Green Find: Hangeliers

I stumbled upon these lamps by Organelledesign the other day. They're made of bicycle rims and hangers. It's crazy how you can put a bunch of non-pretty things together and make something so beautiful (and green).

I can't wait to get a house and get some vinyl decals. They can be placed on any flat surface and can be easily removed. The ones featured here are right around $30.

The ones above are from walldecors. The first one below is from tweetheartwallart and the bottom one is from goodsradar.

Etsy Find: Irish Landscape with Wee Wool Sheep


I came across this terrarium on Etsy, made by weegreenspot. The "hills" are made of live mosses. Just looking at that wee sheep makes me smile. Maybe I'll get two - one for work and one for home.
