Spotted these numbered hemp/cotton blend napkins in Domino and had to share here. We’re a cloth napkin kinda house and having cute numbered ones like these would be perfect to help jog our memory as to which napkin belongs to whom. Love em.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Here’s some last minute love for the eco stockings (felt made of recycled materials) over at RikRak’s Etsy shop…

On the surface it might seem like running has little or no negative impact, hey it doesn’t even need a car. But Runner’s World magazine found it wasn’t necessarily so, “because running shoes aren’t so green, not today at least.

When it comes to planning, I’m an old fashioned gal. Sure, online calendars have their advantages, but give me a pencil and a cute paper planner and I’m a much happier gal. These days, I’m digging the chic patterns of Sarah Pinto’s recycled paper and soy-based ink planners. Cute, no?
