Going Green with Etsy
Love Etsy? Me too. I love browsing the site for all kinds of things from stationary to gifts, but it's an especially great resource for finding great home decor that is also eco friendly. Here are a few of my favorite green storefronts:
Colorful cloth napkins turn temporary into extraordinary! Check out Idaho-based CharlotteHandmade for her selection of graphic organic cotton tabletoppers. Use these instead of their paper counterparts, and you’ll reduce landfills save trees and save some cash! And for every order, a tree is planted, too.
If you’ve got young children—or are simply a fan of adorable décor—you must visit Maple Shade Kids. This handcrafted Fawn and Deer Rack is made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified poplar wood, recycled and FSC certified paper, and non-toxic paint and sealer—and is totally cute too!
This Mini Turtle puzzle from Timber Green Woods looks more like a piece of art than a game. I can see this in the kids’ playroom, or even displayed as a decorative object on a coffee table or shelf. All of Timber Green Woods’ puzzles, as well as the shop’s cutting boards, chopping blocks and ornaments, are made from sustainable, locally-grown woods and finished with non-toxic oil.
