Everything is Greener in my Neck of the Woods
Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.
I love supporting companies that make their products in the USA, but I also love supporting artisans from around the world. I like supporting companies that make their products in the US because they pay fair wages and are responsibly made. All around the word, handmade products are being made ethically. Alternatives Global Market is an online store that features ethically sourced handmade goods from all over the world.

With the holidays approaching, I am turning to the internet to make my purchases. I also love supporting people that make their own goods. If you haven’t explored Etsy, I highly recommend checking it out, everything is handmade! mi cielo is a company that creates handmade shirts. Well, they don’t make the shirts, but they do create the pattern on the shirt using felt. mi cielo clothes are made in Hawaii and was started by a mom who wanted to add a little flair to her son’s wardrobe.
mi cielo was born out of a love for creating something unique and playful for my own child, Tristan. After a few months into a new motherhood, I was tired of my baby boy’s basic boring clothing. So I began hand-stitching felted flair to add a bit of variety to his wardrobe.
And so mi cielo was born
Next thing I know, I had a gigantic pile of appliquéd clothing in our bedroom! My husband told me to start selling them so that we can get our space back, and that’s how mi cielo was born!I believe every single little one is so unique and special in his/her existence, especially for his/her family, so forget mass production! I want to create a one and only special item for every single little one and his/her family!
You can find shirts for the entire family at mi cielo:
Don’t they look great? There are so many options to choose from! The shirts are made with 100% recycled eco felts, cotton, threads, and screen printing. All felt pieces are hand cut and sewn onto the shirt.
I was sent an Art-D2 shirt for my son. Ben loves wearing shirts that have “pictures” on the front! I can’t stand shirts with sayings or weird pictures, so I buy a lot of plain shirts. My son also claims that he can’t put on a plain shirt because he won’t know which way it goes…not the best argument, but I get the picture! My son also recently discovered Star Wars, so I thought a Star Wars themed shirt would make his day! I was right. He loves it! I can tell the shirt is made with care and it looks great. The quality is amazing! I think I am going to get my daughter a Hello Kitty one because I know she will want a cool shirt too!
Here is the detail up close!
These shirts will make great Christmas presents and to get you started with your holiday shopping:
