Awesome 2ReVert Keychain Giveaway CLOSED

AND THE WINNER IS - The Lost Earring and she happens to have an amazing Etsy shop- so check it out. Chosen my random number gerenator 1-125 = # 23!

2ReVert is the amazing husband and wife team of Jann and Jeff from Nova Scotia who ask, "Do you know where your jewelry has been?".

They make the most amazing jewelry and houseware items from recycled skateboards!

2ReVert jewelry pieces are all totally unique! So check out their amazing shop- I have a beautiful pair of their earrings and they are lightweight and awesome!

When they get a new skateboard to recycle, they are thrilled. Jann is always wondering who rode the skateboard and where the boards went... did they get carried around school, did they go on trips ... what about the writing on them. Jeff always looks for the colored layers ... where are they in the board, what colors are there, what will he create ...

WHAT YOU GET:
One lucky winner will receive one green and black recycled skateboard keychain handmade by 2ReVert in Nova Scotia!

3 Things for Earth Day

I have always been a bit of an Earth Day skeptic. Being environmentally focused for 24 hours and then rushing back into our modern, fast-paced, disposal lives seems as fake as those 'green products' that keep popping up and are anything but.

Earth Day does, though, give us an actual date on the calendar to renew our commitment to saving this planet's amazing beauty and diversity for our children and for their children and it does help us to get focused.

Each year we try to commit to 3 new practices (last year we switched to compact fluorescent bulbs, gave up paper towels, paper and plastic bags -and take out containers- when shopping and started composting kitchen scraps more consistently).

This year our 3 new commitments are : 1. Reduce our garbage to 1 bag a week (with a family and two businesses we are continually challenged with this) 2. Send one letter each month to a politician -local, state or federal- concerning an environmental issue (this will also challenge us to be aware of these issues) and 3. grow more of our own fruits and vegetables and can them for colder seasons (I have never done anything even remotely like canning - no idea why this is even called canning when we use glass - we do use glass, right?), so this will be my biggest challenge yet. Hopefully I can do this without putting anyone in the hospital, or at least anyone I like in the hospital.

To celebrate Earth Day I am offering free shipping on any jewelry order in both my shops- Uncorked and Polarity through Friday midnight. Just write Earth Day in the comments to seller section of your order and I will refund your shipping!
