Featured Collections:
Anne of Green Gables:
All products we carry from Prince Edward Island, Canada!
Home to the well loved story of that beloved spirited island girl, with red hair, Anne Shirley. Lovely products from the other Atlantic Maritime Provinces are included as well. Products we carry that reflect life here on PEI, like swimming, fishing, farming, sailing, having picnics and other fun outdoor activities, as well as the animals who live here, are included too.
This collection is in homage to our new home here on the Island! It is growing, and suggestions are most welcome.
Eco-Friendly Home Products:
Most products in this collection are proudly offered by Canadian companies, and as much as possible, products are made in Canada.
From Lunch and Snack wraps made with Organic Cotton, in Montreal by OKO Creations, and Beeswax wraps by Clapham's on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia, to Laundry products and Kitchen Soaps made in Toronto, to a selection of Kitchen and Bathroom products made from sustainable Bamboo. We are also excited to carry so many reusable home products!
For an Eco-friendly Home look for plastic-free options. Our planet and our children deserve nothing less. Please let us know of other Eco-Home products you wished we carried. Contact us at waldorflifeathome@gmail.com
