I have spent months with baby fever, in part because so many of my blogging friends recently had or are having babies and I wanted to remember what it felt like again. Sending my daughter off to kindergarten only multiplied that effect, although I wonder how wise it is to wish for an infant now that the house is finally quiet in the daytime…lol. Still, I find myself intrigued by all things baby, so these deals definitely caught my attention. First up is the gorgeous bedding set by Ferm Living shown above. It is crib sized, but most experts do not recommend putting a duvet in a crib with a sleeping infant, so it would probably best be used on a toddler bed. It comes with a pillow case and duvet in a matching storage bag.

Some people are against using area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpet, but if you’re a renter like me and have no choice about your flooring, you can likely appreciate the power of an area rug to transform an otherwise boring space. Not to mention that it is covering up carpet that may not have been changed through several tenants. These maize rugs from World Market are both stylish and affordable, currently on sale for just $20.

I’ve never been much of a fan of quilts, and I’ve never even remotely considered making one. But give me a free afternoon and you just might find me at the nearest quilting store looking for fabulous new fabrics to use in various home projects. I wouldn’t recommend quilting weight fabrics for heavy upholstery, but there’s no law against using them for curtains, pillows, art, etc. So when I discovered that…
- Mod Green Pod makes organic quilting weight fabrics, and
- That those fabrics are less than $9 a yard (at least at this retailer, compared to $39.75/yard for upholstery weight fabrics)

As much as I love eco-friendly decorating and will go the extra mile to find a used or sustainably-made version of anything I need, even I sometimes get burned out on the high cost that is so often associated with truly green products. I understand the reason behind the pricing, to some extent, but it’s still nice to find a beautiful, green product for a reasonable price. Besides, it’s been too long since I’ve featured a Green Steal of the Week 
These stools, woven from sustainable water hyacinth, and organic cotton napkins are a good way to end the dry spell.
