian coffee bags. The words and art displayed on these coffee sacks tell stories as well as perpetuate the history of Hawaiian grown coffee. Customers tell me they buy my handbags out of emotion, they bring back memories of family vacations, honeymoons and times spent in Hawaii - they bring to memory people’s 'life stories”♥.

Dainty Hippo
shop | facebook
After spending many years in the stressors of academia and science, I burned out after graduating college a few short years ago. Since then, I've taken the time to pursue the more creative aspects of myself that had been squelched for years. My mother bought me a sewing machine for Christmas and that unleashed my obsession for creation.

I love sewing and actually prefer to make things for myself than buy them in stores. I've become obsessed with using recycled materials in my work. For example, I saw a bunch of old battered vintage school books about to be throw out. I loved the paper and wanted to give the books a new home. That began the vintage book flower line in my shop. I make other accessories and home decor items using other materials as well and am constantly inspired with new ideas to expand my brand.
