Amor Milagre Presents 10 quick tips for building a sustainable organic house home 2018 amormilagre.com healthy lifestyle candle sconce light red wallpaper room paint.jpg

Hello Design Enthusiasts!  Today, my husband is joining me in a little film about some quick tips for building a sustainable home.  To get you started in this new film & book series, we list a few excerpts from my upcoming design book.  We designed and built our home ourselves, and it’s been a quite a design & life journey.  I’ll release my organic home design book shortly at The Shop at Dove Cottage.  In the meantime, I’ll post new films and journal entries here about things you can do to build and design a healthy, loving home for yourself and your Dear Ones.  Keep health for nature and yourself in mind with each little decision.  For my Design Atelier, Help, & Custom Projects please message me.  Happy Building!  ~Amor Milagre

Some flowers are more scented than others, so if you’re sensitive like us, place the bulbs to grow in a less used room.  We love having our herbs and veggies growing on the windowsill during the winter for our favourite scents to grace the kitchen.  We’re always in there!

Little Darlings

Little Darlings by Amor Milagre, Recipe and Photography by amormilagre.com Organic, Vegan Vegetarian, Plant-based, Healthy. Artwork, Stationery, Organic Apparel, and Custom Gifts. Baby and Me Meal Snack, Garden, Hand embroidering clothes to make things more special to wear, supporting small, local businesses, purple broccoli, Amor Milagre Interior Design Studio. Red bedroom, Cozy Autumn cream knit sweaters, toddler winter coat, lit Christmas tree, homemade acorn cap Christmas Autumn Ornaments. Family time, small town holidays.

Autumn days inspire more handmade touches to deepen the richness and love in our lives.  I embroider baby dresses with little flower vines for precious surprised smiles.  Brilliant hues in nature taste delicious, and they look amazing on the plate or tray, excitedly awaiting to share their flavours.  Family outtings to local shops and farms delight and educate about wholesome, meaningful trades and practices.  Holidays are even more fun when you get out to visit children’s choir shows, craft shows, seasonal festivals, visit the reindeer, ride in a carriage, and walk together quietly in nature.  We mark the dates and times on the calendar in case we are ready for the special holiday events when that day comes along.  What do you like to do in your town for the holidays?  

Our children’s book characters love exploring towns, too.  Stay tuned…

Most of the year round classes and events near us are not at the right time for us or are not the right fit, so we’ve created an original series of Classes & Clubs to create a solution to the lack of community activities for local and visiting families.  (Also, I’ve found that some towns aren’t very helpful to break into and start something new.  We’ll keep trying until we have what we’d like for our family.  Other families have told us that they found what they were hoping for in our classes.)  Our classes in 2017 were so much fun.  Thank you to all of the lovely people who joined us!

Our classes are calm, educational, fun, natural, and integrate a myriad of areas.  They help a family do things lovingly together.  They help individuals deepen their inner connection and expand their perspective for a ‘purely you’ art, design, nature appreciation, writing, gardening, and more!

Check our Class page for updates.  I’ll be posting the 2018 class list soon so you can register and reserve your seat.  The private classes and our FREE Crayon Club is available all year round.  Online classes will be available here in 2018.  For details, check our Class page here.  If your community lacks what you want, create it!

Little locally owned organic grocery shops and bakeries, the size of our cottage kitchen, are cozy and enjoyable to shop in.  Lines are short because not many can fit in the shop at the same time.  They have just what you need and also what you want.  It’s a charming experience and we haven’t even thought of shopping in the big stores.  The little town communities help the small companies grow, and it’s great to be one of them.  Our art and design shop opens soon, and we’re very excited to share our inventions with you! ~Amor

Hand embroidered organic children’s apparel and toys like chemotherapy dolls, coming soon to our shop! I like to do something special for my family. A little surprise on their clothing knows I’m always thinking loving thoughts for them.  (In NYC, at my college design library, I came across an interesting book about all of the different kinds of fisherman’s sweater knit patterns.  I read about how the wives would tuck an embroidered name, address, and love notes into their husband’s sweaters, worn on the inside of the sweater right over the heart, with a ribbon tied to a lucky charm, so if they were lost at sea, they would be able to return home again to their awaiting loved ones.  I’ve always loved the idea of a locket sweater.)

Beautiful purple hues brighten the green wall in the local organic market and farm gardens. A darling little eggplant and purple broccoli are great ingredients for a healthy and gorgeously hued family meal.  Variety is the spice of life, and is especially helpful for keeping a family happily surprised by a meal.

Cozy fall apparel warms and smiles.  A little flower vine, on the hem of an organic velvet dress, is a sweet surprise to find in the folds.

Glorious plants adorn a local farmyard garden.  We love exploring this morning glory tipi.

The fickle fall winds breeze over the ocean and give us a scattering of warm and cold days. Time to bring out the winter coats!
