Hello my friends!
I was introduced to Warm Hands Green Heart just today! A good friend of mine knows the owners and I think this is an amazing idea. Not only can they make mittens from your out of style garments --- but I think one of the most amazing aspects of their business is the heirloom portion. One of my co-workers just lost his wife to cancer last week and we are having a pair of mittens made from one of her sweaters. This will be a gift to his 18 year old daughter.
I get teary eyed thinking of how memorable and special this will be for Steve's daughter…because I remember being a child (and even now as an adult) and when my fingers would get cold my mom would rub my hands, cup them together in hers and blow warm air on them to warm them up. I am sure that this is something most mothers do for their children. In a way, wearing a pair of mittens made out of an item of clothing her mother wore is like having her mother there warming up her cold fingers. That is truly amazing to me!
I encourage all of you to check out the website. In a world so consious of recycling, this is a great way to help the environment while doing something special for someone else. Hence the name of the company I guess... Warm Hands Green Heart! Enjoy!
