Taking a cue from Shayne

A few posts ago, fellow DC Mafia-er, Shayne, posted some of her favorite green items from Etsy, and I'm going to copy her, but with a slightly different definition of "green."

Here are some of my favorite recycled, upcycled, reused, repurposed, eco-friendly or otherwise "green" handmade goodies from Etsy.

Seriously, how cool are these? Toys made from recycled metal and soda caps. She makes whistles too!

Betz White is an all time fave (and a resident of Maryland)! Her recycled sweater crafts are too cute for words!

Pendants from recycled envelopes - how'd those get in here?
