birdhouses
Monday, September 15th, 2008What is Mindful Commerce? Well, it is lots of things… it includes high-quality, locally-produced, hand-crafted items from recycled materials. Take these birdhouses for example. The seven planet store in Priest River is over 100 years old. As the design and construction team was renovating the building, they carefully set a aside any materials, such as lumber scraps, that could be re-purposed. 100% of the wood in these birdhouses (except for the twigs, which were collected from the base of of local trees) is from the lumber scraps salvaged from the store’s renovation. Does this mean that there is a limited quantity of these birdhouses available? Yep, just like the earth’s natural resources, they are limited in quantity and should be cared for accordingly.
