Just came across this Seatle company, ThinkNow Design,  in another blog and I am in love! They make all eco-consious jewelry that is absolutely beautiful. Here’s some info on their green practices from their site:

“thinknow products are made from 100% natural materials and water-based adhesives. All wood products are sourced from managed growth forests, and our products are sealed with beeswax and linseed oil. The packaging for the products you receive is recycled-content cardboard durable enough for reuse in storing and displaying all of your favorite pieces.”

They have several choices of colors & finishes for each style. Here are some of my favorite designs:

This website was recommended to me by a friend who claims they provide decent quality prescription glasses and sunglasses for a very low price. I just spent about $500 getting a new pair of glasses and replacing the lenses in the two pairs I already had with my new prescription, so I would be willing to give them a try. Frames are mostly under $20 and then they add on costs if you want things like anti-reflective coating, and I assume there is a shipping cost involved. I am thinking about using them to get a pair of prescription sunglasses for when I am riding my bike, playing golf, etc. I’ll let you know how it goes if I ever try them out! Check out the site here.
