If there is one thing you should know about the Fashioned by Nature team, it is that we love trees. We each have our own weird individual reasons, and we’d love to share a few of them with you right now!
-
Trees let us live! They are literally the filter between us and the rest of the world that allows our existence. Trees suck up carbon dioxide and pollutants from the air and somehow turn that gunk into the oxygen that keeps us going.
-
Trees let us eat! All those healthy, beautiful fruits that you eat (or don’t eat) at every meal come from trees! They also feed the wildlife that make our surroundings so lively and exciting to live in.
-
Trees help us work! Believe it or not, the number of trees that surround you at work can have a direct effect on your level of stress at the job. The more trees you have around you, the less stressed out you get.
-
Trees give us memories! Climbing a tree as a child is something that most of us can look back on with a bemused pride. Every one of us has built a treehouse, played hide and go seek or sought out the shade of a tree for a bit of relaxation. Ah, the memories.
-
Trees improve our quality of life! In so many ways, trees provide us with psychological and physical benefits that are unique to them. They add permanence and character to an area. They mitigate pollution and regulate our personal ecosystems. They give us peace, warmth and comfort.
Hiiiii!! 🙂

#5 describes my feelings concerning trees. My backyard is full of large, looming, canopy trees. Nothing like standing in the woods, closing your eyes on a breezy day, and listening to the sound of the trunks slightly bend. Hugs from here. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and the team. -Alan

You are so sweet! My shirts came today! I haven’t tried them on yet, though. I’m in the middle of an email to Darren and I told him it would be cool if you had some in black. His strawberries would pop on a black background, don’t you think? Hugs and love! 🤗 ❤️

Lisa has put some of our designs on color t-shirts already but some of them don’t work well on black. She will be working on that this weekend she said. Thanks for your feedback. Can’t wait to hear from you once you have tried your tees. Sorry for my late reply by the way. Crazy at work this past month!!!!! Hugs. xoxo
