Hello Everyone, how has your week been? Can you believe that it is already September? I am starting to yearn for the changing of the season’s colors back in Colorado. However – when it starts to freeze and snow there, I will be at the beach!
Mr. Sweet Greens’ planned a family night out tonight – we are going to The Morikami Museum and Gardens for sushi, a stroll and then a Fushu Daiko performance. I really don’t know what part I will enjoy more, it just sounds like an evening full of fun and culture. Don’t you agree?
This weekend, the mister’s mother and step-father are coming into town to visit for a week. Eben is super excited – nothing like seeing the grandparents, right? We plan on spending time together at the beach and enjoying family dinners together.
While I get ready for a busy weekend, here are a few green things that I have wanted to share with you:
– Aren’t these map deconstructions fantastic?
– These DIY crayons are the best ones I have seen. Just like a rainbow.
– I want to make a T-shirt bag – maybe this weekend.
– If I could get married again, it would be like this.
– Now this is my type of general store, let’s go.
– This weekend, I want to eat a bunch of organic cherries.
Have a lovely green weekend and I will see you on Monday.
xo,
Sweet Greens
A few weeks ago I was online browsing Etsy. {Again, spending too much time swooning over pretty things} It was a chilly rainy day and my feet were cold so I started to browse Earth friendly slippers and fell in love with Infusion Fibers.
Infusion fibers is owned by Abby Meadow. Abby creates her collection of hand sewn, sustainable and high quality textile goodies in her Eco friendly studio. Her collection consists of fabulous and beautiful clothing, home accessories, bags and soft shoes. They are all to die for, but I am really, really wishing for a pair of the Eco Toes in Herringbone. {If anyone really loves me, I wear a size 7} Abby only uses natural and organic cotton, sustainable and recycled fabrics and fibers. Her creations have a functional beauty that is durable and long lasting. I am in love with the simply yet fabulous design, her use of vintage fabrics and the colors. She also has a fabulous website and a lovely blog that you won’t want to miss.
Abby is wonderfully talented, you will spend too much time swooning over her beautiful creations and ONE of my lovely readers will be so lucky to receive a beautiful item from Abby @ Infusion Fibers, a beautiful hemp wristlet. This wristlet is made with 100% undyed hemp and is lined with a fun coffee brown and cream tiger print cotton. The wrist strap is removable, secured with a swivel clip.

The Good Garden – How One Family Went from Hunger to Having Enough
, by Katie Smith Milway is the story of Maria Luz and her family, who are struggling farmers in the hills of Honduras. When the family is left with not enough food to survive, Maria’s father has to leave to find work – leaving Maria to tend to the family’s garden. When a new teacher comes to town and shows Maria how to feed the soil with compost, stop erosion and how to sell her own crops at the market – Maria spreads hope to other family farmers across the hillside of Honduras. 
*Book Adventure of the Week is a new weekly series here at Sweet Greens, where I would love to share some of the books from our own book shelves with you. If you have a book to recommend, I would love to hear about it, please send me a message to mysweetgreens@gmail.com.
PLOVER Organic bedding is earth friendly and fabulous. When we move into our new home, we will definitely need new bedding and Plover organic just moved to the top of my list. Plover organic named after the shorebird, offers only 100% organic textiles.
Aren’t the colors fun and vibrant? I even like the more muted grays. I just want to grab my sweetie and snuggle in. Don’t you?
** You may have noticed that the comments feature has disappeared from Sweet Greens. I have tried and tried to fix it and have contacted Intense Debate to no avail. My lovely friend Cameron said that she would stop by today to look at my code – good thing too, because pulling out my hair isn’t working.
