February

Is a stalled month in my opinion. I am feeling, and I don't think I am alone, immobilized by all of this SNOW. It is beautiful- really it is- but there is a point where I no longer think of it as a thing to play in. Okay, thats it, just a little whine, and you wont hear any more from me.

On a positive note we have filled toe shop with little bits of spring! Verbena is the scent to be surrounded with. And all the spring wreaths. We even brought out this cute little black bamboo dress complete with sunhat because it really is coming. Finalize your garden plans we will be digging in the dirt before we know it! 

I've been inside all week

  I just read that average Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. Levels of pollution inside the home and be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels. Homes have become tighter and more energy efficient- this is great! And it makes it all the more important to let fresh air in and be careful about what pollutants and toxic chemicals are allowed into our homes through household cleaners, paints, dry cleaned clothes, bedding, personal care products, etc.

 At The Pear Tree we are making a commitment to reduce exposure to unnecessary chemicals and pollutants- for the benefit of the environment and personal health. Our intention is to become  resource for a greener cleaner healthier home.
