Ok, first I have to note that these are made in Australia – so lucky you if you live there. I’m going to look for something like it a little closer to my hometown, but until then…
Look at these placemats!

The new Eco-Ware line from Lightly – 100% recycled cork and rubber placemats and coasters. Heat resistant, made of reconstituted wine corks, biodegradable, and lovely. In fact, so lovely I think you could even use them for your green wedding! Designs include Tree, Club, and Sophia – all are very cool, but I like the tree design above best.

I’m not kidding.
Ok, so in reality Kelly is a nice, non-scary sort of Tree Hugging Lunatic, a person who designs cool stuff like shirts, reusable bags, and mugs, but it just sounds so cool to say lunatic (how often do you get to use this fun word).
Check out this awesome shirt from Tree Hugging Lunatic… (I picked the one I would get – I like tanks, but they also have tees, sweats, and much more).

Check out the quote on the shirt, “We are here on Earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don’t know.” …read more

The Atomic Bonsai Kit is pretty interesting. I’ve heard rumors around that it’s actually recycled cardboard – which would make it one slick little recycled tree. I wasn’t able to find out if it is recycled. Cardboard is a fairly decent material to buy in any case since it is recyclable itself.
You can actually change it up just like a real bonsai; only this of course you don’t clip or water. Or, at least I wouldn’t recommend it. My favorite part is actually the cardboard dish.

Over at Hippie Sounds I did a post on threads for little hippies because I found the coolest online shop with items like Bob Marley tees for babes. This online shop; Soul Flower also has some of the most adorable tree hugging clothing for kids.
Now, obviously dressing in earth friendly clothing is only one small step. But if your tee, or in this case your little one’s outfit gets someone thinking than that’s a good deal. Plus how cute are baby tree huggers?
All of these baby items are organic and ultra cool so if your family has some tiny tree …read more

Now what some of you may be surprised to hear is that b5media’s alcohol in the afternoon darling; otherwise known as the Snarkstress and I are friends. Although, after I show these dresses we may well not be anymore. Sad I know, but I have to show dresses with trees on them — I’m compelled.
Still, I had to say something because the first thing I thought of when I saw these was “how cool” and the absolute second thought to flash in my mind was, “Snarkstress will hate these.”
Now about the dresses. Both are wedding dresses from Threadhead Creations a …read more

I’m not a huge pet fan, but I know there are many tree hugging families that are. If you have a little tree hugging kitty than you absolutely need this Custom Tree Tower from Sitting Pretty Kitty.

Here’s a view of the whole tree tower: 

And there are tiny sleeping branches!

You can get it with leaves, flowers, and butterflies as well. Learn more at Sitting Pretty Kitty.

Shawn Lovell is an artist with a metalworking studio in Oakland, California where she creates, among other things, dreamy beds like this.

Just amazing. Props go to The Design Blog, a site that always has cool items like this up and available for your viewing pleasure.

I know beautiful and metal don’t always come together — but sometimes they do perfectly. On a second note; every time I think I find my favorite tree item I find some new ones I love even more. It’s a sickness.
Imagination in Metals is a company in Florida whose tag line is, “If you can imagine it…We can create it” which I whole heartedly believe. They create beautiful hand crafted wrought iron designs for homes and other places and also completed some specialty tree projects and here are three I love.

Design Milk has this amazingly fly tree bookcase that I’m thinking a tree loving family might need. I love it.

Design Milk suggests it would be perfect for a child’s room which is a great idea. It does look kind of cool with the green books — sadly I fear my book collection is a tad less green and more eclectic in color.

I love this. I think the problem is that there are so many cool tree items. However, for one, it’s not very eco-friendly to want a lot of stuff. Two it’s not like my money grows on trees (ha ha). I had to go there. I’m a dork. Still, look at this — it’s beautiful.

I LOVE it, but you do not want to know how much it costs.
