It’s Friday, so why not feature a few upcycled finds!!
Check it out Wikipedia has the definition of upcycled…
“Upcycling is a component of sustainability in which waste materials are used to provide new products. It is generally a reinvestment in the environment. ”
Let’s begin this week’s feature’s!
::8-Bit Memory::
You remember the first Nintendo don’t you? You know, Mario Bros., Excitebike, Zelda etc. Well, guess what…you can bring these games back to life by storing memory on them as an external hard drive would. Get up to 750GB!! Super rad, if you ask me! ($119.00 & up)
::Twenty Somethings ::
How about some kitschy bottle cap magnets that are “handmade upcycled magnets with messages that will empower you to create change.”
For $6 bucks get a set of 4!
“Eat local” “sustainable food” “organically grown” and “support local farmers” are my favorites.
These funky bottle caps now serve a purpose & would definitely land a spot on my fridge!
::SpoonerZ::
I’m in love! Silver spoons are used to create the beautifully handmade pieces.
My mom made me an awesome silver spoon bracelet for my 21st birthday – one of my favorite gifts ever!
I think I might’ve found the matching ring.
Unique and eco chic!
That’s all for this week!
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
What are your plans?? Do you shop on Etsy??

I just discovered Etsy about 3 weeks ago and love it!! I also love Modcloth.org for their vintage clothing. So much fun. And, I have one local thrift store that is fabulous for vintage finds and getting things to craft into upcycled goods. Great article, thanks!!
