Okay, I know that I did a post about the Frames Wallpaper earlier this week but when I saw this wallpaper I HAD to post about it too!! These wall coverings are created by artist, Payton Cosell Turner and she uses stickers to make them. YES, stickers! Every bit of design that you see on the wallpaper is created by thousands of stickers. She uses any sticker that strikes her fancy whether it's tiger stickers or pizza slice stickers or flower stickers... she uses them all! The best thing about this idea of hers is that it's something any of us can do too!

Yep, thousands of stickers! Looks amazing, right?!
Closer view of the wallpaper. I see flowers, bears, pizzas, blue ribbons and so much more.

I'd like to introduce you to Zipper8Lighting. I found these awesome light pieces while on Etsy. Her light fixtures look incredible and I love that she uses materials like plastic bags, road maps, old paperback books an even drink umbrellas to create them!
This is the Cocktail Umbrella Pendant. So colorful and so cute!
The Plastic Bag Pendant Lamp. I can't even tell that it's made from plastic bags!
The Round Flat Mixed Book Page Pendant. I like that they look great off during the day and on at night.

Pillows, Part 2! Eco-Friendly and Fair Trade Options
1:11 AM
Last week I did a post on pillows and got a suggestion, from Decorative Pillows, to showcase some eco-friendly and fair trade pillow options. They asked and shall receive.
For those of you not familiar with the term "fair trade" here is what it means- "Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability." (Thank you for that explanation Wikipedia) And I'm pretty sure most of us out there know what eco-friendly means so I will just get on with showing the pillows! Enjoy! : )
