Way Basics Eco-Friendly Furniture

Bonus Saturday post!

I dig this table and chairs from Way Basics. For $135, it’s stylish, requires no tools, is made of 99% recycled materials, and is recyclable. You can choose from several colors, or something very neutral.

I also really like these spinning cubes for storage (they come in espresso, if you’re not into the colors):

I will be hawking baked goods for my daughter’s co-operative preschool all day today. I’ll have photos of the pretty packages for you on Crafty Monday, with links to my inspirations.

Recycled Milk Jugs + Seeds = Indoor Gardening Fun

I was happy to find this Green Toys indoor gardening kit at Target the other day. The flower pots are made from recycled milk jugs, and the packaging is made from recycled corrugated cardboard with no twist-ties, plastic or cellophane. But really, I bought it because the girls love to see seeds grow (and who doesn’t?). Their tea set, which I’ve had my eye on for a long time, would make a great gift for a little friend.

See their whole line of toys here.

Sheesh! If the economy weren’t just going to sh** this week, I would definitely be ordering this very very cool radio made of sustainably harvested wood.
