Pretty Little Green Things

You thought I was done with my New York International Gift Fair favs, but fear not, I have a few more amazing vendors for you. Again, my camera died, so no actual pictures of the show, but thankfully they all have good websites and pictures.  Here are another five vendors that give their eco best.

You can hang just about any plant from these planters from Boskke.  While the containers aren’t necessarily eco-friendly, the whole concept of bringing more green into our lives sure is.  This system allows you to grow plants where you otherwise might not be able to.  Even with my horrible luck, I might even have a fighting change trying to grow something.

I have to say that this pillow from Creative Women was one of, if not my absolute favorite pillow of the show.  I know what you’re thinking.  It’s so simple.  But there’s something about the texture, the little ruffles, the color and of course the green-ness.  It’s absolute understated elegance.  Sigh.

I have yet to do a post on bags.  I’ve been holding off because there are SO MANY people selling eco-friendly bags out there (some more eco-friendly than others if you know what I mean).  When I do finally get around to picking my top ten, Fluf will definitely be in that list.  Their fabrics are beyond chic and their bags are really well made.  What’s not to love?

I have to say I’m a sucker for contrasting welts, cording and borders.  If you don’t know what that means, well, all I’ll say is that these organic cotton towels got it goin’ on.  They’re from Joel Fitzpatrick and come in a variety of border colors.

No post is ever really complete without an area rug.  These outdoor rugs are super colorful (not as evidenced by this picture, but trust me they are) made from polypropylene recycled from soda bottles and can be hosed down.  Patterns range from traditional to what I’m a fan of, graphic.  They come from Mariachi Imports.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this second round of eco-friendly products from the New York International Gift Fair.  There were so many amazing vendors there, it’s hard to fit it all in a couple blog posts.  I’ll be following up with detailed posts about these and other vendors from the show in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned…
