The Recycled Wood Bangle of InBloomDesigns are made from wood that has been salvaged from construction and job sites. The one that will be in 'Perennial' was made from an old beam that was about to go into the garbage. But, be sure it's recycled when you order (as not all of the pieces are), and you'll help support their earth-friendly endeavors!

Revisiting an old friend from the days when SBTL was YDB.Foundling's finely-
crafted necklaces, earrings, and the incredibly lovely Poppy Corsage.

SustainabiliTee just published some great photos of Ian and Ashley, two of their latest models.

The ruggedly durable and infinitely useful Mrs. Bowe Bag. Made from Scandinavian fabric reclaimed from the 60's and 70's and reused army bags; by KatrinaKaye.

A tactile, textile heaven; 'SweetCheeks' bag made from repurposed fabrics by RefreshAccessories.

The Blossom Bag by Infusion. Beautifully crafted from unbleached, undyed, natural hemp and made in an eco-friendly studio.

The chunky knit, silky warm, Earthly Fae Hood by Pixiebell Elfinwear. What could be better than a Scarf Hat? A Scarf Hat that's 100% organic cotton and made to order.

Take a look at Hilary, SustainabiliTees' latest model to wear the super-soft and hand-printed tee shirts commonly found at the website SustainabiliTee.com.

The touchable Money Bag Wallet. Made from reused money bags with a great weight and weave by ChakraPennyWhistle.

Comfortable fitting, recycled fabric arm warmers. Great for wearing with short-sleeves. Made by POUTfits,

This simply beautiful, yet seemingly complicated ring is "Modeled after a dragonfly's wings...cast from an original design in 100% recycled Argentium silver and hand-finished with a brushed texture." Hard to resist? Find it and other eco-friendly jewelry at JesseDangers' Etsy shop.

Earth-friendly, independent Mensware is a rarity, but to find such a treasure amongst the plethera of choices is truly exciting. XOElle's shop has beautifully made, stylish, and perfectly-packaged bowties.

When I came upon this find on Etsy, I almost couldn't believe how perfect the items seemed. Then, when the items arrived; I found out it was true, they are perfect.

Initially, I was impressed by the packaging (which is recycled btw); it was an appropriate prelude as to what was to come...little flower blossomed bobby pins fell gently atop carefully wrapped boxes.

Opening it up revealed intricate earrings and an incredible necklace made from "vintage, found, recycled or repurposed materials" by Betsy of Foundling, a small shop for people like you and me.

I love Foundlings' work, it's delicate and detailed, feminine and flirty...and best of all, it's extremely unique.

Superb customer service, presentation, and wonderful products make YourDailyBreeze happy to recommend Foundling to you and you and you.

Keep a look out for these and other rare finds in the up-coming photo shoot released June 18th, 2008.

Oh, I love squishy things! So when I received the soft, pillowy priority mail envelope in the mail, I guess you could say it was love at first sight.

But that's nothing compared to what came out of the envelope. This ribbon-wrapped tangible textile piece of heaven. It's best described as "organized chaos"; and I love it.

I unwrapped the thick ribbon and held the top hem as the new/old skirt dropped comforting-ly down. Weighty, soft, and pleasing to the touch, this skirt is unbelievable. It is made by KTJean, who uses vintage and reused fabrics in the making of these pleasurable pieces of rustic femininity.

Her service is fast, her product is comfortable and unique; YourDailyBreeze feels honored to write about such a creative designer. Please support KTJean and other independent designers that consider the earth so thoughtfully.

Keep a look out for this wonderful skirt (shown in full) and other earth-friendly items in the up-coming photo shoot premiering June 18th, 2008.
