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.

Joules - Boys Stripe Shirt

Our son wore this to his friend's soccer game, and its thick cotton fabric was perfect for a breezy spring morning.  The Joules clothing line is full of happy colors with fitting detail.  The quality is superb, with its 'horse show' approach.  This British designer leans toward equestrian styling with a 'kick'.  Joules always makes me want more.

Mulberribush Dinosaur and Dragon Shirts

You may not get them to say 'please' and 'thank you' as easily as you'd like, but ask them to say, 'pteranodon' or 'apatosaurus' and it flies off their lips like a song. The dinosaur shirt, with layered look by Mulberribush, is both pleasant and pleasing for your budding paleontologist.  The prehistoric creatures are set against a teal/blue cotton with contrasting brown sleeves.  My son loves his so much he asked to sleep in it.  How can you say no?

A respectable depiction of this flying dragon is set against soft cotton in heather sage coloring.  The tasteful design prominently holds attention for both child and onlookers.  Constructed in a comfortable, casual cut, this shirt is ideal for many occasions.  Both shirts are by Mulberribush (although the dragon is by Tumbleweeds - a division of Mulberribush).  I got mine theboysstore.  Sizes available 4-8 years.

Layered Hockey Shirt by Dogwood

We have a hockey house -- so this is a hockey fan alert.  With our preschooler learning to skate and dad on a local team or two...this fits right into our lives.  It has a lived in feel, artistic design and the long sleeve has a waffle pattern to it.  The shirt is 100% cotton and is hand-stamped.  The color is stone and the design has a hints of green.

I got mine from The Boys Store.  Normally $28.00, it is now on sale for $19.60.  The writing on the front reads: 'Federation de Sport du Quebec'.

Another winner from Dogwood.
