In honor of Earth Day this past Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to highlight some unique and "eco-chic" entertaining products today. Through conversations with friends, I've found that it's common to initially associate the phrase "environmentally friendly" with products that pretty much look like a burlap sack and aren't exactly "fashion-forward", to say the least. While that may have been the norm at one time, I'm happy to report that times have changed! It might surprise you how colorful and stylish earth-friendly tableware and entertaining products can be these days. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
