MINI TRIM ROLLER 3" (PACK OF 12)

First to recommend

Description

Less comfortable, but less plastic. I opted for the all metal mini roller handles because they're used for minimal work, therefore not too uncomfortable to use. Even though they're not disposable, you tend to accidentally toss these (or your helpers will), so you're constantly buying new. The all metal handles is just a tad better for the environment than the all plastic, you know?

Lime Sulfur

First to recommend

Description

I discovered the beauty of Lime Sulfur Spray while researching organic means to control insects and diseases in my garden. I have a HUGE garden, which means HUGE responsiblities. Keeping earth safe, dogs safe and neighbors safe.

Lime Sulfur is one of the best organic products you can use for controling mites, scale and borers. It also helps prevent diseases, such as Peach Leaf Curl, Maple Gall, Leaf Botch, Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, Rust and Black Spot.

It is for used on Fruit Trees, Shade Trees, Shrubs, Roses and Berries.

Plastic Lei Flowers

First to recommend

Description

I never throw away the plastic flowers given. Seemed wasteful, so I saved my leis for years. I finally found a solution to their existence... Faux blossoms for my tree branches! It's easy to do. You can buy the leis and create your own cherry blossoms using similar shaped branches from plum or peach trees. Photo is of what I did with my lei flowers and plum branches from my yard.

Petrified Wood Fossil Table

First to recommend

Description

A boy gave me a rock once... It was a beauty. A petrified wood fossil, actually, which he claimed was worth a lot of money. Another friend responded, "For woodpeckers..."

I couldn't help it but think of this story when I saw this petrified wood table. It is actually lovely, and not quite the value of diamonds, it's still a million years old and valuable, though not necessarily monetary. I love the use of it as furniture. I think that boy had a vision but the wrong idea. :-)

Salvaged Teak Stool

First to recommend

Description

No, the tool didn't get salvaged. The stool is made from salvaged teak. I am a big fan of furniture and all things made from reclaimed materials. This one is absolutely gorgeous in its natural, flawed state.

Fern Pattern Door Mat

I love the fact it's made of 100% coconut shell fiber. Good use of discarded coconuts! And this rug is pretty, too. I love fern.

Polaroid PoGo Red

First to recommend

Description

More than a decade ago, Polaroid admitted they made the mistake of not going digital... I'm glad to see they've finally hired some smart people to come up with a good product to take advantage of the digital world. This little instant printer is exactly what I should be carrying around all the time. Not only for instant gratification, but I dislike wasting all the paper trying to print small images on 8x10 sheets!

Certified Organic Beef On-line

First to recommend

Description

Not an enticing photo, I know. My bad. Image aside, I highly recommend the Prather Ranch organic beef sirloin. It's expensive, but wow, what a difference good beef can make. I was given some as a holiday gift (a great one!) and now I'm addicted to this brand. They're also available at local farmers markets. Their site lists where.
