Sept. 22 Must-Have: Elephant Umbrella

Today’s Must-Have was inspired by the historic proportions of rain and flooding we’ve had here in Atlanta in the last couple of days. Schools are closed today, our front yard had a river running through it, and there are a lot of people in very sad situations right now, but we are very lucky to be safe in our home with no terrible damage (downstairs playroom water damage) or injuries.

Elephant Umbrella

You have never seen a more adorable umbrella. This wonderfully painted wooden elephant will help protect your little one from the rain, but don’t be surprised, with a fun boing boing “springy” head and a bright pink lacquered finish, your child may just wish for a downpour!

How much is it? $28
Where can I buy it? Little Wonderland

Here is a short slideshow of our minor flooding:

My husband was very proud of himself when he came home with a 100% recycled product from Home Depot today. He’s on the ‘Green’ bandwagon and now I have something else to tell him about. Fair Trade. Fair Trade supports sustainable community development by ensuring that the artisans making the products are paid fair living wages.
Greenheart is an eco-fair trade non-profit shop, carrying both fair trade and eco friendly products including handbags, wallets, lotion, and cookbooks. Greenheart believes consumers have the power to affect positive World change by supporting sustainable and fair business practices in their purchasing choices.

What is Eco-Fair Trade? Greenheart follows the guiding principles of “Fair Trade”. “Eco” signifies that our products are made using the most sustainable materials and methods whenever possible. At Greenheart, we are both “Fair to producers, and good to the Earth”.

The product and giveaway featured here is Greenheart’s fair trade wallet measuring a practical 8.5″ x 5″ x 1″. The wallet has a three-side zip closure, four section accordion dividers, a zip coin pocket, and credit card slips and I found that there is plenty of left over room for my phone.
