I can’t think of anyone who has a bigger heart than Adriana Shuman. When Adriana and Mark first moved to Santa Barbara they learned their new home had been a Design Showcase House for Calm. They immediately researched the organization and found out the mission: to prevent, assess, and treat victims of child abuse. They became donors but their involvement did not stop there.

When Adriana opened Summer For Kids it was very well received. Adriana worked very hard but felt like something was missing from her goal of having a successful safe children’s store.

She dug deep into her big heart and realized she wanted to give back to the community in an even bigger way.

Two years ago the Shuman’s decided to give all of their profits from their store to local non-profits.

This is such an innovative and selfless way to educate the public and to help the children in our community.

Adriana is certainly one of a kind. How lucky we are to have her and her family in Santa Barbara!!

The Great Eco WOOL

True wool allergy is quite rare.

Holy Lamb Nursing Pillow

? Many people with chemical sensitivities have found relief with wool. Many wool sensitivities arise from the harsh chemical processing agents that whiten, clean, remove oils and add color to the wool. Many who previously believed that they were allergic to wool have found that our wool products do not irritate them at all.

Dust-mite allergies and asthma

?Wool bedding, mattresses, changing tables are ideal for everyone and especially those with asthma and dust-mite allergies. Dust-mites are a common bedroom allergen and cause respiratory irritation for many people. Wool bedding will not support the growth of dust-mites like other bedding will. Wool fibers inhibit mold, mildew or bacterial growth — all of which are common bedroom allergens.

Benefits of Wool:

o Wool resists dust – mites.

o Wool resists bacteria.

o Wool is fire resistant.

o Wool is cool in the summer yet warm in the winter ~ it is a breathable material.

o Unlike down bedding which shifts over time (ie. bare spots in a comforter), wool stays in place.

o With proper care your woolen bedding can last for decades.

o Unlike bedding that uses plucked down feathers, a sheep grows a coat of wool annually and is not harmed during sheering.

o Wool is a sustainable product helping small farmers make a living.?

Wool Batting: Our comforters and pillows use pure and natural wool batting. Wool comes from sheep. They grow a coat of wool each year, which is sheered (like a haircut) in the spring. Our wool comes from a local woolen mill in the Pacific Northwest where the long fibers are carded using old turn of the century machines. We are proud to support American sheep farmers.

How to Choose the Right Pillow…

…It’s important for proper neck support to choose the right pillow thickness.

Bed Pillow LIGHT: Recommended for people who sleep on their stomach.

Bed Pillow REGULAR: Recommended for people who sleep on their sides or back.

Bed Pillow EXTRA: Recommended for people who sleep on their sides or back.

You know yourself the best. If you are the kind of person who likes a thicker pillow try our EXTRA. Conversely, if you tend to favor a thinner pillow try our LIGHT. If neither the EXTRA or LIGHT pillows appeal to you, then you are better suited for our REGULAR. * Pillows may settle (up to 15%) until they conform to the weight of your head.
