Wildbird

For most city folk, the closest they come to communing with nature is watching a show about the lions of the Serengeti on the TV. Consider Wildbird a slow, safe introduction to the great outdoors. The shop opened as a bird feed and house shop--a simple, easy way to attract nature to your urban digs. They've since taken the organic, eco-friendly theme and ran with it. Browse a collection of new, vintage and antique pine furniture, with subdued colors and simple, solid construction. For accompaniment try 100 percent beeswax candles, walking sticks "designed by nature; finished by hand", and a line of 100 percent pure essential oils.
