Watch This!
If the 21-inch Hoffman TV with a hickory wood frame looks like a blast from the past, that’s because … it is. This limited-edition, completely restored set was called “EZ Vision” back in the day because its pale green safety glass was said to be “easier on the eyes.” Cable/DVD-ready; $850.

Out to Dry
What’s so great about the Millenium Towels in grass? They’re made by Bonjour in Switzerland of 100 percent beechwood microfiber that is farmed in Scandinavia and harvested under strict, controlled forestry conditions. The dyes are nontoxic and colorfast. The company believes these towels make “a great alternative to those made of conventionally grown cotton, a crop whose production takes an enormous toll on the air, water, and soil, not to mention the health of people living and working in cotton country. (Nearly two-thirds of all pesticides used worldwide are applied to cotton crops.) They are highly absorbent and their light weight aids in quick drying, so they require less energy than thicker terry towels;” $12-$64.
