Go to the EtsyTwitter Team’s blog to see screenshots of other treasuries recently curated. You may also follow the links to Etsy to see more. Don’t forget, it is the final days of the EtsyTwitter Team’s GO GREEN Event. Lots of shops have specials and sales going on! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’ll be back blogging on Tuesday!
I am so excited! I snagged my first REAL Treasury today! I had a Treasury West the other day, and I think I am now addicted. I waited online for quite some time today to get into the main Treasury. Here is a picture. Click on it and you will be taken to the Treasury on Etsy–for the next three days only. Then it expires. It is full of my new “tweeps” (friends on twitter).
I tried re-snagging the Treasury West today, with no luck. I missed it. Maybe later tonight? Who knows… I am working on the layout for two different ones. One about storage ideas and one themed “urban.” Stay tuned to my blog, of course I will share them here if I get one!
These 2″ long pair of unique earrings have been added to my “must have” list as well. They are fashioned from vintage plastic and glass beads. The pieces are assembled by hand, without soldering, to create a light, free-moving feel. Threepeats has LOTS of cool jewelry pieces made from vintage items. See for yourself!
DID YOU KNOW THAT PMC (precious metal clay) IS ACTUALLY A RECYCLED PRODUCT? During photo processing, silver is recovered. That silver is mixed in with a binder making a clay-like material that can be worked, rolled, formed, stamped, etc. and then fired to create beautiful, fine silver pieces. Made by Punky Jane.
I must, just MUST have one of these pendants. The red is my favorite! Being a wanna be geek, I just think these repurposed circuit boards are too cool! Red circuitry with shiny surface detail was hand cut and ground by Amanda from a recycled circuit board. It rests in a round bezel and is covered in clear resin. Amanda takes custom orders and can turn the pendant into a key chain.
Elephant poo paper? Well, this is a beautiful card, none the less. It’s very earth-friendly paper. Don’t worry, it’s cleaned and sterilized, and it does not smell. To learn about this poo paper and find out why it’s such a great way to Go Green, please follow this link: http://www.mrelliepooh.com/aboutus.html Above information was copied from NestOfOwl’s shop.

Browsing team member’s shops, I was looking for vintage, repurposed, or recycled items. This is what I found for today’s post.
This lovely pillow was once a wild vintage sweater made of a thick, soft 100% shetland wool in a pattern of turquoise, charcoal grey, pinks, yellows, and a darker blue! FirebirdHouse Designs felted and recycled it to make this perfect pocket journal pillow. FirebirdHouse Designs created the design, which features a 4.5 x 7.5 in pocket on the back of the pillow, made of 100% wool turquoise felt, and decorated with upcycled felted flowers, leaves, and embroidery. Purchasing something like this for your home supports artists, handmade, and the green movement.
Jenco13 makes this item, an eco-friendly alternative to disposable paper coffee cup sleeves. It makes a great gift for a family members, teachers, bus drivers, friends, others, and yourself!!! Better, yet, I recommend checking with your local coffee shop about a discount if you bring in your OWN coffee mug with a crochet coffee cup sleeve. Where we get our morning coffee, we are able to fill our own mug for just $1… For GOURMET coffee! Yum! This saves money and saves our environment. Remember the little things like these. They add up!

Each day for the rest of the promotion, I will feature other green items from Etsy and the EtsyTwitter Team, so keep checking back!
Eh. Truth be known, I guess I am really just a geek wannabe. Regardless of who or what you are, you are bound to find something fun in geekdetails shop.
