Pure non-toxic beeswax candles, natural & organic soap, honestly natural perfumes & lip balms, eco-friendly gifts — these small things add up to healthier and more sustainable living. Smallbones is the home of natural, made on site, environmentally friendly and reasonably priced solutions for everyday sustainable living. No green-washing here!

My name is Jane. I call myself an eco-artisan. I make many of the things that people made for themselves in the old days before environmentalism, green and eco-conscious were matters needing consideration. The spirit of my old (1855) house and my background as an environmentalist melded to create Smallbones. To learn more or just for fun, visit Smallbones Blog (link above). The blog is where I expound on some of my passions and pass on information that may be useful to you.

No chemicals or artificial ingredients are used in Smallbones’ products. ALL ingredients are clearly listed here on the website as well as on the labels. Compare Smallbones’ ingredients with what’s in your home now.

Welcome to the new website!

If you’re a long-standing Smallbones customer, you’ll notice that the site design is more upbeat. There’s a lot going on in the world today that can easily make one very pessimistic about the environment…but have you noticed how many people (and even some corporations) are now aware, and trying to make their lives and homes and communities less toxic? I choose to be on the optimistic side of things. I hope you like the new look and feel of the on-line Smallbones.

Chair caning & Basketry

You may also notice that chair-caning and basketry are no longer on the site. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have time for making baskets for the time being, but  hope to get back to it eventually, especially with my basket willow garden out back. I’m still doing chair caning, but not spending quite as much time on it. I have a waiting list at the moment, but if you need a chair seat woven you can still send me a note or call. 

 Smallbones is also included in Leaping Bunnies list of cruelty-free companies (certified in 2011).
