Suggestive Victorian Do Not Disturb doorhanger in chartreuse green

This is featured on Indiespotting!!

This wooden doorhanger warns "Do Not Disturb" in a delicious chartreuse green color scheme.

The picture is an actual page taken from an antique copy of "Little Women"... The book was destined for a landfill, I salvaged it for mache and the awesome illustrations it contained!

The look on the people's faces in the picture is very suggestive, as is the shocked look of the person in the portrait on the wall behind them!

I just HAD to play with this picture.

This is a one of a kind item and is shipped Insured via Priority Mail.

Repurposed Vintage 80s post Earrings w bonus Upcycled Ring in pink, blue, yellow, purple, green

These vintage 80's metal circular disc earrings were a plain Royal Blue until I got hold of them :)

I used some tissue paper from some 40th BDay gifts and some Weldbond non-toxic glue and turned them into pretty stained-glassish treasures....
I used an old "bone ring" bought from a vintage store and used the same technique, installing a few salvaged beads on it for some sparkly shine. It is a larger size, like an 8 to a nine so it is good on an index finger or thumb or larger sized finger.

This jives with any pink, yellow, green, purple or blue color scheme and POPS!!! with vivid color.
This set comes giftboxed.







Please reuse the box and keep it from becoming landfill...

Tangled Up In Blue Bangle of recycled materials with ribbon Crochet



This blue-tiful bangle is made of 90% recycled materials. The inital base is a piece of recycled aluminum foil, washed, and then wrapped with unwanted photocopies and paper mache of old phone book and then finished with a pink piece of recycled copy paper.
I crocheted pretty blue variegated ribbon yarn around it.
It is lustrous, shiny, very lightweight, and above all, Eco-Chic :). This is a great accessory for summer; unlike heavy plastic accessories, this won't make you sweat.

Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin through,
