Win! Recycled Glass Spoon Rest: Earth Friendly Etsy Shop: BPR Designs: Giveaway!

May 5, 2010 0

This week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop is BPR Designs (Kiln Formed Glass). BPR Designs is owned and operated by Beth who lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband of 31 years. BPR Designs is full of cheese plates that are made from recycled bottles. Wouldn’t these make a fun hostess gift? A Mother’s Day gift? Isn’t the blue gin bottle fantastic?

Where does Beth find her inspiration? She loves nature and finds inspiration in the colors of her garden, the beach and mountains. Beth is a master composter, which makes her garden very happy and also uses recycled materials in all of her packaging.

When Beth isn’t fusing glass, you will find her sipping a fantastic Northwestern wine, taking a Pilate’s class or traveling to China with her husband. How fantastic is that?

Beth at BPR Designs is giving a fun spoon rest to one of my lovely readers, just leave a comment to enter to win!

It’s Sandal Weather: Time for Simple Shoes Eco Friendly Flippee

May 3, 2010 1
I am a flip flop girl. When I lived in Florida, flip flops are the only type of shoes that I ever wore. I love them. Now that it is warming up here in Colorado, the flip flops are back out of the closet. I just found these Eco friendly flip flops from Simple Shoes called the Flippee. Flippee’s are made from recycled soda bottles, with a foot form that is made using post consumer recycled paper and a biodegradable sole. Not to mention that glues that are used are water based, which means no nasty chemicals for the workers who put the shoes together to breath or that hurt the environment. And they are vegan, no animal products or by products here! Fantastic! I think I need a pair in chocolate rainbow.

May 3, 2010 1
I am so glad that Spring is finally here and with is bicycle weather. Isn’t it fun to just jump on your bicycle to go the market, library or just to feel the wind in your hair as you peddle around your neighborhood? Can you tell that I love bicycles? I also love, love, love cargo bicycles. The ability to take your children and dogs with you is fantastic. And picking up some groceries from the market in this type of bicycle is super easy and convenient. Isn’t this Mobii Cargo Trike from Velorbis fantastic?
