GreenBeadz

Shop Name:  Green Beadz (Design)

Owner:  Helen

Location:  Modesto, California

Shop Link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/greenbeadz

Just what is GreenBeadz Design all about?  Helen says it best in her shop announcement.  She explains,  "The green in GreenBeadz is that nearly everything we make has an element of re-claimed, re-used or re-purposed material. Some call this 'up-cycling'. We will state this as a percentage. The higher the % the greater the green; and for us, the more satisfaction. You get a beautiful, one of a kind item, and the knowledge that it has made much less of an impact on the earth's environment."

Lake Erie Beach Glass

When I asked Jodie how she got involved in her shop, this is what she had to say:

"I have always been drawn to the lake and often spend my time beachcombing the shores of Lake Erie. While beach combing my family and I began picking up trash that would accumulate and dispose of it. We then started picking up other unique items we would find and decided to recycle these items and give them new purpose through jewelry design and art. It has become a family business where everyone is involved. We live in Erie, Pennsylvania and comb the beaches from Cleveland to Buffalo. "

Jodie's shop is filled with lovely creations incorporating these wonderful finds. She is a proud member of the North American Sea Glass Association, of CAAT, and many Etsy teams! You can visit LakeErieBeachGlass on ETSY, or by clicking the following places
