The strong bond of Forest Wanderer and woodcrafts has introduced me to Bianca and Sons last autumn while I was serving on Etsy. With a long list of what to find for the new kitchen in my hand, I went on and on for days till out of the blue, these beautiful collections of wood work caught my eyes, they urged me to find out more about them. 

The beautiful story about how they have started this business, the perfect country life style that could make you envious of, the deep passion for nature lead them to create these charming but quality products made by heart, what a wonderful story to share.

Most of the products are artisanally crafted from wood, green wood and spalted wood. Other than that are clay, pottery, ceramic, wild herbs, oil, macerated oils, century old wood planks and materials that have their own story and character. Every little detail linked up so wonderfully. I had to go through bit by bit, one at a time to pay full attention to all, and I came up with these at the end.

So I went onto different occasions of photo styling for Forest Bake. Their shapes and design aesthetics compromised with my bakes really well. They enhanced the texture of what was on them beautifully, making my food styling looked even more interesting and vintage-like than ever.

Apart from all these beautiful wood collection that I’ve got, you can actually drop by at their site for more hand crafted goodies. I’ve heard that they have just started another vintage treasures line, hint hint! vecchiabottega.etsy.com

Have a good day to all!

I’ve upcycled a wooden crate!

I upcycled a wooden crate using paints that I don’t use anymore and old bubble wrap (I couldn’t find another foil). I put some potting soil inside it and planted some seeds… now I’m looking forward to planting lots of herbs inside my house! Okay, I’m joking, for now it is just a basil ;)

My motivation? I got really irritated with buying basil spice in paper bags every month… you know the small bags you can find in (I guees) every shop. I’ve also seen same looking basil being sold in plastic bottles (similar to ketchup bottles), what’s wrong with people? Anyway, I’m a person who uses a lot of basil while cooking and I’ve finally decided I want to grow it myself. But I have a large garden so why did I plant it in a crate? I wanted to check how it is to plant food inside ;)

By the way, I mentioned a bubble wrap. If you obtain it somehow, don’t throw it out! Always try to reuse bubble wrap, I always collect it and if I have to I use it to pack another package ;) Here are some ideas what you can do with bubble wrap:

• Use it to cover wooden crate similar to mine and make your own potting crate ;)
• You can use it for window isolation (it is useful especially in winter)
• Simply use it to secure what you need
• Make a frottage! Cover the wrap with paint and make a stamp
• Or use it in a collage! (maybe it won’t save the planet but it’s fun…)
• Make some beads! I’m absolutely amazed by the idea!
• Use it in photography (for example like that)
• If you like baking and you are brave, you can also try out those wild DIY from youtube:D

I hope I inspired you a bit ;) 

Thanks for supporting me!
