About this list:

Spring inspires me! It is my new favorite season. Being the whimsical diva that I am, I will soon have another favorite...and then another. But for now the green hopefulness and awakening of the year beckons to me. I am not sure if this will be a goofy list like the rest of mine or tasteful contributions like so many of my ThisNext pals seem to be able to find. Hmmmm...guess we'll both have to wait and see.

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.

TerraCycle 8" Urban Art Pot

5 people recommended this item

Description

I like to fantasize that my TerraCycle Urban Art Pot was recycled from pieces of my first Gateway computer, all $2500 of it with its super capacity 256K hard drive. A fitting ending as now a 256K memory stick costs about the same as this pot.

My TerraCycle pot is a cool blue and I have it out on my deck. I love that it looks like a color washed terracotta pot and it is doing "good" for the environment too.

Description

Sweet and quirky just like the movie. Ellen Page has a surprisingly good voice. I only wish it was a little longer but I went ahead downloaded the MP3 via Itunes as it is a two minute reminder to keep life and love simple.

'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.
