Nature is truly amazing with beautiful florals and foliage, sturdy rock structures and the most amazing animals and creatures. Many of us love the great outdoors and enjoy reveling in Mother Nature's creations. But with busy schedules and instances of poor weather, not all of us can find time to spend outside. An easy solution? Bring the great outdoors into your own home! I'm not suggesting digging a pond in the middle of your living room, or luring in small woodland creatures into your kitchen. A few unique and beautifully made home accessories, like dinnerware, lighting and small furniture, that mimic Mother Nature's talents are all you need to make your living space a nature loving haven! Check out my slideshow for examples!

Gardening is all the rage - thanks to Michelle Obama! And boy do we have some eco-friendly gardening treasures for you. We've always been fans of DIY gardening, long before it became popular (Wendy has the green thumb). These finds from our friends over at Etsy will help give your garden a new look, as well as stimulate the economy for our small independent businesses. Check out the handmade Plant Markers from ArtisanHands, or the retro Macrame Plant Hanger, by Plantelady for $35. And don't forget about your feathered friends when planning your garden. You will love the eco Reclaimed Glass Bird Feeder by RedYellowandBlueInk for $21. It is made from an upcycled street light. If you buy one, a $1 will go to the National Audubon Society. Check out all of our faves in the slideshow.
