Stylish Eco-Friendly Shopping

We're going to finish out this week with ways to be stylishly eco-friendly. We love these reusable grocery bags by Envirosax from Loft Party. They boast of being super-strong, water-proof, large enough to carry twice the amount of a normal grocery bag. Plus,they say that the bags stow away in a small storage pouch making it easy to keep them in the glove box or purse. With so many styles to choose from, reducing your "carbon footprint" never looked so good!

Green for Spring

Green is quickly becoming one of my favorite colors and over at Rosanna they have new collections that are not only green in color but eco-friendly as well. I can hardly resist their Mondo Glass collection. This glassware is handcrafted by Mexican artisans from completely recycled materials. The pitcher and tumblers are must-haves for spring and summer entertaining.If green is not your color, but you live a green lifestyle also check out the Beach Cottage Glass and Darjeeling Glass.

Custom Monograming

We started Lindy Hop Design out of a love for monograms and a love for paper. I recently found a new blog that incorporates both, K Werner Design. She has great ideas for how to make your own cards and paper crafts and even has fun tutorial videos. She also has "Card Making Monday" where she shows how to make a new card every monday, complete with a list of supplies needed for the project. I love her ideas and it reminds me of the many hours we spent stamping and embossing when Lindy Hop first started (though we've moved to professional printing, our first stationary was all handmade). I have included two great videos on doing your own custom embossed monogramming. I hope you are inspired!
