Last Sunday I attended my dear friend's baby shower and she is one of the most Green gals I know.  The function was held at her sisters who is also pretty Green and the decorations were fabulous!  They hung letters which each guest wrote when they received their invite on a laundry line with natural wooden clothespins, we ate on "real" plates and drank out of true to be glasses - not a plastic fork in site!  No paper napkins either, cloth napkins.  As I sat I noticed that each guest had a tree sapling in a natural brown pot wrapped with a little yellow ribbon - "Celebrate New Life" -printed on the back, planting directions!  What a great favor to pass along...since it is about 6 weeks until Spring, I will nurture my sapling and then plant it outdoors and will always remember the birth of "Emma"!   If you were interested, some of us chose to make a Emma a natural tye dye onsie -using a 100% egyptian cotton baby onsie which we tye dyed in natural inks - apparently red onions make a great purple dye!  What a great day and conscientious way to take care of the environment for you child's future!
