Fun Websites

I mentioned that I've been reading Organic Housekeeping by Ellen Sandbeck. I checked it out of the library, but I'm thinking of purchasing the book. It is a great resource when you need to clean or take care of a household issue. In the back of the book Sandbeck has a Bibliography of great environmentally friendly resources that I thought I'd share.

Real Milk Paint Co.: Milk based (no kidding!) paint that is non-toxic, organic, and environmentally friendly. It looks like a gallon runs around $46. It comes in powder form and you just mix it with water.

Lehman's: This is an old-time country store! They seem to carry just about everything from clothespins to toys. It's a fun website to peruse!You can also subscribe to their printed catalog and an email newsletter.

The Vermont Country Store: Similar to Lehman's. They have reusable dryer sheets! I also saw Maggie's Soap Nuts available on their site. Check out the "Tried and True" and "Brands from the Past" links!

Snow Drift Farm: They sell supplies for soapmaking, aromatherapy and perfumes. I've been interested in making my own soap so it was interesting to see what they offer.

From Nature With Love: Another site for making your own soap and goodies!
