Malpaca's Alpaca Pillows - Everything Good

An Alpaca is a member of the Camelid family, descendants of camels, and most closely related to llamas.  Alpacas are small, gentle animals raised primarily for their soft, luxurious fiber. Their valuable fleece is harvested annually by shearing them similar to sheep.  But that's not all.....

Did you know Alpaca wool is naturally fire retardant (i.e. no toxic chemicals)?  This is important, because firemen say the fumes from your pillow can be more deadly then the fire itself!   Makes me wonder if it's a good idea to sleep on the pillow I have now, even in the best of circumstances...

Alpaca wool is also a hypoallergenic fiber that organically stays clean and dry. Instead of using any chemicals to clean, simply place these pillows in sunlight to clean and deodorize. You will be amazed how efficiently this works.  (And who likes to wash pillows anyway?!)

Alpaca fiber has a medullated core, which can be fully or partially hollow, deterring dust mites, which are the leading causes of asthma and allergies in the bedroom.

This porous fiber creates an extra insulative value for a constant balance of temperature when we are in contact with it.

Malpaca Alpaca pillows are filled with 100% U.S. Alpacas only. Buying these unique and luxurious pillows not only provides you with the most comfortable, safe sleep you've ever had, it supports our local U.S. farmers.

I am a crafter and have been looking for a better fiber fill for making stuffed animals and decorative pillows-- If you're interested in that, here is a wonderful supplier (Sage Ridge Mill & Critters) on Etsy.  She is a lovely woman that rescues alpacas!  She is also very helpful when you have questions.

With all things good about Alpacas - I can't think of a reason not to have these in my home.  Show your  support of Malpaca's Alpaca Pillows by Liking them on Facebook.  Tell them Just for Jack sent you ;-)

b(earth) - Organic Cotton Baby Clothes

I'm one of those temper-mental artists.  I can be marvelously creative...except when I'm upset about something.  On those days I don't even attempt to pick up a crayon.  Why?  Because I truly feel our state of mind mirrors in our work. 

'b(earth)' collections of organic clothing, echos a sheer gratitude for life.  Mother-Earth approved and designed for baby's comfort with evident quality.


B(earth) is eco-conscious, sweatshop free, and 100% organic down to their labels.  They use water based inks and recycled paper for packaging.  But they don't stop there.  This Seattle based company works with local printers, designers and embroiderers whenever possible, to strengthen their local community.

b(earth) clothing truly has a respectful joy reflected in their designs.  I'm very pleased to introduce b(earth) to Just for Jack fans, as I know you'll be pleased with their high quality-American Made, 100% Organic products.

Ragaboo Designer: Ragda McAfee

Continuing with my bamboo passions, I searched diligently for a designer, that could put a bamboo textile to use in a captivating manner for children.  I was so very pleased to come across Ragda's "Ragaboo" creations by chance and be completely fulfilled in my quest.  With organic bamboo, organic cotton and lead-free dyes she has blended them precisely for silky softness and thoughtful wear.  Although never choosing white (she has four boys) her color palette is refined in an easygoing, playful style.  Her clever designs are instilled with messages of love for our earth, set forth with contemplative approach.

In our recent phone tags, voicemails and conversations, I have discovered Ragda McAfee to be an uplifting woman and mother with much love and talent to share.  I cannot help but feel, that combined with her insightful goals and attitude, we will be seeing much more of her joy in lighter living around us soon.

Ragda McAfee is the owner and founder of Ragaboo.  She has her own well run website and wholesales her clothing as well.  Her organic bamboo provider was well researched, ensuring the best in green.


In honor of our Bamboo Month, Ragda is sponsoring a give away at Just for Jack for one of her inspiring shirts.  Please click here to see the contest details.
