Fair-trade paper jewelry

Filed under: Art, Fair-trade, Handmade, Jewelry, Photos, Store — Molly @ 3:57 pm

This is very colorful, fair-trade, handmade jewelry from Nairobi, Kenya.  Beads are made from recycled, rolled strips of paper and then used in bracelets, necklaces and earrings.  The fun, lightweight pieces are very affordably priced, while the artists making this jewelry are making 5x the national average wage in Kenya!

Recycled wool pins and pillows!

Filed under: Art, Handmade, Leland, MI, Photos, Recycled, Store — Molly @ 8:43 pm

We were lucky to get some exclusive pins and pillows from recycled, felted sweaters.  They are really cute, affordably priced, and will make great gifts!  New items will be added as we get them… We also have some recycled wool mittens from Peapack Mitten Co., the Brighton Peace Belt, handwoven belts from South America, a great selection of scarves, and always our BKG sweaters in great colors and styles.
