Even reading the Napa Valley Bath Co. web page is inspiring, and it becomes quickly evident just how much of their own love, life and laughter goes into the things they make. It makes us all very proud to be one of the carriers and promoters of such pure and honest products from people with such a passion for what they make!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Napa Valley Bath Co. has an impressive selection of spa-worthy goods that would rival any other brand out there on the market. The only difference is that with Napa Valley Bath Co. you're going organic and, well, who doesn't like that?! Try any of their products from the Pink Himalayan Sea Salt to their Organic Lavender Bath Tea, Sea Salt Scrubs to Lavendar Sugar Scrubs! We assure you - you won't be disappointed, but you might be a little spoiled after pampering yourself so well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gcExhLCGkAY/TEd_WimnqyI/AAAAAAAAAmo/HTOXSTV5Qy0/s1600/napavbathco2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gcExhLCGkAY/TEd_WimnqyI/AAAAAAAAAmo/HTOXSTV5Qy0/s320/napavbathco2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;If I had to choose a favorite product from their line it'd be their Lavender Body Butter. Not only is the scent of lavendar subtle and sweet without being overpowering, the texture of it is just indescribably silky and doesn't leave any greasy or oily feeling behind after you use it. Your skin just feels soft and healthy! It keeps my skin so soft I don't think I could go back to using anything else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This would definitely be my recommendation for anyone, especially as a gift. I think anyone would agree, this stuff just makes you feel good all over!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8731465949144518478-6663070697225295767?l=tokyocreatorsgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tokyocreatorsgarden.blogspot.com/feeds/6663070697225295767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://tokyocreatorsgarden.blogspot.com/2010/07/getting-natural-in-napa-valley.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8731465949144518478/posts/default/6663070697225295767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8731465949144518478/posts/default/6663070697225295767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tokyocreatorsgarden.blogspot.com/2010/07/getting-natural-in-napa-valley.html' title='Getting Natural in Napa Valley'/><author><name>NEW PEOPLE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gcExhLCGkAY/TI1IoPf5y-I/AAAAAAAAAsY/8T0yGt8Yfew/S220/yokoyama+mask+red+white+and+blue.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gcExhLCGkAY/TEeAbwj36eI/AAAAAAAAAmw/qzDKnUDFHVA/s72-c/napavbathco1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731465949144518478.post-827481977069403708</id><published>2010-07-19T20:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-20T12:40:58.668-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Takara Gallery Presents...</title><content type='html'>We recently got our hands on some awesome new t-shirt designs and we can't wait to share them with you all!

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;a&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;rticle by Mykel Newton from Botanic Gifts&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You may have noticed the blooming movement of terrariums popping up in various gardening &amp;amp; furnishing catalogs, home décor magazines, online and even locally.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Just search the word “Terrarium” to find 2,160,000 hits for the topic. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The renewed interest is a direct result of our culture's progress toward greener living and indoor gardening.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Believe it or not, it is a craft that has been around for over 175 years.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It all began in the 1820’s by Nathaniel Ward, an English physician, who had a passion for Botany and by accident discovered ferns growing in dirt at the bottom of an enclosed glass jar.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Ward pursued his discovery and by the 1860’s, the Wardian case began to transform into works of art.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Every Victorian household in the United States was not without a miniature elaborate pavilion full of living plants.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In the 1960s &amp;amp; 1970s, terrariums made a strong presence.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Like the fashions of the time, they were awkward and peculiar designed in old milk jugs, fish tanks, and water jugs.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The use of terrariums for horticulture has never ceased since the development of them 175 years ago.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Horticulturists still use them to this day as they create their own biosphere allowing the grower to provide adequate growing conditions for their specimen.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is for that reason that “Terrariums” make such a wonderful, easy indoor gardening solution.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The environment in which they are planted allows for moisture to be captured within the glass jar - thus resulting in less water, less frequently.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A novice gardener can look like a master.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Today, it’s as if they’ve come full circle.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They have the elegance of the Victorian era with an organic spirit. They make a wonderful gift or a delightful project.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Terrariums can be open or closed.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The more enclosed the container the less watering it will require.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;What makes a terrarium enchanting is how it’s planted, nurturing it, and watching it flourish.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;From the occasional do it yourselfer to those devoted to the craft, building terrariums is building a piece of art.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;There are no cookie cutter designs.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Every terrarium is unique.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They come in all forms: cloche, apothecary jar, fish bowls, glass wall bubbles, and even glass vials planted with moss to hang around your neck.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The fun of it is finding unique containers, exotic plants, and building a story within each vessel.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What’s more enjoyable is watching the expressions and listening to the observer as they look closely finding all the intricate details hidden inside.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I often hear “I don’t have a green thumb.”&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You don’t have to have a knack for gardening.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Gardening is simple, you just need to know the basics – give it the right soil, correct amount of water, appropriate amount of sunshine, and a suitable atmosphere to grow.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;For a terrarium, half the work is already done for you.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You just need to give it some light and a drink every now and then.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Terrariums are great for young or old, man or women, boy or girl.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They are not only wonderful conversation pieces but are also a wonderful companion, requiring minimal care.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A small indoor garden is ideal for apartment dwellers, and also makes unique office accents.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Terrariums add life to any room as an accent or a conversation piece.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Place it on a coffee table or dining table for a dramatic effect. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The gift of a terrarium is a wonderful alternative to fresh cut flowers and it is a gift that the receiver can continue to enjoy for years.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Several years ago, I decided to infuse my floral roots to contemporize the lost craft of terrariums for home and office décor.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;To my surprise, I have discovered a few others that are as devoted to the movement as I am.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Those that design terrariums for a business are not as common as a florist however the ones that are, are loyal and passionate to teach others.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Each one of us has our own signature style we infuse in our work.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;For example, New York designer, Paula Hayes, plants her coddled specimens in hand blown glass vessels.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They are available for purchase between $8,000 – $22,000.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Locally, Botanic Gifts has been built on their own innovative style by accenting with orchids and other blooming plants, available at The Market or direct from their website at www.botanicgifts.com from $45.00 - $300.00.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Each of us, who have honed our craft, has our own style as it is apparent in the containers we use and the plants we prefer.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Yet, what we have in common is the love of the craft and dedication to bringing nature and the art of design into your home and office. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Don’t be surprised if one shows up as a gift on your doorstep.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Welcome it in and just don’t forget to give it a drink!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;Tokyo Creators Garden now carries Botanic Gifts terrariums in various sizes.

