Beer Bottle Glasses: Recycled, reusable art

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Aren’t these beer bottle glasses awesome?  Greensboro, NC-based Bodhicitta (on Etsy) melts and fires glass bottles and recreates them into entirely smooth, reusable glasses for juice, milk, water, wine, soda… or beer, if you’re a thinking-inside-the-box type.

I’m not a beer person, but I love the colors and designs.  And little makes me happier than recycling via sustainable re-use.

Easy Christmas Decoration: Anise stars

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

This weekend kicks off holiday decorating.

I enjoy making my home look festive but I’m opposed to buying a lot of things that I’ll either have to store somewhere until next year or, let’s be honest, end up throwing away.

The above windowsill is festively adorned with:

A glass salad dressing bottle, emptied, de-labeled and washed
Whole anise stars (from the grocery spice section)
A red/white gingham ribbon

Assembled, you have a pretty Christmas decoration. Come January, each of its parts is easily re-used for another purpose.
