When we saw these <a href="http://www.maplexo.com/" target="_blank">MapleXO </a><a href="http://www.maplexo.com/collections/all/products/coney-containers" target="_blank">"Coney Containers"</a> at Portland store <a href="http://betsyandiya.com/" target="_blank">Betsy & Iya</a>, we had to have them. Once we brought them home, we became officially obsessed: they're functional, stylish, green and affordable, all at once! These little ceramic containers with recycled skateboard lids are the perfect size for storing salt, spices, tea, jewelry—anything. They also come with a wipeable china marker for labeling. Genius!<br />

The season of outdoor dining is upon us again! What do you serve outdoor meals on? Melamine? Paper plates? Your everyday dishware? Plastic (<i>recycled</i>, of course!)? We have yet to find the perfect outdoor dining solution, but this year things are looking up. From biodegradable bamboo cups and plates that don't <i>look</i> throw-away, to stainless steel options that won't break, here are our favorites for outdoor entertaining this summer.<br />

A big thank-you to <i><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/" target="_blank">House Beautiful</a></i> magazine for featuring our <a href="http://ploverorganic.com/collections/pillow-cases/products/teal-circles-pillow-case" target="_blank">"Circles" pillowcases in Teal</a> in their "Make (Over) Your Bed" story in the February 2014 issue! We couldn't agree more...just changing your pillowcases provides a pop of color and can completely change the feel of any room. Pillowcases are our favorite way to mix-and-match bedding with little commitment. (Because let's be honest...it's HARD to pick a duvet or quilt to commit to, right??)<br />
<br />
See the full slideshow of great ideas <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/easy-bedroom-makeovers#slide-1" target="_blank">here</a>, and shop all Plover Organic pillowcases <a href="http://ploverorganic.com/collections/pillow-cases" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Who needs Spring cleaning? We love doing a massive cleaning in the dead of winter, when you're stuck indoors—and stuck picking up after all the holiday parties and presents and paper—anyway. On our to-do list: saying goodbye to magazine stashes we've had for almost a decade. (How does that happen?!?) Now that our beloved <a href="http://www.luckymag.com/" target="_blank">Lucky</a> magazine is back in print, it was time to let the old ones go. But not without one more read-through (a totally worthwhile way to spend a couple of nights, by the way), during which we rediscovered some forgotten gems, such as this one from April 2006: "The World's Comfiest Bed."<br />
<br />
It's a step-by-step guide on how to make your bed à la a <a href="http://www.fourseasons.com/" target="_blank">Four Seasons Hotel</a>. The tip that's changed our lives: don't tuck your top sheet! Fold it into a 6" "Z" instead. Try it, you'll see.<br />

Happy Monday! We've been listening to the new <a href="http://courtneybarnett.com.au/" target="_blank">Courtney Barnett</a> song "<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/id699190391" target="_blank">Avant Gardener</a>" and getting excited for Spring—verrry prematurely, we know. But why not share some inspiration? Now is the perfect time to start planning, after all. One of our favorite Christmas gifts this year was <a href="http://www.timberpress.com/books/planting/oudolf/9781604693706" target="_blank">Planting: A New Perspective</a>, by legendary landscape architect Piet Oudolf. Take a look, take a listen, and get inspired yourself!<br />

Every so often, we're lucky enough to visit a place that is incredibly inspired, down to the finest details. <a href="http://www.lospoblanos.com/">Los Poblanos</a>, in Albuquerque, NM, is that kind of place. A 25-acre working organic farm that specializes in lavender, Los Poblanos also has beautiful guest rooms, an amazingly well-curated <a href="http://www.lospoblanos.com/thefarmshop">Farm Shop</a>, a saltwater pool, and a <a href="http://www.lospoblanos.com/food-and-dining/">restaurant</a> specializing in local and organic food. Did we mention it's on the National Register of Historic Places? Just one afternoon at Los Poblanos, and you won't want to leave. (And when you do, you'll dream of recreating the whole atmosphere at your own house.)<br />

