Shine a Little Repurposed Light...

Being an avid fan of lamps, and a firm believer that the right lighting can really help create a mood in any place, I want to share with you some great recycled, repurposed and vintage light sources that I'm crushing on...

Plastic Blows Tote - Recycled, Eco-Friendly by jpharris

Basically what all of these bags say to me is, "Get with the cool kids, and lose those nerdy plastic bags already." All I have to say in return is, "I'm already on it..."

Moss Mania

Moss is catching on in the crafting world. I have been a fan of mossy craftings ever since I discovered the awesome moss makes of Ottoman, like this Moss Pincushion



More recently, neatness like moss terrariums have cropped up, an ingeniously adorable conception of madebymavis. These little terrariums combine nature and vintage to form very unique decorative pieces.



And last in this wonderfully green moss collection today, comes a set of Gather Moss Earrings by AdornJewelry. They're so intriguing I can't look away!

Green in More Ways Than One

Cosaverde.com is this awesome site that showcases eco-friendly handmade items for sale. You could be selling your handmade stuff on Etsy, 1000Markets, Artfire, Dawanda, and many other places, and still get it showcased on Cosa Verde, making it a great one-stop resource for eco-friendly items. Albeit, the site is still in its infancy, it's coming along quite nicely. I've searched for green items on Cosa Verde to give you a taste of what you can find on this site...
