Earth Friendly Etsy: Win an Organic Rainbow Pronta Scarf

February 2, 2011 0

This week’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway is from Pronta. One lovely reader will win a beautiful, brightly colored rainbow Pronta scarf that will add a little color to your winter wardrobe.

Each Pronta is exclusively handmade using only the highest quality Eco friendly fabric and vintage buttons. Each Pronta is unique and comes with a flower pin that you can use with your Pronta or as an accessory for your hair or clothing.

You have to see the color selection that Pronta has to offer. Fabulous. I would wear a Pronta with a simple tee and jeans. However, couldn’t you see yourself dressed up with your Pronta for an evening on the town?

Jump over to Pronta and choose the only accessory that you will need this winter, then leave a comment below.

– You have until February 16th to enter.

– Update: The winner is Tsuki Fox. Yay! Thank you for playing.

Wow. I am a little smitten with Sustain Design Studio’s miniHOME. I still love the idea of living in a tiny Eco-friendly home. And this one would fit the bill nicely with a great floor plan and fun colors. I wonder how it would hold up in hurricanes?
Would you live in a tiny home?

Jump over to Inhabitots and read the tips that I discovered while reading The Better Way to Breastfeed by Robin Elise in my article How to Overcome 5 Common Breastfeeding Challenges.

Do you agree that most breastfeeding challenges can be overcome?
