my visit to Live ‘n Nature
Monday is my day-off (basically meaning i do work outside of the store rather than in the store), and i decided to head over to my friend Gretchen’s new store : Live ‘n Nature.
(this is one of Gretchen’s original designs)
Live ‘n Nature is Gretchen and her mother’s brainchild of providing natural, fair trade toys and products for kids from all over the world. A breath of fresh air and safety since the recalls and warnings we have been getting from toy makers over the past couple of years.
(that’s Gretchen in the corner trying to avoid the camera-got you!)
I love their cute and quaint space filled with natural, solid wood shelves, and warm earth tones on the walls…they really make the bright colored stuffed animals and toys jump like the one below, an instrument that is played with marbles!
(awesome colors right!)
(natural building blocks made from logs!)
Give them a visit in Mission Viejo, you can also see some of their goods here at the store soon!
