Karen Young’s eclectic southern shop, Hammocks and High Tea, offers fanastic gifts for the sustainably minded shopper. Having spent her childhood in South America, Karen grew up influenced by a blend of British and Caribbean culture.
Her passion for the culture comes through in some of the gorgeous pieces that she carries, such as the beautifully designed tea towels. Inspired by her memories and travels, Hammocks and High Tea line definitely evokes sunny imagery of open air markets and lush tropical, lazy days of summer.
The pieces in the home goods collection are made with organic fabrics, including hemp, soy and organic cotton. Each product is made by hand, and printed using water based, solvent free inks.
I love the Indian Summer tea towel in Nigella (shown left) decorated with bold Hibiscus for $13 online. It’s the perfect hostess gift.
What a neat little company! I think it important for consumers to support businesses that benefit the environment. For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.
