And apparently the baby above loves it too!  This pattern is called Fish and Pebbles, and it’s one of the most attractive, least twee prints I’ve ever seen for a nursery.

The bright, cheerful orange and yellow print called Hearts and Flowers might just be girly enough to woo some of the tween girls I know away from the ever present pink that colors their world.

And for those who come into this world with an innate sense of curiosity and adventure, they can follow the tracks on their own Dinosaur bedding.

Available in sets for both crib and twin, Argington also makes cute floor mats and pillows.

Sometimes finding coordinated organic cotton bedding and pillows can be frustrating.  The patterns are often fairly plain, and the colors lean more towards earth tones.  Not so with Plover Organic’s linens!

Owners Marisa Kula Mercer, Sheila Mulvihill and Julia Wilbur, have cooked up a cornicopia of lovely, coordinating patterns to mix and match.

Founded in 2007, Plover Organic’s line is manufactured in India, in strict compliance with the Republic of India’s labor standards, as well as with Fair Labor practices.  All cotton is certified according to the standards of the Organic Trade Association (OTA) in the United States, and by those of IFOAM and SKAL internationally.  The dyes are all low-impact and fiber reactive, and all dye material is reclaimed so as not to be released into rivers or soil.

While the prints are fun and fresh, the pattern influence of East Indian block printing is easily seen.  In fact, Plover’s textiles ARE block-printed – by hand – so color and print variations sometimes occur.  I personally think that makes the prints even more appealing.

And for those looking for baby linens that are colorful and charming, in a very un-twee way, Plover Organics has those too!

Plover Organics can be found at many green retailers throughout the United States and Canada – check here for a list.  They can also be ordered online through EdenHome.com and Livingreen.com

I’m a sucker for squirrels, so It’s no wonder I’m absolutely in love with this adorable organic bedding collection from Amenity Nursery.

And if squirrels aren’t your thing, how about this great little duck family, which I swear looks like one of the early reader books from when I was a kid.

Made from 100% organic cotton, each of the four collections has coordinating blankets, sheets, pillowcases, and an organic wool filled crib bumper.

And for the kid in all of us, they also make stretched prints and floor pillows.  After all, grown-ups can love bunnies too!
