I am sending out a HUGE thank you to the many friends and fans of who have been helping us spread the word about tannenboing, the modern, sustainable Christmas tree this year. We must first thank the great design blogs that have shared information about our eco Christmas tree with the wider world this year. Thank you to:

If It’s Hip, It’s Here
Pianeta Donna (Italy)

And of course, we must thank our Facebook and Twitter pals who have helped by sending out messages to their friends and followers about the modern, aluminum Christmas tree.

Thanks to the follow locations for sharing tannenboing with your visitors.
Flying Fish Restaurant, a fantastic, sustainable and modern restaurant in Seattle

And a certain, ultra-modern mall in Chicago (more to come).

And of course, thank you, thank you, thank you to those of you who have adopted a tannenboing.

It looks like we will be selling out this year. Thank you all so much for your support!

Art opening, includes modern christmas tree

Friday, November 19th, 2010

On Saturday, November 20th, from 5 – 8 pm, Columbia City Gallery in Seattle, WA will host an artist’s reception. I hope you can come out and see all the great offerings and see the tannenboing in the window. I’m very excited about this opening for several reasons:

  • the gallery is just a few blocks from our house, so my family and I can walk there.
  • most of the artists contributing to the show also live close-by, so purchases made at the opening are helping sustain my local community.
  • this show has a lot of great art and other handmade items, perfect for unique Christmas or holiday gifts.
  • the tannenboing is serving as a window display, so it is front and center helping display handmade Christmas ornaments made by local artists.

Everything about this event feels right to me: local artists, sustainable focus and creative gift options – perfect for a green Christmas!

Flying Fish and Tannenboing A Local, Fresh and Sustainable Pairing

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I am thrilled that Chef Christine Keff, owner of the iconic Seattle restaurant, Flying Fish, has chosen Tannenboing for the restaurant’s Christmas tree. I’ve been a fan of Flying Fish for over a decade now. My husband and I shared some of our first meals at Flying Fish when we  started dating, so this is also very sentimental for me.

Flying Fish and Tannenboing make a great match. Both are locally sourced, green and “fresh”. Chef Keff was one of the first chefs in the Seattle area to use only locally grown products, with an emphasis on organic food and sustainable fish. Tannenboing was made in the USA, in Everett, Washington in fact, just about 25 miles from the restaurant. Chef Keff’s new location at 300 Westlake boast a beautiful, light-filled modern interior and the Tannenboing will look right at home there.

Chef Keff told me that she is especially pleased that the contemporary, aluminum Christmas tree can be used for years, or even decades to come. The fact that the modern Christmas tree can be flat-packed away means that it will take up very little space in storage during the off season.

Frankly, I’m tickled green by this pairing!

I hope the aluminum Christmas tree helps you have a green Christmas!

A Hypoallergenic Christmas Tree Alternative

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I know that I often focus on tannenboing’s modern Christmas tree design or the eco-friendly nature of the tree, but several times now, customers have pointed out to me that a key feature for them is that tannenboing is a hypoallergenic Christmas tree. It seems there are many people who suffer from pine tree allergies. That smell of a fresh pine Christmas tree that so many people love and associate with the holidays, causes many to have terrible sneezing fits! Like me, these folks aren’t thrilled with an artificial Christmas tree, made out of PVC in China, but it is a drag to go treeless for the holidays.

I’m happy to know that tannenboing will show up this year in at least one household that has gone without a Christmas tree for years due to pine tree allergies. Now that makes for a Merry, Green Christmas!

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Ecofabulous featured tannenboing in their recent post “More Than Your Tree Can Be Green.” Ecofabulous – you are fabulous! Thanks for all the great green posts and I love your focus on beautiful design.

Anna Getty, Author of “I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas” twittered about tannenboing, saying “This is cool. As seen on ecofabulous.com. Pricey but will last a long, long time.” Thank you very much Ms. Getty! I’m thrilled with your tweet!.

Tree Hugging Family, in the post “A New Twist on a Green Christmas Tree” said “If you want a more permanent, yet still eco-friendly solution, check out the new tannenboing.” I’m sending hugs your way Tree Hugging Family!

Tannenboing was also featured on radio 1090’s Eco-minute by Lee Callahan. Thanks Lee – and I love the “boing” sound effects!

I’m launching tannenboing on a shoestring budget, so mentions in the great green design and eco friendly blogs and radio spots really helps me spread the word about tannenboing.

Thanks everyone!
