Many people who live in Seattle care about supporting companies that have chosen to go organic. We buy organic food to eat, make sure that our body-care products are made with organic ingredients and are increasingly interested in buying clothing made from organic cotton.

I used to think that custom jewelry was worn only by wealthy socialites and those "My Super Sweet 16" girls with money burning holes in their parents' pockets -- not regular ol' folks like me.

About this time of year I get the itch to do some major spring
cleaning. There's nothing better than throwing open the windows to let
in a little fresh air and getting down to some serious scrubbing.

Last year when Danielle Luartes, owner of Tweed in
Greenwood, moved her shop to a larger location, she also added some
plus-size lines to her inventory. It was a brilliant move, since many
collections sold in local boutiques are designed for smaller bodies,
and even the extra-larges are anything but large.

Your dog or cat is as much a fixture in your home as your sofa -- and
so is the hair-covered dog bed or the always-in-need-of-cleaning litter
box. For those concerned with appearances, Bellevue pet-furniture
company DenHaus offers a stylish alternative for the more unsightly aspects of pet ownership.

Last year was my first Mother's Day as a mom, and all I wanted was some sleep. This year, while I'd still like some sleep, I also want every single body-care product from Belli Motherhood, a sibling to the pregnancy and baby-care collections made by Seattle's Belli Skin Care.

Urban Living is a gem of a shop that focuses on feminine and fragrant
nature-inspired gifts and accessories for the home and body. On a
recent visit, I was most impressed by the shop's selection of perfumes
and room sprays, some of which I had never smelled before.

Spring has a way of reinvigorating my senses. Cherry blossoms -- fluffs of vibrant pink that stand out against gray Seattle skies -- are a sight for sore eyes, and birdsong, which swells as the season unfolds, is music to my ears. Nature also provides plenty of sweet scents this time of year, but I find myself craving products that are not only fragrant, but that will leave my dry winter skin soft to the touch.
