March at Walrus!
We’ve been so busy in the workshop crafting new things for the home and beyond. Our sewing machines are working overtime creating fabric basket sets and placemats out of our collection of unique fabrics. Our neighbors at MindsEye Vintage were also kind enough to share a beautiful sequined and cross stitched tunic which we transformed into some really special pillows.
The Temescal Alley collaborations don’t stop there! We recently whipped up some sweet herb sachets, sew from upcycled wool blankets, sweaters and linens. The divine organic lavender and rose on the inside is from the wonderful folks at Homestead Apothecary. Pick one of these up to fill your life with the soothing aroma of lavender or rose.
