\"Diy9\"<\/a>Steve and I strolled the DIY Street Fair<\/a> in Ferndale this Sunday and found a few fantastic artists\/entreprenuers… like Gina Adams-Levy of Peace Love & Pots.<\/p>\n

\"Diy10_2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

This spring\/summer she launched a successful flower pot\/tray recycle program at the Northville Farmers Mkt, collecting over 500 lbs. of plastic, HALF of which was returned to appreciative farmers and the rest recycled!<\/p>\n

\"Diy8\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

She also creates these 100% recycled garden flowers by cutting & painting various plastic containers.  Who knew your sour cream container, cool whip lid, soda bottle top and black planter pot could be so stylish?<\/p>\n

\"Diy7\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Meet another clever green guy, David Shock of ornj bags<\/a>.  When we see construction fencing, he sees a material to create hip recycled bags that make a statement.\"Diy1\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"Diy6\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Aren’t these little drawings by Stick Nymph<\/a> so sweet?\"Diy5\" <\/p>\n

\"Diy11\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I also spotted one of our catching fireflies<\/a> customers carrying this bag<\/a> in our store on Satuday and just loved it.  Then I saw it in Naka<\/a>, an indie boutique in Ferndale so I had to look it up and found lots more lovely goodies from this Singapore artist<\/a>.<\/p>\n
