“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”
- Theodore Roosevelt
OUR ROOTS
Con Lo Common was born from a shared love of wild spaces, a desire to create more beauty in the world, to live more intentionally and to nurture our connection with nature.
“The idea first came to life over a backyard fire in the middle of Winter after a day of exploring our Central Oregon home. While hiking through the desert, we picked bouquets of Great Basin Sage, Western juniper, and other natural elements to add interest; beautiful rocks, feathery grasses, and grayed manzanita branches. These sweet botanical bundles found their way home with us and were placed on windowsills where they filled our homes with the earthy scents of sage, juniper, and just a bit of wild. They began to dry, and over tea one afternoon the idea to add the bundles to the evening's fire transformed them into the first “LIGHT MY FIRE” burn bundles.”
Now we love creating and sharing these bundles with YOU. They’re an easy and thoughtful gift, make a perfect addition to your daily rituals and a bring a touch of magic to any space.
TODAY
“Con lo que tengo” is a saying in Spanish that means to use what you have.
And for us “con-lo” is a way of life. What started as an expression, has become a mindset, a motto, a way of thinking and doing, and the heart of Con Lo Common.
We are artists, travelers, women, entrepreneurs, DIYer’s, idea chasers and believers in everyday magic. And all of the beautiful products and unique experiences we create at Con Lo Common honor these roots, and carry this “con-lo” attitude and energy with them.
