Woodsy Decor for the Nature Lover Tree Hugger

MarkedCo Woods Decal
Found on MarkedCo.com  this woodsy decal adds depth to the wall for $28.00,


If you love the woods, nature walks or just love to hike, we've found the best natural decor ideas for you. All from crafters who sell on Etsy (some also in their own stores) at affordable prices.  Above we have a great "Pleasure in the woods" decal from Karen Simpson, who sells on Etsy but also direct at MarkedCo.com.  She handmakes her decals and feel that instead of spending tons of money on paint.

Pine Tree Print


Vintage Pine Tree Print from Etsy , TheBlackVinyl $15

The print above is reprinted on eco friendly paper taken from an 1800's print. This would look great hanging in your home to give a woodsy feel.

The log pillows above are what happens when Sabine Herrman takes nature photography and turns them into functional items.  Hunting down cool things with her camera in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, you never know what may turn into something decorative and that you can rest your head on!

To The Steel Fork on Etsy : I Think You're Tractor's Sexxxxyyyyyyyyy

Story courtesy of:

Side end table, here,  $470.

It's true, TheSteelFork Etsy shop has it going on! A shop from Bloomsberg, Pennsylvania, with many reclaimed items serving functional purposes. This handmade Farm Table Reclaimed Tractor Hood table is a real gem....I love old machinery.  Doesn't this serve as a great creative reuse functional way to save the best parts of something otherwise headed to the landfill or scrap pile?  I would love to have this in my home! 

Their shop banner proudly says "There's a Farm in Every Home!"  This store is definately worth a look-see.  The rare and unique is hidden here. This table was made from an Allis Chlamers Tractor--if you aren't a tractor buff, I can only tell you how rare they are, all the way from France! What a great way to preserve parts of the item forever!

Large Rare French Tractor Bar Table, $1495, check it out.

Did I mention, you don't have to like tractors to visit this store?  There are other things creatively repurposed, such as this Cleaver Butcher Recycled Kitchen Hook.  At $75, it is a great gift idea for the person who has everything.


There's also signs made of reclaimed machinery, given new life serving as great home decor, like this!

For only $26, this sign is just the right flavor for your home!

Not only is this a great store, but their way of reclaiming items is just marvelous.  I'm sharing this with the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team first chance I get.

The Early Girl



Shop Name: The Early Girl

Name: Shannon

Location: Harpswell, Maine

Shop Link: http://www.theearlygirl.etsy.com/
Willa Pearl Sleeping Baby Pillow


Happy Birthday Tippy Cake

Shannon's shop shows her love for sewing. Her passion comes from growing up with her mom in Georgia. Shannon said, "She aways had a sewing project on the dining room table, crochet needles in a basket beside the couch, and a cross-stitch project in her pocketbook. My daughter, Haley, reminds me of my mom in her innate creative spirit and vision. She once knit a bathing suit for Kira-the-shih-tzu and used a furry fleece to design a mock-braid when she grew weary of her too-short bob hairstyle."

Shannon finds sewing therapeutic and often will use recycled or upcycled fabrics in her work.
