Have a Lovely Weekend + A Few Green Things

December 10, 2010 0
Hello, everyone! How has your week been? Mine has been super busy. Sweet Greens has many exciting new things in store for the coming new year – I can’t wait to share them with you. One thing I will share now – I will be starting Earth Friendly Etsy features back up. That’s right, every Wednesday of next year, there will be a fabulous Etsy feature and giveaway! So, if you own a fabulous Eco Etsy shop – drop me a note and I will get you on the editorial calendar.

Have you started wrapping your holiday presents? If not, I have a great feature coming up next week on great ways to wrap gifts with stuff you will find around your house and recycling bin. Also, stay tuned next week for the last 7 days of The 12 Days of Etsy – starting with two great giveaways on Monday. If you haven’t had a chance to enter the first five, no worries, click here.

While I get ready for a cozy weekend, here are few green things that I have wanted to share with you:

– A whole bunch of FREE printable holiday labels and tags. Enjoy.
– OMGoodness – Ducklings blown right off their feet. Good job gathering them back together mama.
– The PERFECT toy box for Eben. He has LEGOS on the brain.
– Because a pig wearing boots is adorable.
– I agree, rabbits do seem to disapprove of everything I do. (I have a great story to go along with that!)
– Do you think that I could get Mr. Sweet Greens to do a holiday video? Cute.
– Wow! These seed pod babies would make a fun stocking stuffer.
– Kitty Christmas cards.
– I love Joel’s holiday reindeer cards. Sweet.

– I love, love, love red wellies. Mine are still packed!
I hope you have a cozy weekend too!
xo,
Sweet Greens

#5 – The 12 Days of Etsy: Sparkover: Digitial Dot Necklace

December 10, 2010 0
♫♪ On the fifth day of Etsy, my true love gave to me a fabulous digital dot necklace, a gift certificate for fabulous pillows, three FLY Art Kits, two recycled ice skate ornaments and something that will make me look pretty. ♫

Giveaway number five is a fantastic digital dot necklace from Sparkover. Sparkover is jewelry that is made from computer leftovers that have been given a second life. Fastastic! Everything that Sparkover uses to create their jewelry was slated for the landfill. Sparkover is taking back the intricate insides that were once used to make technology work by turning it into something cool – and they succeed!

I am quite smitten with the upcycled circuit board mustache necklace. – Yes I do need a mustache necklace. Don’t you?

 
 
And how about the totally awesome circuit board ring. Totally awesome, right?

And don’t even get me started on the mini sparks upcycled circuit board earrings. Are they cute or what?

Jump over to Sparkover and pick up something for someone you love, then leave a comment below. You have 1 week to enter – please tell your family and friends so they don’t miss out on the fun. 

– The winner is Sarah Eliza. Congrats and thanks for playing!
