New Eco-friendly Creations in our MontanaSolarCreations Etsy Shop

In addition to settling into our new homestead this last month, we've also been busy restocking our Etsy shop with several new eco-friendly creations. These new creations are all things our family uses on a daily basis and will help you live a more "green" lifestyle!

The biggest change you will notice in our Etsy shop is expanding the sets of cloth napkins we sell. For the last year we've made the unpaper towels/cloth napkins that have a layer of thick, absorbent terry cloth fabric on the back; these work great but some folks wanted a lighter weight option for sticking in kids lunch bags.

You will now find a variety of two sided flannel cloth napkins in some very fun print fabrics.  We sell them in sets of 5, 10 and 1 dozen. There are also sets for boys, girls, gender neutral and a mixed family pack! Here are some of the fun sets we offer:

Gratitude Sunday 10-20-2013

Today we are joining Taryn at Wooly Moss Roots for Gratitude Sunday. 

Despite being very busy with chores and projects around our new homestead, I've been taking time each day to think about all the things I am grateful for. I've read two articles this last week with tips on how to live a happier life and both cited the practice of expressing gratitude as a key element.

Some days I have the time to sit down and write in my gratitude journal but most days I just find myself thinking about my gratitudes and that is simply enough to bring a sense of joy and contentment to my soul.

Here are a few things I've been grateful for recently:

-The beauty of watching storms in the mountains move across the valley

-Unpacking more boxes and making our new house feel more like home.

-Seeing more rainbows in the last few weeks than we have seen all year- quite often we even see double rainbows!

-Renewing the energy we put into our Etsy shop after our move and meeting our goal to have over 100 listings again. 

-My new daily practice of taking the dogs for a walk in the pasture at sunrise and sunset. Taking a little quiet time by myself each day has been so good for my soul. Such a wonderful way to start and end the day!
