Tepee Tank Top.

We love this tank top design. We also love that Bark Decor utilizes the sun's energy to expose their screens. Now that's eco-friendly!

Urban Foraging.

Seattle is known for recycling and reusing--and more recently, composting. In fact, spotting "free" piles of wood or other unused building materials in a neighbor's front yard is a common sight.

If you're like me, you begin to wonder...what to do with all that free wood...?

Theme Of The Week: Eco-Friendly Finds.

I'm happy to announce that eco-friendly is the new black. And rest assured, it's a water-based, low-VOC black too!

Reusable, "To Go" Mason jars, from Poppy and Pearl.

Whether it's salvaged, recycled, repurposed or reusable, we're loving the momentous consumer shift towards eco-friendly goods.

And while we're on the subject, we think this may be the perfect time to change the stigma behind re-gifting.

After all, just because a gift doesn't jive with your taste, doesn't mean it should end up in the storage closet.

This week, we're bringing you our favorite eco-friendly finds. So grab your pencil and paper (just grab a sheet from your recycle bin) and get ready for a week filled with earth-friendly gift ideas!

Back To The Futura.

On the heels of the news that Nike is finally selling Marty McFly's "Back To The Future" high-tops, we found this futuristic wood letter (which, of course, utilizes the futura font) to be quite apropos:

From One Mom To Another.

Mom, tattoo heart shirt, red (sizes 3 mos. - 10 yrs.).


Wren Willow's garments are hand-dyed, using water-based inks.


Hawk, screen printed bodysuit, in plum (size 6 - 12 mos.).
























































Vintage typewriter, long-sleeved shirt, kelly green.




























If you're a new mom, you've probably grown tired of hand-me-downs for you kids. Sure, the "retro" look can be ironically hipster-ish, but you gotta draw the line somewhere, right?!

Wren Willow should be the first stop on your journey towards a new look for the kiddos. This working mom's Etsy shop is filled (and we mean filled!) with tons of awesome hand-dyed t-shirts, bodysuits and much, much more! And each are lovingly screen printed using environmentally-friendly, water-based inks. Even the designs are her own gorgeous illustrations. Egads!

So take a pit stop in Wren Willow's Etsy shop and use this Mother's Day as an opportunity to give the gift of handmade. Just think, you'll essentially be gifting an amazing, handmade item from one excellent mother to another!

Part of our ongoing "Gifts For Mom" series. More amazing finds all this week!
