I would love to have 4 or 5 of the cork hairspring clips! My daughter, granddaughter,and myself all have waist length hair which we put up alot. every time they visit all my hair accessories suddenly disappear. If I had a few matching ones, I wouldnt have to worry about not having anything to do my own hair with. Living here in the south, those of us with long hair really are on the lookout for attractive ways of clipping hair. this eco friendly cork hair spring clip looks awesome and unusuable. eco~chic!…

I’d love to win this because by using items like this I’d be a great example to everyone who sees me with it. I’d tell them about products like this, and where to find them! A lot of great items at Nature’s Cork.. I think the Letter Opener is a fabulous useful item!

I’d love the cork apron! I’ve been looking for an apron for a year, and haven’t found one yet that I’d do backflips over, but the cork one would fit the bill!

I am so happy to have found this link. These products are fabulous. Why would I like to win? I am just concluding a completely green renovation of my kitchen that took over 8 months. I was able to recycle, freecycle or repurpose 99% of the building materials. This include the chimney I took out (new walkway), the old nails, even the plaster lathes that are being repurposed for garden sheds. It was an amazing project that I took the utmost pride in. We took a 180 year old kitchen down to the studs and in the process we met amazing folks who are committed to reusing antique building materials as well as finding unique ways to reincorporate the materials in our own home. Our new kitchen is a blend of the old look with wonderful natural earth touches to bring the outside in such as a slate backsplash.
All that being said, I would LOVE to have a cork apron to cook with in my new kitchen! It is always great to see people using natural materials in new and innovative ways!
i like the Gladiator Bracelet
The executive bag is veery nice.
I’d love to win because any of the items would make a great Christmas gift! My fave item is the P Line Signature Duffle Bag.
