Wear it Wednesday: Marlow & the Boards, Barn, and Garlic Lapneck Tees

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Meet Marlowe! As you can see, she happens to be incredibly adorable and we therefore could genuinely not stop at just one photo of her rocking barley&birch threads.

Marlowe is the daughter of Drea, whose blog, ohdeardrea, we gushed about here.

We especially love the last photo of Marlowe enjoying some yummy butternut squash, as her mother shares some of the  health/safety/responsibility passions and ideas that we have about the production and consumption of food, and so we are pretty excited about (okay, jealous of) the delicious food that Marlowe has already grown up eating. (Read Drea’s recent post on food here.)

Drea is also hosting a barley&birch giveaway today so head on over to enter!

“Wear it!” Wednesday: Myles & the Longsleeve Wave Lapneck Tee

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Meet Myles Grady! He is (unbelievably adorably) rocking his longsleeved Wave Lapneck Tee.

Myles loves his 2 Labradors, jumping in his jump-a-roo and snuggling with his mama! His mother, the incredibly talented photographer behind Amanda Grace Images, therefore also notes that Myles also loves, “being the best model his photographer mother could ever hope for!”

We truly LOVE connecting with our customers, so seeing such a beautiful shot of one of them enjoying our clothing completely makes our WEEK.

Thanks to Myles and Amanda for the photos! (:

Meet Little E! She is the adorable daughter of Tara of the great Canadian Natural Mama. (Tara gave a wonderful review of barley & birch here!)

Little E just turned 2 and her mother reports that she is the wild child of the family. She is always on the go and loves to run, climb and explore. “She is wonderfully fearless- and will always be the first to jump in the lake or run off alone into the woods- to live with the bears. (have to keep a close eye on her).”

Little E loves nature, plants, and bugs- and has her own little organic garden that she is very proud of. She loves to eat blueberries, cucumber, tofu, and tim-bits.  She also loves to sing – She can also often be heard singing her favorite songs- the alphabet song, or old MacDonald.

Tara so kindly adds, “and of coarse Little E loves her new Barley and Birch Tee- it suits her personality perfectly. Sweet, natural, and completely unique.”

That just made our day. (:

Thanks to Tara and Little E for the photos!

“Wear it!” Wednesday: Chance

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010


Meet Chance! Chance is (incredibly adorably) sporting a tee near and dear to our heart, our Haiti Tee!

We donate 100% of the proceeds of this tee to groups we know well that are doing great work in Haiti. We believe in exactly what the shirt says, “Long term support for Haiti.” We are pleased to report that while media coverage has nearly ceased, there is still a lot of great work going on in the country and it continues to be rebuilt in a better way. You can snag our Haiti tees for you or your tots here.

Wait, but back to Chance. Seriously, how cute can you even get?
Chance’s mama, Traci, is a friend of Kyle’s  (that also happens to be a genius) and designed the tee. This is why Chance will daily request to wear “Mama’s shirt.” Adorable? Yes.

Chance is just about 2.5 years old. He loves being outdoors, playing in his sand box and searching for worms and other crawly things. To his mother’s delight, he is quite passionate about painting and drawing. He also loves using his toy tools to help Daddy fix things around the house.

His favorite foods are strawberries, blueberries and quesadillas. Traci reports that, “He’s also quite the singer and dancer! And he LOVES his barley and birch Haiti tee – proudly pointing out the  ”Hearrrrt!” to any passer by!”

Well, we think he is just about the coolest little boy ever. Thanks to Traci and Chance for the photos and for being so darn sweet.

Meet the first “Wear it!” Weds. tot of the new blog/website! She goes by BB and is the darling daughter of Jennifer at Momma’s Review. (Jennifer recently posted a darling review of barley&birch here.)

BB is 11 months old and a big fan of bananas, blueberry muffins and frozen peas. Her mother notes that, “Unlike her older brother, BB eats mostly table food as opposed to those prepackaged Gerber meals – which we love!”

BB has been cruising furniture since she was 8 months old and will likely start walking any second. Her favorite person in the world is her older brother. He’s the one who can make her stop crying by singing her a song. She loves to follow him from room to room and play with all of his toys, whether he likes it or not! (Her darling brother was featured in one of our first “Wear it!” Weds. posts ever!)

Well we think Miss BB is about as darling as you can get.

Thanks to Jennifer and BB for the photos!
