A couple years ago I received a collection of wonderful and
simple Christmas gifts from a friend of mine. She had the brilliant idea of
putting together a few of her
favorite things to gift her friends, and she selected each to match the style
of the girl she was giving it to. And thus one of her favorite things became
one of my favorite things and I’ve been paying it forward ever since.
I love, love, love Envirosax!! They fold up super compact so
I can fit them in everything but a clutch and it keeps me from bringing home so
many shopping bags - whether I’m stopping at the grocery for a few items, or hitting up Georgetown for some chic
shopping. There are lots of unique items on the website, www.envirosax.com, so I recommend giving it
a look.

My home office reorg continues and so too does my office related favorite finds! While purging myself of the ridiculous stylings I selected 6-years ago (seriously, what was I thinking?!) I’ve been searching for beautiful solutions to my ugly, cluttered office woes.
A serious passion of mine is reducing, reusing, and recycling (yay for good ad campaigns!). I could go nuts talking about this topic but I’ll save that for later because this is a favorite finds post and not a green-rant. But I do hope that all of you are doing your part… a piece of which is recycling your office paper. If you look back at my post Home Wasn’t Build In a Day: Office Part I (yes, I know there’s a terrible spelling error there but I’ve linked this post in so many places that there’s really no turning back now) and check out the pic “Exhibit C. Hell from another view.” That sad brown basket, under the pile of down comforters, was my previous recycling bin. Gag. Because we’re talking about paper recycling we can get creative about the solutions. There’s no liquids or other goo to mess up your bin. And since this needs to live in the home the container should fit your décor.
If you’ve got a stylish recycling solution we’d love to see it. So please share by leaving a comment.

My favorite find of the day - colorful doormats made of old lobster-trap netting. The rope, recalled by fishing authorities due to the danger it poses to northern right whales, is finding a new use.
