Treelife
Remember being a kid and nothing was better than a treehouse? We were constantly building them - big ones, secret ones, underground ones (which is more of a fort, isn’t it?) It’s sad to think that it would be weird to go do that right now…adulthood is my nemesis for this reason alone.
BUT…some super-cool, eco-friendly adults are not giving up on the treehouse. The Cool Hunter will be having an exhibition, Treelife, of the best treehouse designs/designers/other eco-coolness sometime 2010/2011. It looks like it will be pretty stunning.
If (when) I make millions, I will have a treehome. You won’t be able to get in without the secret handshake.
My Green Love
Check out my newest acquisition!! Isn’t it perfectly feminine? I’m going to add a belt and some retro-inspired shoes, but it really is perfect as is. I cannot wait to wear it out!

Almost Earth Day
Earth Day 2009 is next Wednesday, April 22nd.
Of course, every day should be Earth Day. We should always be mindful of our decisions and conscious of our impact on this sweet little planet. I know that I have some things that I should work on in order to become a leaner, greener me:
a. Drive less and consider less gas-guzzling mode of transport.
b. Be more diligent about bringing my canvas bags to the store. Plastic is so tacky.
c. Use less water. I’m embarrassed to say that I really love a bath.
d. Use less electricity. (It sure is hard with all the gadgets these days!)
e. Shop locally, organically and from eco-sensitive sources.
f. Work more recycled materials into my shop. This is a big one.
Here are some earth-inspired finds from Etsy. All of these shops are making great efforts to be responsible and to ensure a greener future. Please show some love!

Front Page Treasury!
The most recent Treasury I curated made it to Etsy’s Front Page! This is only the second time I’ve gotten to the FP, so I’m really excited. Sadly, I didn’t get to see it up, but polishedtwo was kind enough to send me a screenshot. Here it is!
Here are the links to the sellers’ shops: jennamichelle, gretchenmist, vanessakimball, polishedtwo, momomatic, yellowcakecrafts, gollybard, ROSSiROSSi, NewFashionedWhispers, ellecools and sunnyrising.
New Treasury!
Being outside this weekend got me even more ready for spring. This treasury will have to hold me over for a few more weeks…enjoy and please visit the shops of these amazingly talented sellers!
Everyone think grass and flowers!
