Check out Locallectual company Dirt Candles for some of the hippest, most eco-friendly candles available. The GMO-free soy wax used in Dirt Candles is made with organic soy cultivated in the USA. This "green" soy is used instead of paraffin (a by-product of petroleum refining) along with essential oils, botanical ingredients, and all-natural cotton wicks. They use recycled packaging printed with soy inks and labels made from corn. They do not do animal testing, and the sootless candles burn 60+ hours. They are fully biodegradable. A portion of each candle sale is donated to charity. Check out fun scents such as Beach Bum, Sugar Rush, or Love Machine! Dirt Candles are, of course, made in the USA. -Karen

Is it time to be thinking about Holiday Shopping already??? Apparently so! People in New Orleans are being asked to make a pledge to "shop local" this holiday season. Why??? In order to boost the city's economy, natch. With the economy the way it is, no doubt initiatives such as this will be on the rise across the country. -Karen

 Today I am totally infatuated with Doie Designs -- I love the asian-inspired cuts and fabrics, as well as the judicious use of hot pink this season. Ferosh!
What is not to love? It is hard to turn down the flirty looks Doie Designs does so well... and you can rest assured you are getting eco-couture as the fabrics used include organic cotton, bamboo jersey, and organic wool. Doie Designs are made locally in the LA area.

I received the most surprising item in my extended-season local food share last week: black walnuts. In addition to the dozen or more I received in my food share, I also seem to have some at my house! Fortunately, Judith Evans with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has been thinking about black walnuts as well. Her latest Recipe Exchange post, Eat local foods, eat black walnuts (in sweet, savory recipes), has given me both info about the black walnuts as well a delicious-sounding recipe. -Karen
