I know there are diehard environmentalists who don’t appreciate commercialism that’s tied to Earth Day. But, let me tell you what Team Eco Etsy does every year. We sponsor Handmade for Earth Day Auction to raise money for non-profit organizations. So this year, I am participating again. In fact, I just finished (yes, it’s past midnight) uploading the auction pages on Eco Etsy’s site and oh boy, am I going [...]

Goodbye Summer and Hello Fall!

I can’t believe summer is already gone. When and how did that happen? These past few months have been all a blur to me. I guess too many things happened this summer and I just as soon would like to forget about them. I can’t wait for the  the cool breeze (I think they said this was the hottest summer on record. Global warming, anyone?), fallen leaves, pumpkin pies, and [...]

Team Eco Etsy

I opened my first shop ‘ecogeneration’ on Etsy, end of October 2008. I had no idea what I was doing and I certainly had no direction as to what I was going to sell and how much to charge. But I was so flabbergasted when I had my first sale – a set of “Plastic Bottle Cap Birds Nest Magnets”. I couldn’t believe that someone actually liked what I made [...]

Birds Nest Magnets are nominated

The plastic bottle cap birds nest magnets are nominated by kimquinndotcom for the Eco Etsy Team’s blog. It’s always exciting when someone recognizes your work but these magnets are special to me because these magnets were one of the first items I started to sell when I opened my Etsy shop. Since then, I made soap dishes, picture frames, and abstract art pieces with them. These non-recyclable plastic bottle caps [...]

See my soapdish tutorial on EcoEtsy’s team blog!

You’ll love this. Eco Etsy’s blog featured my soap dish tutorial! How cool is that? It explains why I decided to make this soap dish for myself but also to show you how easy it is to make it. We can upcycle anything we want and these non-recyclable plastics are perfect for making this soap dish. Why waste and add plastic to our landfills when we can use them? Isn’t [...]
