A New Look at Sweet Greens

March 26, 2010 0

Hello, friends. You may have already noticed some changes here at Sweet Greens. I have tried to make the site more user friendly and cleaner looking. Just to let you know, the ‘My Favorite Things‘ tab in the top right hand corner, will have the current giveaways, coupon codes and my favorite green products and Earth friendly Etsy shops. You can find my contact information in the ‘About‘ or ‘FAQs‘ tabs. You can find all of my Cascadian Farm Articles in the ‘Press‘ section. You can get details on becoming a sponsor in the ‘Become a Sponsor‘ tab. There is also a ‘Ask Sweet Greens‘ tab where I will be listing the questions that I get asked most often. Last but not least, there is a new comment form that is super user friendly and nicer looking. I hope you enjoy the new look and the changes.

Is there anything that you miss or would like to see added to Sweet Greens?
I would love to hear your feedback.

Art Tales: Win an Upcycled Trout Stuffed Animal Giveaway

March 17, 2010 30

This week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop is Art Tales, owned by Mary in Reading, Pennsylvania. Art Tales makes the lovely little LEFTZ soft plushies. LEFTZ are plush soft toys made with upcycled materials found at yard sales, thrift shops, or leftovers from Mary’s {the owner} home. These Eco friendly plushies are stuffed with recycled plastic shopping bags and are unique and fantastic. The eye {they only have one} on these little lovelies are made from layered vintage buttons. The reason for only one eye, Mary explains it best, ‘each plush receives a great big hug after completion. It’s such a big hug that one of their eyes just pops off.’ Is that fantastic of what?
Each LEFTZ is unique, there are no patterns, Mary uses her imagination to decide what type of the creature the fabric will become. I love the creatures that Mary creates, I think they are fabulous, colorful, unique and fun. Wouldn’t these make a lovely addition to your child’s bed or a fun accent piece for your family room?

Right now, I am quite smitten with:

Wouldn’t you love a LEFTZ of your own? Lucky you, Art Tales is giving one of my lovely readers, your very own Plush Trout to hug and love.

Have a Lovely Green Weekend

February 19, 2010 4

Hello Lovely Readers,
How was your week? Mine has been wonderfully busy. I just launched my virtual assistant business website and I am really excited for it!

It has been snowing here in Colorado again, so our plans for the weekend include some early spring cleaning, rearranging and reorganizing. We are looking to declutter and simplify our home. There will be a lot of trips to goodwill and listing of items on eBay. Doesn’t life just seem sweeter when everything is clean and organized?

Here are a few things from Sweet Greens that you may have missed:

– Making Crayons with your kids
– A vintage caravan overlooking the sea.
– My new fave lunchbox.
Plus, have you entered to Win:

– A kitty hat.
– A crate of organic fruit.

How about you lovely readers, what do you have planned for your weekend? Are you stuck inside due to the snow? What are you doing to keep cabin fever at bay?

xo,
Sweet Green
……………………………..
P.S. I would love to sent very lovely and happy birthday wishes to my little sister. Have a fantastic day. 

My New Favorite Green Lunchbox from Goodbyn

February 18, 2010 4

Have you seen the new lunchboxes from Goodbyn. Aren’t they fantastic? I love the colors, the shape, the size, the design and the stickers. What a lovely idea to let children decorate their own lunchbox. Don’t you agree? I love that the drink bottle has it’s own spot inside the lunchbox. I also love how roomy they are, that they are BPA free and completely recyclable. Fantastic. Personally, I would use a Goodbyn lunchbox myself, I think they are adorable. Eben would love, love, love one too. How cute are the ears?

How about you lovely readers, would you or your child use a Goodbyn lunchbox?
What do you think of them?
