Green Grab Bag 6.5.09

Is it just me or has June just come way too quickly out of nowhere?  But alas, it is here, and I hope your first week was divine.  Speaking of divine, here is this week's Green Grab Bag:

• I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this idea Like Merchant Ships has of running a general store out of your home with gifts and prizes for kids, especially with like-new second hand items.  
  
• Who knew there was a secret life of tee shirts?
  
• Condo Blues has 5 non-toxic bleach alternatives, some of which (like the sun) are perfectly free.
  
• There are a ton of great gardening tips this week, starting with One Green Generation's tips on making your own organic soil.
  
• The Simple, Green, Frugal folks take another look at weeds.  Did you know they could be helpful?

This week we have some great shopping ideas.

• Don't forget Father's Day is coming up.  Prissy Green brings us some good giving ideas.
  
• The Shoe Blog is one I had never seen before but I had to show you this article on socially conscious shoes.
  
• Another blog I had never seen is Green Baby Bargains which offers Earth-friendly ideas for your little ones each day!
  
• Finally, I am blown away by the intricacy, beauty, and detail of these handmade paper crafts.

I know we haven't done this in a while, but I couldn't resist this week a reminder of why all these links matter and we keep doing what we do.  Have a marvelous weekend!
