This is me making an attempt to get quality products to my family, friends and their friends. If you don't see what you are looking for please let me know and I will be happy to look into it. Also, if you live in the Richmond VA area please let me know so that we can arrange pick up/delivery and discount code. Thank you! :)

You can see our homeschooling updates on either on the site or at alifeoflessons.com

Sundays are meant for cozy crafts, don’t you think? We’re working on potholders for family. You can make some of these yourself with the Friendly Loom Potholder Looms and loops, we just restocked! What fun are you exploring today?

The Black Knight seems to have made friends with the local dragon & invited her to come live in the castle. Who wouldn’t want a dragon as a pet - or a friend, for that matter?

Come explore the wide range of castles and figures we carry in the shop. We not only have a big selection of castles, knights and royal family, but also many Drewart castles and pieces, Evi doll castle characters like knights, archers, kings, queens, wizards… as well as some very cool smaller castle building sets. Open up a magical world of play and storytelling (plus, let’s be real - they make very cool decor while they aren’t being played with!)

The shop will be open today, with adjusted hours due to the snow. We will open at 12pm and close at 6pm. Enjoy this beautiful snow and stay safe!

“Tick tock says the clock. The New Years come. Good year to you all until the next to come.” We hope for a year full of beauty, play, and caring more for our earth than ever before. She’s full of wonder for those willing to look.

The fourth light of advent is the light of man. The light of love, the light of thought, to give and understand.

We hope you all have a beautiful start to this final week of advent, and that your day is full of love and warmth.

12/17/2024

Are you a last minute shopper? (No worries if you are - we are too!) we’re open today and every day until December 23rd. We have so many treasures and treats for all ages. Bring your children and let them craft or make potions while you browse the shop.

12/15/2024

Open a little extra this week. Come on in even if it’s just to have a cup of tea while your children make a potion or ornament.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday season!! ✨

Dragons & dinosaurs have taken over the shop! At least they’re very friendly for being such fearsome beasts. We got in quite a few new .usa figures just in time to gift to anywho who loves imaginative play.

It has been about 2.5 years since I opened the doors to my little shop, 12 years since RVA Naturals began and I have you to be thankful for! Thank you to all those who have ordered from me over these wonderful years and especially to those who keep coming back to the shop in support of small businesses! RVA Naturals wouldn’t exist today without you. And I just love watching you and your families grow.
I love the community that has grown around me too. Whether it be homeschooling, sustainable or holistic I just love the growth that I am able to be part of. Thank you so much!! I appreciate you for being there and for you being part of my family!
Please let me know if there’s anything RVA Naturals can do for you! If you know of someone in the community that needs help, please let me know, I will do my best to gather whatever resources you/they need! I believe that it takes a village to live happily in this world and I am happy to part of yours. Thank you for brightening my days. I appreciate you! 💗

Let’s explore the @grimmswoodentoys Natural Geo Blocks set. This set of blocks comes with 60 pieces in a net bag. The blocks all fit perfectly with each other. Many are halves (or quarters!) of larger blocks in the set, making math become a natural part of play. It’s a set full of potential - younger children enjoy simple stacking, while older children can use the blocks to create within builds - things like shelves, castle and house details, stairs, paths, anything their imagination can dream up. Oh and the @joguines_grapat mandala pieces make wonderful additions when you build shelves - have a market fully stocked with loose parts fruits & veggies!

We carry gifts and goods for all ages at RVA Naturals. Sustainably sourced and made from all natural materials like cotton, wool, wood, and beeswax. We pride ourselves on researching every product we carry so you can rest assured you’re taking home something safe and made with love and care.

The holiday gnomes have been quite busy since they moved in. Today they tested all of our best stocking stuffer ideas. If you’d like to see their round up of favorites, watch our stories! Shop in store and online. If you’re local, you can place an order online and we’ll have it packed up and ready to be picked up (making sure to keep all the treasures inside well covered, of course) If you’re shopping online, make sure to place your order by Monday 12/16 for west coast shipping and Tuesday 12/17 for east coast shipping.

✨Happy first of December. And a very happy first day of Advent. Time to set up our advent spirals and prepare for the spiral walk. Each Sunday of advent, we light the candle and read that week’s verse. Each night we move the tomten forward until he reaches the very center on Christmas Eve. This time together is also a great moment to read each day’s chapter in the story The Yule Tomte and The Little Rabbits. We now have both the book and the @grimmswoodentoys Advent Spiral in the shop! Make sure to save this reel to come back to the verses each week. Or even better, make yourselves some beautiful verse cards with watercolors to have them right on hand✨

We had to build an entire new table to fit our holiday @grimmswoodentoys order! Check out a few of the new pieces we unpacked, and come visit us to see the whole collection. You really can’t beat seeing these in person and feeling that wood in your hands. Magic just waiting to unfold.

We enjoyed one more Tinkering Tuesday with an autumn theme yesterday. Potions were expertly crafted, leaves were dipped in beeswax and we heard the story of The Pumpkin House. Next week we begin into advent! Join us, we offer morning groups and afternoon. Sign ups are in the link in our bio. Invite some friends and make it a fun play date!

A few new trucks drove into the shop recently! Made in Sweden from pine and beech, these trucks have many movable parts and will delight any transportation loving child (or let’s be honest - any natural toy loving adult!)

We took a little break from Tinkering Tuesday this week but we’re back at it next week! Come join us for some sensory fun, a cup of tea, a story and some time with friends. Sign ups are linked in the bio - hope to see you there!

Martinmas, also known as The Festival of Compassion is this Monday, November 11. A day to celebrate the light and gentleness we all carry within us. This light must be protected, just as our lanterns protect the candle light we carry. Join us in making a Martinmas lantern to light Monday evening when the stars come out to honor our inner light and the light of St. Martin who was known for his ability to bring warmth and light to those in need.

There’s something new on the shelves in the shop and it is exciting! Little builders and engineers will love these brick construction sets, made from eco-friendly materials. The sets come with glue to keep the bricks together, but the glue can be washed off with water so children can reuse the bricks over and over! Such a clever idea. We have one of each set open in the shop so you can see everything that comes with it and the bricks themselves before buying.
