Beautiful Recycled at Cosa Verde

I discovered Cosa Verde while visiting The Next Arrow.  Cosa Verde is a collaboration of  Liz Grotyohann, a graphic designer and artist & Jeff Fein-Worton, a programmer; together with their buddies Milo Minderbinder and Boo Radley.  You can read more about them here.

I found that some of the sellers there can also be found at Etsy but what makes it different is that it actually focuses on one theme - "small changes can make a big difference in preserving our environment". So if you are looking for items that are not just handmade but are recycled, upcycled, repurposed and Earth-friendly, this is the place to find it.  Here are some of my favorite Cosa Verde finds for the day:

 recycled bib necklace by fabula
