Uniquely Green - Plantable Greeting Cards by FloweryGreetings

I love this idea of plantable greeting cards. It's like a card that you give twice. Once for the initial occasion and once again when they flower!

I especially love the house warming one, totally topical for warming up a new house.

Awesome Upcycled Record Purses by BoosRecords

I just love these purses by BoosRecords!

I'm really infatuated with anyone who can make something so cool out of something old or upcycled. It's unique, earth friendly, & artsy - all things I love.

I also like featuring someone who is a newcomer to Etsy. I know how great it feels to be noticed when you've just opened shop. A definite boost while waiting for your first sale. I think BoosRecords will do well!

Anyway, these handbags made by are made from records and their album covers. Please take a look at BoosRecords on Etsy, it's fun just to see the old album covers!

Here are a couple of my favs:
