Go for the green

Go for the green
I have always loved pretty much everything at KLT:Works. Kristin Loffer Theiss makes the beautiful artwork, plush, nursery decor and apparel that just makes you smile in every way. And I'm smiling even more since discovering that for St. Patrick's Day, through midnight, if you buy anything in her shop that's green it will be 20% off. And not just green green--like emerald, lime, or kelly--but eco green. Organic. Neat.

Personally, I love this organic birds nest tee, right in time for all things springy and new. But if I had a baby gift to buy, or a nursery to decorate, I'd be all over the handmade flights of fancy bird mobile, which I believe is made with just enough green to qualify.

Lucky find! And I'm not even Irish. -Liz

Save 20% off any green, organic or eco item at KLT:Works or the KLT Works Etsy Shop by midnight 3/17/10 with code klt:green in notes to seller. Discount will be refunded via paypal.