The best part? Seeing in 5 parts how exactly they devise their prints: start with photos, mix-n-match them, add background and tweak the colors, build a repeating geometric pattern, overlay. (The pattern above is the final product.) It's probably more complicated than it sounds, but still, don't you want to try it at home??<br />

<br />Here at Plover Organic, we're pretty partial to <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/">Anthropologie</a>. And our favorite time to shop is Spring, when the garden's starting to pop, friends are emerging from self-imposed winter seclusion (ourselves included!), and it's time to think about entertaining again. Some of our favorite warm-weather inspirations from Anthro are below, including, of course, two new tabletop offerings from yours truly: Plover Organic <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/search/A26862136.jsp?cm_vc=SEARCH_RESULTS">cotton napkins</a> and <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-tabletop-tablecloths/26861765.jsp">table runners</a> in "Redux" and "Foulard."

Our latest source: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Berber-Carpets-Morocco-Symbols-Meaning/dp/2867701848">"Berber Carpets of Morocco: The Symbols, Origin and Meaning,"</a> by Bruno Barbatti. A fascinating read (who knew carpets were so sexy?), but it's the incredible rugs that will draw you in. (Pardon any blurriness, but you're meant to be enticed to buy the book for yourself!) Some of our favorites are below...<br />

Here at Plover, we are big fans of the <a href="http://www.toms.com/our-movement/movement-one-for-one">"One For One"</a> movement/philosophy/new capitalism. With <a href="http://www.statebags.com/">State Bags</a>, for every backpack you purchase, one will be donated to a student growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in the U.S. State Bags was founded by non-profit veterans <a href="http://www.statebags.com/pages/scot-jacq">Scot and Jacqueline Tatelman</a>, who were tired of "seeing countless kids carrying their most precious possessions in trash bags." Shop State Bags <a href="http://www.statebags.com/collections/our-products">here</a>—everything from colorful cotton bags for $55 to upscale leather for $225—and know that another bag will go to a child who really needs it. (State did their first <a href="http://statebags.tumblr.com/post/40182497857/bag-drop">"bag drop"</a> just last week in Brooklyn...pretty awesome.)<br />

A lot of people love <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/">H & M</a> because of their inexpensive clothes, but here's a better reason: H & M is the top user of organic cotton in the world...two years running! This newsflash (for us, anyway—how did we not already know this??) comes via the new <a href="http://info.textileexchange.org/just-released-2011-organic-cotton-market-report/?utm_source=hubspot_email_marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_content=5086766&_hse=cecilia.brannsten%40hm.com&_hsmi=5086766&_hsh=373ad60360d5dc668c5fb5d8c73928b0">"Organic Cotton Market Report"by the Textile Exchange</a>. H & M actually started using organic cotton back in 2004, when they joined with the <a href="http://bettercotton.org/">Better Cotton Initiative</a>, a not-for-profit aimed at making "global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector's future." (<a href="http://bettercotton.org/about-bci/">BCI's website</a> is a great read, we highly recommend it.) Last year H & M increased their usage of organic cotton by 100% (!), and their goal is to source all cotton from sustainable sources by 2020 <i>at the latest</i>, with BCI's help.<i> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
And yes, we know, we know—the <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/maisonmartinmargiela#collection/ladies/page/0">Maison Martin Margiela for H & M collection</a> went on sale today. If you needed an excuse to shop it, you've got it!<br />

The rain has started up again here in the Pacific Northwest. A great time to give a shout-out to <a href="http://kamik.com/">Kamik</a>, the Canadian pioneers of recyclable rain boots. Their <a href="http://kamik.com/kamik_winter10/en/helium.shtml">PVC-free synthetic rubber</a> is super-light, super-comfortable, and gives great traction in the rain. Adults will likely have their Kamiks for years, but for kids, constantly outgrowing them, all boots can be shipped back to Kamik, where they are <a href="http://kamik.com/kamik_winter10/en/recycle.shtml">recycled</a>.<br />
<br />
Have some old boots you're looking to recycle? It's a bit complicated (and therefore sooo much easier to just buy Kamiks), but see <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2259196_recycle-rubber.html">this article</a> for ideas. (Thanks, Ari!)<br />
