Tree Huggers

will be carrying 

upSewn Girl!  

Tree Huggers is an Earth friendly retail store. They just had a Green Cleaning Workshop that introduces you to making your own cleaners & about the benefits of making your own. You even got to take some home to try!  How cool, right? 

Another neat thing TH does is Rain Barrel Workshop where you can learn about storm water runoff and then pick up your own rain barrel!

I love it that they offer free recycling. 

Here's their website!

who makes the decisions here, anyway?

these are the days where my two little girls think they make the decisions about most things, so this stop to Africa's Child was no exception. not even sure how many times they pulled out shirts and said,

"mommy, mommy, look! this one is sooo pretty!"

i knew i wasn't getting out of there without a few of their "sooo pretty" picks.

glad to report...this one worked out! yay!!

How precious are these pictures?? {{thank you, Selena}}  She won this Shirt Dress from my blog a few weeks ago.  She has 3 sweet girlies to pass this former Daddy's Shirt down to.  

This is my cutie neighbor who just turned 2 this weekend.

Each customized shirt is redesigned by me with various embellishments like ribbon, lace & buttons.  Do you want your own upSewn Girl Shirt Dress?
