So, everyone knows about my epiphany and my party was created with that in mind. All the decorations were reused, even a pinyata that (filled with things that I might run out of over the next 5 months) was reused! Anyway, since the theme of my party was reuse, recycle and reduce many of my friends brought gifts that were made out of reused or recycled materials. Some of the items are new but very eco friendly & hand made! I am so inspired by these tokens that I have to share them with the world - or at least the people who read this blog!
So, listed below are the pics and artist! ENJOY!! I know I am!!
The Candles were home made and the glass was containers were from a second hand store. The top picture is of home made lotion (made of natural stuff, haven't gotten the recipe yet) inside of a container from a second hand store! Love These!!!
The Adored artist is Heather Toliver!
This beautiful plate is made of recycled glass, I don't know who the artist is but the person with amazing taste(who bought it) is Jennifer Jabson! Yes, my gorgeous Sister!!! This piece is currently being displayed on my kitchen table!
The incredible vase was hand made by an amazing man & friend, Eric Burdick! I actually had no idea he was such a talented artist - WOW!!
This super hip bag was made by Lynn Forbes (Bean). This bag fits me to a tee! I love it and will always use it! Again....another amazing artist!
So, mother nature made these beauties! But, they are recycled. The roses came from my friend Paul (I am sorry Paul, I dont have your email or your last name!). We actually spent Thanksgiving with Paul and these were our T-Giving flowers. He recycled them and made them a Birthday gift!! What girl doesn't love flowers on her birthday. Pure Genius!
Ok, I have to admit...these are fucking RAD! Artist: The amazing Skye Richardson! Ya, records!!!!! Super fly bowl and plate made from records! So, now you know what to do with those old Rod Stewart records!
Last but not least, Nicole & Sudd Helzer. This bag and gloves were new but, they are made by a company called "World of Good". All of their products are made fair trade with a unique blend of traditional handcrafts and modern designs. They help support artisans build community and protect the environment.
I have to say again.....THANK YOU EVERYONE! My Party ROCKED! I love you all and you all inspire me to no end!!!! This was the greatest birthday ever!!!!!!!
