Discount on Green Paper Products by Mr. Ellie Pooh
A fabulous green company called Mr. Ellie Pooh is offering a special discount on all their products to Making This Home readers. For the month of February, receive 10% off on your order when you use the promotion code “hearts” at checkout.
I think that Mr. Ellie Pooh is a company worth standing behind, which is why I feel so excited to share them with you again. They’ve been nominated as the 2008 Green Business of the Year, and I worry for companies like these that are trying to improve the world as the economy worsens.
Their handmade products (like journals, stationery, ink jet paper, wedding invitations, and business cards) are 100% recycled and contain no bleach, acids, or any of those other nasty chemicals like most papers, which you have to love. All the profits go toward saving wild elephants in Sri Lanka. The poor guys are being pushed out of their habitats and killed just so we can have more area for agriculture.
Plus these gifts are so cute! For all the little male valentines on your list… just tell them that this paper is 75% pooh from orphan elephants. What guy – green or not – wouldn’t get a little excited at that? (Or is your family not like mine?)
So I don’t know. If you’ve managed to save a few dollars with genius frugal measures, maybe you could think of helping these guys out. Their products are pretty cheap, and I’m really urging Martin to help their cause with a Valentine like one of these. Or these.

Katie, what a great company and I love their site. I just clicked around it and discovered that they will make personalized photo cards for you — printed on poo! haha! I am actually in the market for these – as I wanted to create something memorable for Fiona’s six month birthday – and they sell them individually, so I could just buy the seven I want! Love it! Here’s the link I’m using:

Saw your comment on thisyounghouse and wanted to give you some info on Germans and closets. This is what an antique dealer told us:
Germans don’t have closets because their property taxes used to be (may still be) based on the amount of rooms in the house and closets counted as rooms. They would make these huge chests/armoire type things instead. We have a huge 3 door antique piece from Germany that was used as a closet. We have kitchen/entertaining pieces in the sides and stemware, decanters, wine rack, and barware pieces in middle portion with the glass door.

I’ve been reading your blog for some time now and truly enjoy it. So much so, that I’ve given you an award. Please stop by my blog to pick it up.
Cheers!

These are all adorable! Plus, I’m going to have a blast revealing the source of the paper after I sent a few of these beauties. ;)

Oh, if my son got one of these, he’d have so much fun telling people what it was made from. :)
