With our first snowstorm of the season, it's starting to feel a lot like Christmas....and it should since Christmas is only 6 weeks away! This Christmas season, let's keep it sustainable and eco-friendly. The handcrafted chopping or serving boards by Meipel fit just the bill. Plus, they are as gorgeous as they are functional.

Why did I learn to sew? Financial necessity. : Growing up, it was actually less costly to make your own clothes than to buy them from the store (the Western garment industry hadn’t yet started to outsource work to underdeveloped countries). Lucky for us, my mom was a seamstress and by the time I was a teenager, I had learnt to cut cloth and sew it into anything I imagined. The only hitch was that I despised my homemade clothes. Throughout my teenage years, I longed to wear the store-bought clothes my friends wore. It was only in my 20s that I realized what a gift I had; to be able to design my clothes exactly how I wanted them, to make them so they would perfectly fit my petite frame and my smaller-than-size-A cups 🙄. And recently, I’ve realized that it’s also the perfect way to #saynotofastfashion .... that’s why I’m so happy to pass my knowledge on to my daughters (son is totally not interested 🙄) : Sewing is not for everyone but everyone can and should be a conscious consumer - buy secondhand, buy less, buy quality that lasts.... The price to pay for fast fashion is beyond our wallets. I’ve shared more on this in my stories. : ⠀⠀ In the photo, my daughter is wearing a kurti she made from an old silk saree.

Is autumn being good to you? Here in Montréal, winter has arrived with a gentle wind and tender snow. But it seems our squirrel drama continues... I hear scampering in the air ducts, I think they’ve moved in 😬😬. ⠀⠀ : : : : : : #autumndays #roastedbeets #winterfood #ihavethisthingfordarkness #beautifulfood #asimplelife #aquietstyle #thebeautyofsimplethings #thenewhealthy #wholefood #localfood #autumnharvest #racontetonmarché #marketdays #naturelover #mtlmoments #mtleats #ourfoodstories #seasonschange #seasonspoetry #livethelittlethings #alifewelllived

Last November, while in Antigua, we visited Betty’s Hope, a former sugar plantation. As melancholy as that was, there was a glimmer of hope. We learnt that even when slavery was accepted as “normal” by much of the world, there were ordinary citizens around the globe who quietly revolted by simply buying sugar from elsewhere packaged in containers labeled with “Not Made by Slaves” to display on their tables. These were the early architects of ethical consumerism. Their “small” action did not change a day in the life of a slave but did play an important role in the abolition of slavery. All this to say, what we buy and sell DOES have an impact on the world. : Also, happy birthday to my amazing husband who made this pie a few weeks ago... (I would have the pecans in a scattered mess.) Let’s see now if he actually reads my posts to the end! 😉 ⠀⠀ : : : : : : #pecanpie #autumnpie #fairtrade #ethicalconsumer #ecofriendly #bakefromscratch #homemade #bakingday #foodblogfeed #thebakefeed #autumnvibes #fall #eattheseasons #beautifulfood #flashesofdelight #feedfeed #tastingtable #bonappetit #shareyourtable #f52grams #montreal #seasonspoetry #desiblogger #consciousliving #foodforthought

I called this my eco-friendly gift-wrapping until my six-year-old recently questioned “Why do we need to bother with wrapping anyways?” 🤔 ...always good to have one’s thoughts challenged beyond their boundaries!

I’ve been resisting and rejecting requests to place ads here for awhile now but when I received one from Meipel, resistance was futile. Meipel creates beautiful homewares inspired by nature and the Nordic way of life, all the while advocating living simply and in harmony with nature and incorporating sustainability into every step of their corporate strategy — from the wood they select, to the timeless design and durability of their products, to how they ship their products. : This gorgeous board is truly a rare beauty — handcrafted from a single piece of solid hardwood, crafted to withstand years of chopping and slicing or simply to look stunning as a serving board. Head over to @ateliermeipel to find a board perfect for you. #ad : Shown here is Färm N°4 in Walnut. : : 🇫🇷 Ça fait quelques temps que je résiste et que je refuse les demandes de placer des annonces ici, mais lorsque j'en ai reçu une de Meipel, je ne pouvais plus résister. Meipel crée de beaux articles de maison inspirés de la nature et du mode de vie nordique, tout en préconisant de vivre simplement et en harmonie avec la nature. Ils intègrent la viabilité écologique à chaque étape de leur stratégie d'entreprise: du bois qu'ils sélectionnent, au design classique, à la durabilité de leurs produits, jusqu'à la façon dont ils expédient leurs produits. : Cette magnifique planche est vraiment une beauté rare — fabriquée à la main à partir d’un seul morceau de bois dur massif, conçue pour résister à des années de coupe et de tranchage ou tout simplement pour être superbe en tant que planche de service. Visitez @ateliermeipel pour trouver la planche qui vous convient le mieux. #ad : On voit ici la Färm N°4 en noyer. : : : : #ateliermeipel #nordicdesigns #sustainablecollective #naturalmaterials #faitauquebec #ecofriendlyliving #thebeautyofordinarythings #foresttotable #natureinthehome #handmade #kitchenaccessories #autumn #pumpkinsoup #harvestseason #seasonspoetry #autumnmood #flashesofdelight #foodblogfeed #feedfeed #tastingtable #bonappetit #shareyourtable #f52grams #montreal #montrealmade #faitamontreal
