It is a carefully juried selection of the best in conflict-free, recycled, repurposed, organic and even vegan (!) items for the home, office and  wardrobe. Talk about lucky! I entered to win the giveaway on Modish Blog, presented by Cosa Verde for Earth Day, and lucky me, look at all that I won: 

I am so happy to have won all these great items! Have you been to Modish Blog yet? There is a section called Modish Biz Tips on the site with all kinds of useful information for 
creative businesses. 

All the sustainable goodies I received:

  3. Eco-binder and a set of Eco-tabs from UrbanPosture
  4. Recycled Silver Circle Bunny Earrings from Figs & Ginger
