How often do you make or buy homemade Halloween costumes that are used only once because they are too scratchy and uncomfortable to ever wear again? Too often I would imagine. Are you left with a pile of pirates, princesses, and various ghouls and ghosties with no little kiddy to make them come alive once the candy has been consumed and the pumpkins have been turned into pie?

If you'd rather your kids could make use of those homemade Halloween costumes and their imaginations year round let me introduce Sarah's Silks. Sarah's Silks is a company started by Sarah and Mike Lee from Sonoma California who are dedicated to helping create a better world through imaginative play.

Sarah's Silks offer a large selection of delicately delightful "quality play silks, toys and dress-ups for boys and girls between the ages of 3-10, that ignite the imagination, and capture the magical soul that lives in young children."

How are Sarah's Silks Homemade Halloween Costumes Made?

Silk is a natural fiber and renewable resource so it falls into that eco-friendly pile of playthings we so love here at Earth Friendly Goodies. Besides the eco-friendly nature of silk all the handmade dress-up silks use non-toxic vinegar-based dyes and are hand made by home based seamstresses in Shanghai China then shipped to Sonoma California where a group of women working in their homes finish sewing, ironing and packaging them.

Our daughters love playing dress-up year round and will break out the princess costumes any time day or night (princes need kissing and dragons need slaying at all hours it seems).

If you are looking for a unique fairy tale themed Halloween costume or a Halloween costume you can make at home Sarah's Silks has several homemade Halloween costumes and silky accessories to choose from including dragons, unicorns, knights, mermaids, and of course princesses and fairies. Not only does Sarah's Silks sell completed costumes they also sell many fun flavors of play silks that you can use however you like to make your own homemade Halloween costumes.

I stumbled upon Yeowww! 100% organic catnip toys while searching for Halloween costumes for cats at Amazon (yes they do actually make Halloween costumes for cats) These are cute little organic catnip toys completely handmade and made from 100% organic catnip so we can spoil our cats with organic goodness while we overindulge them with narcotic plants - but hey what's a little misdemeanor now and then for the love of our pets.

Yeowww! actually makes a rather large selection of homemade organic catnip toys and a few fun Halloween style catnip toys like the scary little pumpkins, ghosties and bats shown here.

If you have a black cat that is feeling misunderstood this Halloween season or any cat that could use a jolt of organic catnip goodness why not cheer them up with a good 'ol organic catnip toy. They may even say Yeowww!

Welcome to another edition of Earth Friendly Photo Friday, and what better way to celebrate Friday the 13th than with a spooky iridescent photo. I love the lighting in this photo and the spooky vibrant green. It is certainly reminiscent of any number of those classic horror films like Friday the 13th. (Hello, Anybody there...) You'll have to give some great feedback to Sylvain and check out his other earth friendly Flickr pics.

Until next month, have a very lucky Friday the 13th! and remember if you would be interested in contributing to Earth Friendly Photo Friday (with the potential of contributing to a Mr. Linky style photo share) please leave a comment below.

Are you looking for a boo-licious Halloween candy that you feel good about giving to all those special spooky kiddies - including your own? I just discovered YummyEarth Organic Lollipops and let me tell you these are the most delightfully delicious opulently organic heavenly Halloween candies I have dared to discover - yowza! I need a breather... Okay, what was I saying before I got a bit distracted by the memory of that first tantalizing taste?

Ah yes YummyEarth Organic Lollipops. These are USDA organic certified kosher allergen-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, egg-free, soy-free, nut-free, casein-free, dairy-free lollipops that are certainly not free of taste. In fact their unique "good for you" formula actually tastes better than regular candy because it is made from all-natural fruit extracts and use red cabbage and purple carrots for color.

Huh? Vegetable Organic Lollipops - Yeah Right

Cabbage and Carrot lollipops you're saying? Um, yes that's what I thought at first but actually you'd never know and even more importantly your kids won't know. The smell and taste of these YummyEarth candies are nothing short of, well Yummy.

YummyEarth lollipops are the perfect treat for Halloween and come in a wide selection of fun to say flavors including Sour Apple Tart, Pomegranate Pucker, Mango Tango, TooBerry Blueberry, Googly Grape, Strawberry Smash, Very Very Cherry, and Wet-Face Watermelon.
