{Recycled Glass Jewelry} Pink Depression Glass Pendant

I found this website and instantly fell in love with their journey! Bottled Up Designs makes beautiful custom-jewelry out of depression (and thrown-away) glass! Their recycled glass jewelry is handmade in Pennsylvania from antique glass and bottles reclaimed from the natural wooded habitats and rural farmlands. Another really cool part of this company is with every piece of recycled jewelry, you get the history of the beautiful broken treasures. Each piece comes with "The Story of the Glass" detailing what the glass was originally and the approximate age. Each piece is a unique way to "Preserve History, While Helping the Future".

From delicate and lovely antique pink depression glass. The broken pieces of various dishware have been reclaimed and hand cut to 5/8" in width, x 1 1/2" in length, wrapped in sterling and hangs on your choice sterling chain.

The company moto is "Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the ability to endure."

{Eco Purse} Small Messenger Seatbelt Bags

Small Messenger Bags. Maggie bags give new life to unwanted seatbelts by creating a sophisticated line of messenger bags and purses! The perfect size for your recycled wallet, organic lipstick, and a half eaten bag of chips. The eclectic brown and pink are like candy…with a beautiful lining in silky lavender, lots of pockets, and light weight. These recycled seatbelt bags will stop traffic…pun intended.

The world wide demand for cars and trucks has left behind an abundance of surplus man-made materials. Each year tens of thousands of yards of seat belt webbing are rejected for the slightest color variation, making the strap useless to the car makers. Designed to be used as a life saving seatbelt in the car, this high quality material is made to last (Remember the crash dummies?!). Great purse to brighten up your winter.

Dimensions: H 9.5” x W 11.5” x W 4.5”
