Be a Butterfly Buddy

Invite butterflies into your garden with this peaked roof butterfly house, a great addition to your backyard habitat. Placing it in your garden offers these fascinating insects a resting spot during their migration or protection during a storm. The design mimics crevices found in nature, helping butterflies easily locate the shelter.

Butterfly populations are falling, and this is especially noticeable here in Minnesota, so be a butterfly buddy and help the butterflies out while bringing grace and beauty to your garden.

New Tank Tops!

Two new tank tops have arrived just in time for really hot weather: the Love Life (No Matter Whose) tank and the Good Luck Elephant tank. Love Life (No Matter Whose) features a bunny design on a ribbed tank.

The Good Luck Elephant is a racerback tank. Did you know that an elephant with her trunk raised means good luck? And all of us, elephants especially, can use a little good luck. Let's honor elephants, from those imprisoned in zoos and circuses to those being poached in the wild for their tusks, and leave them alone to live their elephant lives.

You Betcha I'm Vegan

Created for our annual vegan Hotdish Cook-Off, our "You Betcha I'm Vegan" tees and hoodies have been a huge hit. We have them in a variety of sizes, colors, and tee styles.  It's the perfect clothing item to wear on your summer vacation - you'll be recognized by other Minnesotans no matter where you are.

Honeybee Gardens Aftershave

With a select blend of herbs, essential oils, and cooling aloe vera, Honeybee Gardens Aftershave is a vegan and cruelty-free way to soothe newly shaven skin and relieve irritation.

If you have problems shaving, this product is the answer. Using an age-old process, a select blend of fresh herbs is brewed for weeks and then strained multiple times resulting in a golden serum which cools and soothes newly shaven skin. Leaves skin virtually free of irritation. Aloe is then added to moisturize and soften skin.

Try the Sandalwood scent which is therapeutic and cleansing, or the Vermont scent which is woodsy and earthy. Both make great additions to your morning routine.

New Hand Poured Candles

eco candles are hand poured in Wisconsin using natural soybeans. This means that you'll light a candle that is cleaner burning with no pollutants, toxins, or carcinogens ... longer lasting ... supports American farmers by using U.S grown soybeans ... helps keep our earth clean by using soy wax that contains no herbicides or pesticides and is genetically unaltered ... and uses only wicks made from paper, hemp, or cotton.

The scents are outstanding - store favorites are the melted caramel, which smells like a pot of rich, gooey melted caramels and white tea & ginger, a blend of white tea, spices, citrus, jasmine, and freshly cut ginger root.

Owls are Awesome

Hoo is that in the tree? It's owls. Why? Because owls are awesome.

This unique design is like a scene straight out of the woods, with the tree trunk running up the back of the calf and branching around the leg, providing ample room for little creatures to hoot and howl.

Stop by and see these and other fun new designs from Sock It to Me.

Chindi Reindeer

Made of recycled cotton, these whimsical reindeer will give a non-conventional pop of color to your home and holiday decor. Each Chindi Reindeer is a detailed work of art. Available in two sizes: 

SMALL (Reindeer looking up)

LARGE (Standing up-left)

Colors vary.
No two are exactly alike due to the recycled nature of the cotton material used. Created in the style of vibrant Chindi rugs from India.

Note our extended holiday hours. In addition to our regular posted hours, Ethique Nouveau will be open Sunday, December 15 and Sunday, December 22 from noon to 4:00pm.
