Thanks, I’m an ebayphobic. Is that a real word — the whole ebay world makes no sense to me what-so-ever. Lucky me though, I live about 20 minutes away from the largest bookstore in the world so I’ll check there. If they don’t have it, I don’t know who does. Thanks for the tip

Hey I have a prego friend!

Love the houses, though i have seen the ideas before. Doesn’t change the loveliness , though.

Oh, book for you-Re/Uses By Carolyn Jabbs. Ebay it! My copy was a penny with 3.99 shipping. It’s totally you, trust me.

You’re too funny! Guess who I’m sending the hose to? (Just kidding). Someone will LOVE it believe me if you were preggers you would.

The cardboard home is cheap — because of the material. If they can figure out how to make it larger and a bit more sturdy, perhaps with some more mainstream functions I think it would be great for many. It’s nice so many people are working on ways to help the environment.

I’m hoping that maternity hose is something you wear and not something you’re supposed to spray yourself down with?

Anyway, love the New Zealand treehugger house, but am strangely intrigued by the cardboard house. It sort of looks like a play house! But it actually works? You can cook in it and it won’t burn? It can be stormy outside and the whole thing won’t just dissolve? Way cool! I love the idea of a house that you can assemble in 12 man-hours. Especially if it was cheap.

Thanks for more great finds!

Okay, update… I get to give the hose to a friend. Which rocks since I also write a pregnancy and baby blog. Good to know… I was worried I was having a baby! That’s really nice of Kate though. I don’t think I’ve ever won a blog contest before

Interesting development. I think my friend Kate has the wrong Jennifer. But I love Babylune and suggest anyone who likes babies or parenting click on that link; Kate’s name, and pay her a visit. I’ll just go clear this up now.

Really Offbeat readers — I’m not pregnant I would have told you
