A descendant of the founder of the original five and dime, Priscilla Woolworth offers a breath of fresh air and green twist to the classic American general store. Each item in her eco-friendly store has a story.

Inspired by her youth, which was spent in the south of France and New England, and later her adulthood, spent in New York City and southern California, Priscilla developed a knack for finding fabulous items. Taking her passion a step further, Priscilla hand selects each wonderful eco-friendly product available in her store.

I received three fabulous eco-friendly items from Priscilla Woolworth to review. The wood and metal Bird Bread Feeder, $10.00, offers a delightful way to dispose of leftover bread while enjoying Mother Nature. The sweet Vegetables Letter Press Greeting Card, $5.00, was expertly handmade on an island off the coast of Maine, using a 77-year-old printing press on recycled paper. The beautifully presented, fair trade Kitchen/Tea Towel, $14.00, was hand crafted by women from remote mountain villages of Tipling, Sherthung and Lapa in Nepal, and is sure to brighten any kitchen. Each beautifully crafted, eco-conscious product is a treasured gift that one cannot find by walking into your typical store.

Add a little glitz to your earth-friendly shopping bag collection with its-laS-tik by what’Surbag. This company knows that being eco-conscious doesn’t have to be a drab experience. Made in a factory rebuilt after being devastated by Hurricane Katrina, each bag carries a dash of New Orleans flavor.

I received a medium its-laS-tik bag in bullion, $14.99, to review.  This gold metallic bag definitely makes grocery shopping a more glamorous affair.  The entire line is made with a stretchy nylon/lycra blend that feels like bathing suit material.  Super strong and stretchy, these bags are designed to fit the shape of their contents.  Each its-laS-tik bag can hold up to twice as much as one plastic bag.  its-laS-tik bags can also be folded up and reused again and again, springing back into shape every time.
