Apparently I am ruled by the planet Venus which is why I love beautiful things! I am a strong believer in shopping sustainably and often being drawn to lovely cat things has been at odds with my principals.

Working in my day job at The Good Life has given me the opportunity to research, search and search again for gifts that are designed with the planet in mind. We are in luck! There are good people out there! It's so important to me to connect directly with artists and give them a fair price for their wares and also to introduce them to each other.

A feline network is beginning! If you are reading this then I know you are mindful already, but what I also love about ethical gifting is that you are passing on your positive attitude to the climate and showing that even in times of celebration we can be thoughtful and kind. When gifts are sourced from further afield than our British shores then I can rely on fabulous companies like Shared Earth who ensure all their products are Fair Trade.

Crafting is an essential income to many nations and how lucky we are to be able to experience talents from around the world where the artists are well paid and thanked for their talents.

If you know a talented soul who shares our love for cats then make sure they drop me a line, I'm really looking forward to expanding my range and supporting more artists.
