Today is My Birthday!

February 10, 2010 20

♫ Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear Sweet Greens. Happy Birthday to me.♫

Goodness another birthday, I can hardly believe it. Do you remember when I said ‘I want a fairy house?‘ Well, guess what Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben remembered and that is exactly what I received for my birthday. My fairy garden comes complete with a lovely little chair for her to sit in and gardening tools to garden, of course. Also, my fairy will live in a cactus and succulent garden because that is just how I roll. Aren’t birthday’s fun?

Other fun goodies I recieved for my birthday:: A fantastic homemade birthday dinner with my lovely husband and son {we celebrated on Sunday}, A lovely bracelet from my mother and father, fun music from my father in law {have you heard of Richard Cheese?}, gifts cards from my best girlfriends and mother and father in law, another bracelet from my best friend, and fantastic books for my kindle from my sister and brother in law.

How about you lovely readers, what are you wishing for on your birthday?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Bodhicitta Recycled Stemless Wine Glass Tumblers Giveaway

February 10, 2010 60

Today’s Earth friendly Etsy Shop is Bodhicitta. Bodhicitta is a fantastic shop full of wonderful glassware made from recycled wine bottles. Fantastic, no? Zeke, a glass artist and the owner of Bodhicitta has been manipulating glass since high school. Zeke decided to use liquor bottles as his preferred medium because he loves, “the metaphor of redemption, the phoenix, the underdog comeback that can be found in reclaimed glass. This is the exact reason that I love Bodhicitta.

Zeke also choose liquor bottles because only 25% of glass bottles are recycled and he wanted to find a way to give bottles a new life. Also, Zeke has been able to quit his day job to focus on his art, you can read more about his transition on the Etsy blog.

Wouldn’t this glassware be fantastic in your kitchen? I love the different shades of colors and think this is a fabulous idea. Wouldn’t these make fabulous housewarming gifts? Does your love have a favorite beer, how about a set of recycled beer bottle glasses or soda bottle glasses for the kids?

Zeke also says, “It took some hard life lessons for me to learn that we are all interconnected. What you do today, right now, matters the most. You are creating and influencing the world around you at every moment so take a deep breathe, smile and shine light into your sphere of influence. It’s how we can all make the world a better place.” Lovely.

Zeke @ Bodhicitta has been so wonderful to offer ONE of my lovely readers a set of 4 stemless wine glasses. How great is that?
