We are so in love with reducing our wastes, and Cara of Mary Marie has a solution to help with reducing and begin reusing! These organic cotton coffee cup cozies are great for keeping your coffee hot and your hand cool. Cara hand crochets each cup cozy herself with a super soft organic cotton yarn.
Her Etsy description: Measures 2 1/4 inches tall and just about 8 inches around. Should fit at least small and medium size takeout cups (anything up to 8 inches around, of course). People always ask me if these are wristbands, and I say, if you want them to be! These can be hand washed and dried, and may stretch a little with use, since the yarn is cotton.

We have taken careful consideration in being environmentally friendly and pride ourselves in using as many local and eco-friendly resources available to us.”
These brooches are screen printed on real wood. How cute is that??
They’ll be part of our swag for 2010.
