Easter is coming and you can have the most eco-friendly …not to mention the most interesting peeps a person could hope for! Made from recycled vintage radio vacuum tubes. The chicks are flocked so that they are fuzzy and the roosters come with hand shaped comb cocks and beaks. Get them quick because I don’t think my Easter will be complete with out a dozen of these!

Time is Money – Recycled Yen Clock

Monday, August 24th, 2009

recycled clock
The concept of this clock is pretty cool …made out of recycled Japanese yen (the 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen bills come in different colors, so it is quite colorful) However, one reviewer at Uncommon Goods
icon mentioned that it didn’t look all that special. Nice concept, though!
$40.00 at Uncommon Goodsicon (which has a lot of interesting unusual gifts, ...many of which are eco-friendly)
