After a wonderful time at the Green Festival in SF this past weekend, we discovered a plethora of dynamic startups focused on a greener and brighter future. One of our favorites was Salvador’s Garden, an upcylced home goods line founded by artist John Waguespack.

One of the most interesting things about Salvador’s Garden is that their fabric is made of 100% recycled post-consumer plastic bottles, which also wears 7 times longer than traditional cotton material. When our BBrooks associate first examined the fabrics, she couldn’t believe that it was recycled from plastic bottles as they were so soft and impossible to distinguish from traditional cotton fabrics.

Waguespack was inspired by the works of Salvador Dali, a surrealist painter. Salvador’s Garden is a derivate of Waguespack’s original painting, My Salvador, as the garden, flowers, and animals were all transformations from the original portrait. These bold and intricate graphics were minimal in their approach, drawing the viewers in seeing the complexity of the design, and best described as “the perfect marriage of fantasy and simplicity”.

Salvador’s Garden was recently successfully funded on Kickstarter and you can visit their new winter collection here: http://salvadorsgarden.com/

 Our 20-inch fresh, traditional handmade wreath is the season’s perfect gift.

As the wreath ages, enjoy the natural color changes of the magnolia leaves.

First proclaimed as Armistice Day by President Woodrow Wilson, November 11, 1919 at 11AM signified the end of World War I and was established as a holiday to honor the veterans that fought valiantly. By 1954, President Eisenhower changed the name from Armistice Day to Veterans day to honor and encompass all those who served in the armed forces. The celebration day of Veterans Day has been changed historically, but it is now observed on Nov. 11 regardless of the day of the week it falls.

For European countries, it is recognized as Remembrance Day or Poppy Day; countries such as France and Belgium hold their day of remembrance on the 11^th of November while others like the United Kingdom celebrate it on the Sunday closest to the date.

Poppies have since held a special place in Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day as the war poem, “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae reference the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers as the poppy was one of the only plants to grow on the barren battlefields. Small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing for a weeks prior to Nov. 11 and poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials. Today, the American Legion Auxiliary distributes crepe-paper poppies in donations around Veteran’s Day.
