Seattle shopping website NWSource was so kind to feature Olive & Myrtle again this past weekend. This July 22 article on outdoor summer entertainment and style ideas suggests using a Big Bamboo Bowl and Reclaimed Cocoanut Shell by Bambu to serve your salads or pastas.
Big thanks goes to writer Caitlin King and NWSource for featuring our sustainable products.
Seattle shopping website NWSource, recently featured Olive & Myrtle! The article features info on our recent move to Seattle as well some of our top sustainable products for green living. Thanks so much to Nancy Chaney and NWSource for finding us and writing a great piece to introduce us to Seattle.
Olive & Myrtle participated in it’s first Earth Day volunteer event in Seattle. Working with Friends of the Burke-Gilman at Sand Point, participants cleared away invasive species from the trail. This will make room for native plants and trees to flourish along the trail in the future. We definitely got our hands dirty. Pulling out invasive blackberry roots is hard work! The Burke-Gilman Trail is a popular recreational trail for walkers, runners, cyclists, skaters and commuters in the Seattle metro area. Looking forward to seeing the progress along the trail and spending countless hours enjoying the scenic beauty the trail currently has to offer. For more information on the Burke-Gilman trail you can visit the Seattle Park & Rec Burke-Gilman Trail page.
Olive & Myrtle is happy to announce our recent move to the Pacific Northwest! It was a big decision, but one that we know will be perfect for us. We look forward to getting to know sustainable designers, artists and companies in Seattle. Our new office is located in Belltown, and came with fabulous views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains! Olive & Myrtle can still be found 24/7 online, across the country, but we will be looking for just the perfect spot to open our first store in one of Seattle’s fabulous neighborhoods in 2012. We look forward to being the #1 Seattle retailer for beautifully-designed eco-friendly products for the home.
Reusable Organic Cotton Produce Bags by Wonder Thunder are handy eco-friendly bags perfect for grocery and farmer’s market shopping, as Midwest Home magazine made note of in their Nov/Dec issue!
The bags are made from unbleached organic cotton, have convenient organic cotton drawstring-closure, and fit into one another for toting. Fun, water-based ink lettering and designs available in green, blue, or red. Perfect for eco-conscious grocery-shoppers, they also make a great gift for a gardener, as suggested by Midwest Home magazine, who describes them as “ideal for a garden harvest or farmers’ market shopping.”

We just love Minnesota Monthly! Recently Olive & Myrtle was voted best Shopping Site in the annual Best of the Cities. Here is what they had to say… “Babies. Puppies. Cookies. Some things just make us smile, and Olive & Myrtle is one of them. For this eco-conscious online shop, proprietor (and former Target art director) Aaron Porvaznik insists on good design and good products—and we’re not complaining one bit. From baby gifts to home décor, everything is sustainable or certified-organic, some of it is locally made, and all of it is fun to look at. Happy shopping!” Thanks to Elizabeth Dehn at Minnesota Monthly… we could not have said it better! To see all of the “best of’s” click here.
