Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - Time To Hit The Beach

While some of the US is still fighting back the cold icy grip of winter, here in Palm Springs it is Time To Hit The Beach!  I love the beach, can't get enough of it!  Terry (hubby) and I took a day trip Saturday to beautiful Laguna Beach and now I have the beach bug.  It is has been on my mind all week.  Here are a couple of quick pictures I took with my poor half-dead camera.

So since that is where my mind is stuck I figure I might as well just go with the theme today.  I hope you enjoy my Upcycled Beach picks this morning.  Have a blessed day.

Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - Tang

Often I forget how much I love the color orange.  I don't usually where orange and currently lack that color in my wardrobe.  After seeing one of Etsy highlighted treasuries I was driven to post everything orange.  I am also thinking that I will need to find myself some orange to where for the summer.  What fun, bright and cheery, Sunny color!  I hope you enjoy my picks this morning.
Blessings

Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - Saint Patrick's Day

It's a beautiful morning in the desert and I am already counting down the days to the weekend.  The problem with wonderful weather it makes it difficult to focus on my day job but (sigh) one must pay the bills:)  I found some great items on Etsy today that involve upcycling and Saint Patrick's day.  Having grown up in an area that is still usually struggling through winter weather at this time of year, St Patrick's day was just what's needed to break up the cabin fever.  I can remember feeling that winter would never end at this point and would be very happy to decorate everything in green.

Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - It Ain't Easy Being Green

I have always loved nature.  As a child I would spend many hours hiking the woods behind my house, going on grand explores (as Pooh would say) and fantasizing about what it would be like to live off the land.  I also realized the importance of preserving and doing what we can to keep our world as clean as we can and well preserved.  Even small good choices can make a difference if everyone would pitch in.  Here are some wonderful items from ETSY that have been upcycled or recycled.  In the famous words of Kermit the Frog "It Ain't Easy Being Green" but it sure can make a fashion statement.
