We’re big fans of Parents Magazine and are especially proud to be included in their ‘green birthday’ feature this month. Our beeswax birthday candles took center stage (right on top of the whoopie pies!) at the beautiful outdoor birthday party thrown for the daughter of Eric Ryan, co-founder of Method natural products. It really is a great photo spread packed with low cost, eco-friendly ideas. Warm thanks to the editors at Parents for their consideration!

If you’re in Los Angeles this weekend, consider a little field trip downtown to attend Unique LA. It runs Saturday, May 2, 11 am – 7 pm and Sunday, May 3, 11 am – 5 pm. Held at the California Market Center penthouse (110 East Ninth Street, LA, CA - Map It) the entry fee is $5 per ticket (children 10 and under are free), with 50% of ticket sales benefit a local charity. The event brings together over 275 designers, artists and merchants. We won’t be exhibiting at this show but we’ll definitely be there shopping!
“We believe in supporting the community while stimulating the local economy, we thrive on individualism, and we hope to introduce independent design to the masses. There are deals and discoveries a plenty!”
This past Autumn we experienced what can only be described as a ‘spam attack,’ receiving hundreds and hundreds of horrid spam blog comments every day. This meant we had to meticulously sift through all of the garbage to find the few genuine comments you all were kind enough to leave here. Exhausted and frustrated we finally threw up our hands and just turned off the blog comments function. Harumpphh!
But we’ll we’re thrilled to say that our genius pals over at Aeolidia.com have recently installed a mighty spam filter that seems to be working wonders. So! All that to say, we’ve turned the comments back on…so feel free to stick around and chat with us! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the comments function, please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@mahardrygoods.com.
In the event you haven’t seen these images by Brock Davis making their rounds ’round the net, we thought we’d share. A little levity for the day! It also strikes us as a fun craft project - taking some of those duplicate family photos and letting the kids doctor them up a bit. Share your results if you give it a try! (via DaddyTypes)
