At last December's Chicago Renegade Fair I could not pass up purchasing a kid's T for my nephew and onesie for my coming niece from Earth Cadets, a Chicago based screen printer. To be fair, I raided the sales bins, but scored some adorable pieces.
To be clear, I know next to nothing about baby clothes. I picked them out solely because they are cute. My sister-in-law, Greta, on the other hand, knows a lot about baby clothes. She cannot stop raving about this specific purchase.
Charlie fit right in the T and Greta always talks about how much she loves it because
Recently I looked into the company a bit more (as I was looking for more purchases) and found it's committed to the environment and all her designs are printed on organic cotton shirts.
Not to worry, I am sticking to my saving spree, but that really only applies to myself so I am able to buy others gifts. Callie has a baptism coming up and Charlie has his first day of school! (Bring over a tissue box please! ;) Just kidding...I only cry for books and movies.) Clearly both these items require gifts. =)
You can bet I'm looking out for Earth Cadets at any festival I go to! Not only do I love the products, but I'm totally behind the ideology of the company.
P.S. Here's a little more info about Earth Cadets featured on Etsy.
Thanks to Greta for always posting photos!

Charlie fit right in the T and Greta always talks about how much she loves it because
- it's cute
- soooo soft. She always loves giving Charlie hugs, but she says she holds him a little bit longer when he's wearing that specific T.
- Charlie can have a bit sensitive skin and this T causes zero problems.

WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT ORGANIC COTTON?
The term organic describes a method of farming without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides or fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation or genetic engineering, and are certified by an accredited independent organization. It is a system of farming that strives for a balance with nature, using methods and materials that are of low impact to the environment
