Oh, Joy!


We got more Ashland Sky sacks! Huzzah!

The new limited-edition color is purple. Each order is a different color - get 'em while they're hot.

Mama Earth says,

"Be good to me. Get a bag from Twist."

Introducing our own reusable shopping bag!
It's a non-woven, polypropylene bag, just like you get at Dillon's. Only much cooler, because it says "Twist." You can get it for free by spending $75, or you can buy it for $3.25. (I'm sorry it's so much more than a Dillon's bag, but I'm a small operation!)



We also have these new bags from Lantern Moon, made in Cambodia from recycled fish feed bags. As with everything from Lantern Moon, they are fair trade. For more about the Lantern Moon company and their philosophy, see here.

Santa's Visit


Well, we sure had fun with Santa during the Delano Open House last weekend. I think it was a success!

BIG THANKS to Amy Stevens of Creative Exposures Photography. Her photos with Santa are absolutely outstanding.
