Recycled metal chair from retired transit signs by Boris Bally
First to recommend
Description
Eco-funky and friendly furniture for the fast lane. Boris Bally's Transit Chairs are "humanufactured"TM from recycled, officially retired aluminum traffic signs. Hand-fabricated, -shaped and -finished, no two are alike, their unique markings and patinas earned on the road. Perfect for use indoors or out - stainless steel hardware won't rust, and used champagne corks on the legs protect flooring and provide stability.

Rock Album Cover Tote Bag
First to recommend
Description
Here's a groovin', versatile tote with both style and room to spare. Its velcro-enclosed clear vinyl sides hold two different authentic record jackets. When you want a new look, exchange them for covers in your collection. Two amplifier knobs (that still turn) decorate the sides and the two-inch wide shoulder strap is adjustable.

Handmilled Soap Pebbles from Afghanistan - Not Potatoes
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
This is not a depiction of the five life stages of a peeled potato. These unique handmilled soap pebbles, made in Afghanistan, are beautiful, extremely creamy and delicately scented--and they last much longer than a peeled potato, especially if you never get them wet. . The supersaturated eco-friendly soaps are molded to resemble beautifully polished, slightly irregular marble river stones that oddly enough, resemble potatoes.. The craftsmen use natural ingredients purchased from local farmers and their own distilled fragrances and natural coloring. No potatoes were harmed in the making of this recommendation.

Garden Glass Creations
First to recommend
Description
So eco-trendy that I barely have words to describe these garden ornaments made from recycled glasses and plates. This type of 'art' used to the sole domain of the nutty lady who lived on the corner of my street and hissed at us when we skipped by her house on the way to school each morning. Proves that there is a market for just about anything. Although I have to admit these are very pretty, even if they do bring back some emotional baggage.

'DREAM' TWIG WALL ART
3 people recommended this item
Description
In Spring
Dreams once frozen
by winter's chill
warmed by the sun
softened by the rain
poke shyly
through soggy turf
They see the Light
Life begins again
The wind whispers:
You can!
And so my dreams
Tired of the dark
energized by hope
Just blossom.
Poem by J. Boesinger who was inspired to write it while sitting under her 'Dream' Twig Wall Art.

TerraCycle Recycled Juice Drink Shopper Bag
6 people recommended this item
Description
EcoFunky! When I took this bag out for it public debut my friend Pam ooohed and ahhhed over it so much that I simply had to gave it to her. In return, she gave me two tupperware containers filled with her amazing potato salad and, most importantly, she let me keep the containers. Now I have to re-order the bag for myself. But who knows, I could make another great trade and turn even more people on to the TerraCycle Recycled Juice Bag. That's what eco-divas like me do in our spare time. (0:
