Here’s to our impressively gorgeous and fascinating world!  Happy brilliant Earth Day to all of you.

On my agenda today, planting a tree.  Well, donate to plant a tree as I have quite a busy schedule today.  If you are in the same boat, there are plenty of organizations that make it easy to help support the cause.  Plant-It 2020has a list of locations from which you can choose, and it only takes…

What will you be doing on Earth Day?

Here are a few activities for you to engage in on Earth Day…or every day for that matter!  With Earth month nearly to a close, we don’t have to stop celebrating our beautiful planet. Margaret Mead once said – “We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment.”  Because, what would happen if we had to live amongst our garbage?  The more of it we produce, the more of it that will encroach on…

The Kuskoa Bi Chair

The first bioplastic chair by Jean Louis Iratzoki

Made for Alki, this enveloping biodegradable chair is the first of its kind. Comprised of polymers akin to plastic, bioplastic is made from 100% plant-based [renewable] materials.  The seat is fully recyclable, leaves a light footprint (rather butt-print) behind… And it comes in some great colors!  Check it out on alki.

  Has everyone been as cold as I’ve been lately?!  I mean, I guess it doesn’t help that we were in Downtown Denver at below zero… It was time I got a cold weather jacket.  I’ve noticed, as I’m getting older, the warmer I want to be when going out and “braving the cold.” Hahah!  So, after [previously] scouring the web, I finally found the one when we walked into Patagonia that…

  Norman Cherner designed these iconic + innovative chairs back in 1958, yet they can still sit among any décor (pun intended)!  As a licensed maker of these chairs, The Cherner Chair Company takes this ubiquitous modern piece to the sustainable level.  Along with being manufactured domestically, the wood used is collected form sustainably managed forests and the steel is 100% recyclable…making…

It was a great weekend checking out Zinc Detail’s new space, and visiting Bluxome Street Winery for the first time.  The Holiday Markets were fun, especially when meeting some of the other vendors.  Meeting other creatives is always inspiring! Check out some of the local, natural and/or upcycled awesomeness.

I like to have gatherings all year round!  And, the holiday season is only more reason to spend time with close friends + family.  Food, drink, gag gifts, embarrassing stories…what more can we ask for?!  Well, how about a low impact tablescape for your next gathering?
