To badly paraphrase Rachel Carson, if a child is to keep the inborn sense of wonder he or she is born with, they'll need the companionship of an adult who has a decent grasp of what is going on in the natural world, among other places. To that end, a group of Cornwall's most wonder-full naturalists have compiled a seasonal, poetic "Field Guide" to Cornwall's fields and meadows. Printed and assembled by hand and gilded with beautiful reproductions of Ellen Moon's watercolors, the field guide is a lovely cheat sheet for parents and an inspiration to all to sit and watch the hedgerow. Printed in a limited, numbered edition of 200, each Field Guide is $25. 
And in an attempt to resolve once and for all the "paper or plastic?" dilemma, Motherhouse, with the help of Eco-Bags, has created these organic cotton, fair-trade, hand silk-screened market bags featuring a gorgeous pumpkin woodcut by Debra Tyler. Wear your convictions on your shoulder, letting the world know that you buy LOCAL and bring your own bag (BYOB). Each bag is $15, while supplies last.
