  17. I absolutely love succulents. Have a pot with different kinds and some trailing that I have had for years. They can withstand heat and little watering, shade or sun, with hardly any care at all. Adaptable to virtually any kind of container (if you make sure they are not left standing in water). I have them in containers on my deck, under my cherry tree, in my rock wall, and on my kitchen window sill. Some can weather winter cold and extreme conditions we can have here in Spokane, Washington. They make babies and multiply and are easy to propagate. They come in many colors, such as purple tinged, red, gold, bright green (chartreuse).
    Just when you think they may be dead they surprise you. What more can I say? I am in love! xoxoxo

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.

This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.

What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care

  • A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall

If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
