Nutmeg Spring Spotlight: Bugs

 Everyone say "bees"!

Spring in Connecticut is definitely one of the most enjoyable seasons.  Hot on the heels of what is usually a long and miserable winter, the extra sunshine, warmer temperatures, and blooming foliage are a welcome sight.  However, along with spring comes bugs - a slightly unwelcome sight for most people.  For fans of the insect kingdom, the members of the Nutmeg Collective have come up with the best products to highlight these tiny species.

Treasurypalooza Friday


Each month, the members of the Nutmeg Collective have the option to create a curated collection of items found within our Etsy-based shops in an effort to get to know each others' items and to help show off our beautiful work to others. So much thought and consideration goes into putting these collections together, that we decided to show off some of the top groupings from the past month.

This month we are all about spring and pastel colors!

Friday Finds: Is It Spring Yet?

If you're like me (or pretty much all the people who live here in New England) you are probably at the point where you're ready to see the snow melt and for spring to start springing.  I am ready to see my grass and for the trees to start popping.  Since we are stuck with these frigid temperatures and giant snowbanks for at least a while longer, I thought we'd take a look through the Collective's roster of awesome goods and pick out a few things to get us even more ready for spring:

Wildflower soap!  I know from experience that Treefort Naturals soap smells amazing, so I am loving the fact that this is crafted with dried wildflowers, plus it looks super pretty, too.

Even though it will hopefully be getting warmer soon, you'll still need to keep your little's head covered for awhile.  May I suggest one of these fun and bright ones from tiny mack?
