When old farm equipment gets put out to pasture, The Steel Fork reincarnates it into
these charming metal animal heads.
Use them indoors or outdoors. Each one is made to order.
And a portion of each sale is donated to sustainable agriculture organizations.
Featured items from $465-1380.
Available at The Steel Fork.
Red Pine Jewelry Design recycles chipped, cracked and unused family heirlooms into unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry with personal meaning to you. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, pins or even keychains and wine bottle stoppers can be crafted from old pieces of china that are hidden away and never used.
It’s as simple as 1-2-3.
1. Email Red Pine Jewelry Design a description of your project.
2. Send in your plate or other glass items to be recycled.
3. Wait patiently for 2-3 weeks while your items are crafted.
What a fabulous gift idea for Mother’s Day or a daughter’s birthday or bridesmaids or…well, I’m sure you can think of your own special someone who would appreciate such a thoughtful gift.
And don’t despair if you’re not a patient gal, don’t want to break up Granny’s complete china set or don’t have any family heirlooms to wreck. You can always select one of the beautiful pre-made items in the boutique.

Last week, the city of Santa Monica boldly (and unanimously!) prohibited the distribution of single-use bags within its retail establishments. So now it’s more important than ever for shoppers to remember to BRING THEIR BAG!
And if you think that might be an inconvenience, consider the following:
** The average single use bag is used only 12 minutes before it begins its journey to a landfill or worse, becomes litter.
**19 billion single-use bags are used annually in California. (Billion, not million!)
**Less than 5% of plastic bags are recycled.
And while I’m sure we’ll soon see a plethora of reusable bag choices neatly hung near checkout counters, a more eco-friendly choice is available with today’s VPOD.
This handcrafted ethnic tote bag is made from a vintage Hmong baby carrier and will carry all your shopping goodies in style.
It’s a stylish alternative to a plastic bag for a vintage fashionista.