Or you've shown up at parties wearing the same outfit as someone else.  Or you've seen your little brother sporting a new shirt similar to one you bought just a week ago and has now gone missing, yet he insists that what he is wearing is really his.  Or is it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;You cannot always put labels on everything you own.  And you cannot always stand out in a world where most items are mass-produced.  But don't give up your individuality just yet---we just might have the perfect solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Tokyo Creators Garden carries the "Lupin" line of t-shirts made by STORE.  Based in Japan, STORE provides custom service for their apparel line:  customers walk in and choose what colors they want for the top and bottom and watch as their chosen halves are sewn together to make one unique shirt.  Quite impressive, huh?  Since we do not have the same service offered here at Tokyo Creators Garden, STORE has gladly given us pre-made shirts with a wide variety of color combinations to choose from, so do not despair.  No two shirts are exactly alike.  All of our tees are one-of-a-kind:  you won't find the same color combo in a different size.  So come in, satisfy your hunger for a unique style, and show it off in multicolor.  And next time you see what looks like your shirt on your little brother who adamantly claims it as his, you would know better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;STORE tees are currently $37.60 (20% off of the regular price).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gcExhLCGkAY/S4hgMJjm7XI/AAAAAAAAAP0/QQkkE8Wd5PY/s1600-h/DSCN4296.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;All around us we see trees being cut down, the natural environment torn down to make way for concrete jungles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Everyone is always on the lookout for newer, more modern landscapes and technology.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;But what about nature?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;How will we see nature in the future?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style=";font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;div class="im"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;The On Za Line design team asks the same questions as they try to envision what nature will look like in the future. Their fourth collection “The Garden as Science Fiction” features a series of ceramic leaf dishes and accessories inspired by the elegant simplicity of nature. While trying to bridge what they think of "nature" and what they feel is "natural", this Tokyo-based two-woman team carefully creates pieces of art that are as interesting to look at as they are useful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Art For Your Home:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Molded to look like leaves, the ceramic leaf dishes are kept glaze-free to stay as close to the raw state. T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;hey are double-fired with high heat to seal the pores and burn out toxins, so you can use these pieces for display as well as to serve food and amaze your guests.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;The unglazed texture keeps the dish looking understated, so it does not take the spotlight away from the food being served yet still adds that natural touch to the presentation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Art For Yourself:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Grow a mini-garden on your finger! Or at least a little bit of moss. Perhaps in their vision of the future, there would be limited space for growing a garden, so why not carry around a little piece of nature with you? Of course, you can also wear it to simply make a unique statement. "The Garden as Science Fiction" collection includes moss rings and pin badges made of glazed ceramic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;As these are meant to be worn close to the skin, the glazed texture makes the accessories more comfortable to the touch and easier to slip on and off the finger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;The rings and badges come in a square or a circle design, with a small space to insert live moss (included in the set).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Due to the lengthy process it takes to create these items, only 50 pieces are made per design.

Made from all natural linen fabrics, Tokyo Creators Garden now carries Fog Linen's line of clothing and home products designed by Yumiko Sekine in Tokyo and produced in Lithuania, a Northern European country known for growing flax and manufacturing them into linen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One of the most eco-friendly fabrics, linen is highly absorbent and has very good wicking, making it excellent for hot weather as it transmits moisture away from the body, providing cooling and refreshing properties.  It is also 2 to 3 times stronger than cotton, increases in strength when wet, and is abrasion-resistant, thereby lasting longer.  Yumiko Sekine makes use of the fabric's naturally exceptional qualities to create fine and exquisitely simple items ranging from comfortable garments to durable yet stylish products for the modern home.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stop by Tokyo Creators Garden to browse our collection of Fog Linen merchandise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
