As we mark Earth Day this week, we'd like to take the opportunity to remind you lovely human that shopping local is one way you can actively cut down on the waste and emissions that are suffocating our poor planet. We, in turn, support other small, independent artists and makers, completing the circle of sustainability. It's what Mother Earth would want you to do. Just saying.

Answer the questions and you'll be left with a blueprint for a space to finally call home.

Big Sur is a summer stunner, combining the scents of cedar, sandalwood, musk, smoke, and sea salt air. The result is reminiscent of driving down Highway 1 with the windows down, breathing in the fresh ocean air mixed with the giant redwoods and campfires from the Big Sur cabins.

Sempli’s exquisite Monti-Bianco stemless white wine glasses are crafted from ultra clear, lead-free crystal, with a peaked center showcasing the inspiration of the Italian Alps.

Now, where was I ...?
9. ACCESSORIES
K/ller Collection’s stunning hand-cast recycled brass feather earrings are a bold statement. Inspired by nature, you’ll get compliments every time you wear these beauties.
10. ART
Brooklyn-based artist Mel Reese’s most recent abstract work is informed by lines, shapes, colors, and textures, and inspired by nature. By building up sheer layers of monochromatic forms, she gives each painting a sculptural quality as well as a sense of depth.
