There is something very sexy about a man who loves womens shoes. Reminds me of a sweet someone…

Holy beautiful Goddess! I was just turned on to these eco-fabulous shoes by PJUX, hand-crafted in Spain and as Inhabitat reports “the result of a Copenhagen-based designer dream team and traditional Spanish leather craftsmanship and artistry.”

A closer look…Love those straps…

Very 1920’s…

Pitter-patter goes this heart. And for those of you who don’t know, my birthday is August 12th.

What are the eco-details, you might ask? They are fairly traded and as stated on the website, “We use compressed and recycled leather soles, vegetable tanned chrome free leather, heals are sourced from European sustainable forests and the metal components are sourced locally in Spain.”

PJUX shoes are available through Ekovaruhuset in New York City.

That elegant potty is a dual flush toilet which reduces water usage up to 67%. That’s a huge savings and an essential piece to any bathroom.

Now kind of a no-brainer, dual flush toilets, (you know the ones that have a button for #1 liquids and a #2 button for everything else) are easy to install and save a ton of water. They are also beautiful and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

The flush buttons…

Yesterday I was once again reminded of Portland, Oregon’s commitment to the environment. While at the airport. I noticed that all the toilets in the bathrooms were dual flush and thought about the mind-blowing amount of savings of our most precious resource. Think about how many thousands of people a day travel through that location.

May the dual-flush potty revolution spread around the globe.

Today is not only my sister’s birthday, but also the re-birth of something very beautiful–California’s Supreme Court overruled a voter-approved ban on same sex marriages. What does that mean? It’s means, hit the streets baby for a party tonight where same sex couples in the Golden state are celebrating and planning their nuptials.

“It’s about human dignity. It’s about human rights. It’s about time in California,” San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, pumping his fist in the air, told a roaring crowd at City Hall. “As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. It’s inevitable. This door’s wide open now. It’s going to happen, whether you like it or not.” ::Source: My Way News

I happen to be visiting Los Angeles today for my nephew’s college graduation and I can feel the collective joy. That vibration can be felt around the globe and it’s very healing.

Colorful and whimsical recycled macadamia nut bowls, perfect for a summer party.

I recently stumbled upon these sleek, modern bowls made out of recycled macadamia nut shells by Husque. I’m impressed with the organic design which emulates the bottom half of the cracked nut.

The creator of these beauties, Mark Harrison developed a compound using the renewable resource of the nut, the part that is normally discarded anyway. ::Source: Husque

From macadamia nut to bowl. Very inspiring.

P.S. Happy Birthday Jen. I absolutely adore you and want to smother you with hugs and kisses…

This gorgeous sleek Goddess of a chandelier was a favorite at this years BKLYN Designs.

It happens you know. Suddenly you see something and sha-bang, it’s all over…love (or lust in this case) comes rushing in. I was hit hard with the love-bug when I saw this elegant modern sweet LED lit chandelier. As Inhabitat reports, “Recent Pratt graduate Kenzan Tsutakawa-Chinn wowed attendees at the BKLYN Designs show with his constellation chandelier, breaking LEDs free from their circuit-mounted domain.”

That fits right in to PPnG’s idea of sustainable luxury. Plus how gorgeous would that look over a FSC Certified wood dining room table? One can only imagine until this beauty actually comes on the market.

Modern masculine lines with feminine sparkly lights. That harmonious combination can only lead to a lifetime of ecogasms. What do you think?

Oh sweet little curly haired girl and her daddy in cool vans at the annual Portland VegFest May 10, 2008.

On Saturday after a leisurely morning, I made my way over to Portland’s annual VegFest–an event dedicated to vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. Also included were animal rights activists, bicycle driven people and a lecture by Mia MacDonald, Executive Director of Brighter Green–a non-profit “action tank that aims to raise awareness and encourage dialogue on and attention to issues that span the environment, animals, and sustainable development both globally and locally.” ::Source: Brighter Green.

Take a closer look at what this single attendee’s plaque says.

A very interesting moment at the event was running into this guy–a 24 year old vegan looking for his vegetarian/vegan sweetheart. “Just ask,” says the Universe and “you shall receive.” This guy was directly asking. Check out the plaque hanging off his neck. It was basically a singles ad. When I asked him how many phone numbers he had received, he was at 2. Hey that might be better than Green Singles online dating.

Lots of yummy tasty treats, all vegetarian, vegan or raw.

Thank-you Emily for inviting me to the show. And thank-you sweet Philip for sharing your photos of the event.
