through njal (not just a label) i discovered a montreal designer by the name of melinda santillan. her tshirt line, by the name of ADIEU, features her moody watercolor grayscale drawings. i happen to think they are really lovely and so does urban outfitters, elle uk and various others who are buzzing about these tees. on the mexican-canadian artist’s blog you can find a shoot, entitled ‘ghost in my room‘, which she directed and deems her inspiration, which is very evident. as much as i have a stupid fear of ghosts (dont make fun of me !!!), i am far too friendly with adieu tshirts. courtesy of santillan, she has hooked up goldzmine with a giveaway- for both boys and girls- and if you care to enter email goldzmine@hotmail.com with your name, address and a scary story (i wont lie, thats just for kicks). good luck and the pictures are courtesy of erica pucci !

Cotton is woven throughout life – in towels, t-shirts, swabs, diapers, snacks, sheets and pillowcases.  Cotton  forms half the globe’s textile sales, but most cotton is not as environmentally friendly as you might expect.  Conventionally grown cotton consumes approximately  25% of the insecticides and more than 10% of pesticides used in the world.  Conventional farming devours roughly a third of a pound of pesticides and fertilizers to produce enough cotton for a single t-shirt.  By choosing organically grown cotton, you can reap all the benefits of cotton’s beauty, comfort, and strength while minimizing harm to people and the planet.
Staying environmentally conscious is important to Pure Fiber.  That’s why we use raw materials such as viscose from bamboo and organic combed cotton.  Our organic cotton towels and bedding retain their plush softness and durability while still contributing to this organic movement to better our environment.

Some of the greatest tees on redbubble during 2009.

Her store began with nature photographs taken in the mid 1990’s Erie, PA., continued with her 1999 collection of Washington DC shots which began her foray into digital photograph. If this were not enough Ms Hiller has begun a new range of designs based on her passion for fabric and fashion.

Egyptian Motif Womens Mini Slip On Shoes By Lee Hiller Designs

Born in Portland, Or., she knew she wanted to see the world. Her career in software as an instructional engineer took her from Oregon to the South Pacific to New Zealand to Erie, back to Portland and finally Hot Springs, Ar where she decided to settle along with her Sony Cybershot camera.

Though she began taking her wildlife and nature photography seriously in Erie, capturing squirrels, birds, flowers and trees all in their natural habitat, as far as she was concerned, she was simply enjoying the process of the creativity of photography and knew she was building a beautiful photo album.

In 2009, Lee Hiller, who was now Google’s top ranked “America’s Favorite Love Columnist” (yes she can write too), moved to Hot Springs to be with her fiancé’, Rick London. London, who had already been in Hot Springs a decade and ancestors who lived there many years ago when Al Capone settled there to open his headquarters, showed her the city and it was not long before Ms Hiller was climbing the main mountains with her Sony Cybershot capturing the local scenery and wildlife photography.

It did not take her long to pick up and literally run with digital designing. London, a cartoonist and designer, had been working within ten feet of her in the same home office, making gifts and after a month together looked up to find she too had begun designing items for her own store. Hiller took it a step further in that she has found a way to scan fabric, build a huge inventory and transform everything from designer shoes to Psychedelic mouse pads and retro 50s Atomic Martini Club tees, to key chains to aprons and much more. Working from her scanned collection she has created an eclectic mix of hip modern and retro designs. When ask about her inspiration she states, “My Fiancé’ Rick and his amazing designer collection of Love Quote shoes and wildly funny cartoon gifts”.

Valentine Heart Mugs by Lee Hiller Designs

Since moving to Arkansas she ventures in to the Hot Springs National Park to capture the beauty of its many trails. In the Hot Springs Historic District she is known for her photographs of Bath House Row architecture and tiles. She even has her own section of her store at LeeHillerDesigns.com which features Hot Springs, AR on various gifts products and collectibles.

In just two short months Hiller has designed 5000+ products in her main gift shop and won 14 TBAs (Today’s Best Award) which Zazzle gives to creators of the best products of the day. This may not seem like much but the competition is fierce with over 5 billion products a day in competition with her.

We are proud to be the UKs only stockist of Barley & Birch, a company who are commited to looking after the planet and the people who make their products whilst maintaining a beautiful looking product.

The t-shirts are made in the USA using 100% certified organic cotton and water-based inks. (They don’t pollute the earth, water, or expose farm workers to toxins.)

At least 15% of their profits go to several carbon-reducing initiatives in order to fully offset the carbon emissions that result from the production of our garments.

As well as at least another 15% going to organizations that improve people’s lives around the world.

Which is why we love them so much, and for every shipment we get from them we will plant a tree to offset our carbon fotprint getting them here and to you.

This celebrity favourite is sure to get everyone’s attention for being beautiful and gorgeous.

We also have some one of a kind upcycled pieces, so called because they are made using designer remnants, these are handmade and totally unique so you can be sure never to see another one like it in the world!

We always like to put our son in the clothes we sell and this one is no different, the fit is perfect and it just looks great on. Gone are the days of over white t-shirts, these look natural and beautiful and I only wish they did them in adult sizes!

Today was the Winter Carnival and it was a huge success! With the help of our new t-shirts we were selling, we made a lot more money than last year! Also, the Costco Muffins we were selling for $1 were really good too! For those who missed buying our t-shirts, they are $8, and if you give us the money, we can put you down for an order. Don’t forget! Meetings will resume after winter break on Thursdays in Ms. Bergen’s room.
