Be Sweet is oh-so-sweet!!!!

I walked into Atelier Natalie Umbert last week and was floored by the cutest thing I'd ever seen. It was this adorable hooked rug cube, so...of course I had to get all the info because no way am I not going to be putting one of these in the babies room =)

Not only was the cube adorable, but the company that makes the cube has a socially and environmentally conscious motive. Be Sweet Products mission statement is "creative products with a conscience". Founder Nadine Storyk Curtis wanted to bring products to consumers that appreciate fashionable pieces and also bring support community development around the world- See Be Sweet Mission for more information.

The Mielie Cube is made from recycled t-shirt fabric. It comes unstuffed with the intention that those who purchase it can stuff it with recycled packing materials or old soft materials (t-shirts, towels, etc...). Check out their website for sizes, colors and where to purchase.

Natalie gave me the info on the Be Sweet and I went right home to check out their website, cute, cute and cuter. They sell everything from yarn to jewelry and everything is so unique and fabulous. Now, I'm not a sewer (not yet, on my resolutions for next year), but I pulled out some of my favorites from other categories below (different styles at top of page once in that category) ...
