Buying gifts made from materials saved from filling up landfills, or fashioned from natural, renewable resources, you can rest easy knowing you are contributing to the well being of our environment.
You can support skilled artisans by keeping used materials from filling landfills as you give them new life and purpose.
You can help make a better world by encouraging the continued use of renewable materials as beautiful handcrafted designs brighten your home or the homes of your friends and family.

Tin Can Angels
Made in Guatemala by a rural cooperative, these bright, shiny ornaments are sure to add a lively fizz to your holiday decorations - they're made from recycled beverage cans.
Bottle tops become angel faces, while the sides of the cans are refashioned into celestial robes and wings.
A triumph of ingenuity and artistic vision over wasteful litter, these angels raise living standards for low-income families: a gift very much in the spirit of the season!

Quartz Ornaments
The facets of these stunning crystals catch and hold light, shimmering like icicles on your holiday tree as they dangle from their silk ribbons.
Formed deep in the earth over thousands of years, crystallized quartz has long been a symbol of spiritual clarity.The ancient Greeks ascribed its ice-like properties to water so solidly frozen in deep caves that it never thaws.

Leaf Crystal Ornament
This leaf ornament sparkles with Swarovski crystals and naturally adds a warm glow of golden light to your holiday decor.
Hand-dipped in liquid metal, every vein of the broad leaf fans out in a web of delicate shimmering patterns as it dangles from a silk ribbon in a window or from your tree's branches.
Leaf Crystal Ornament

Amethyst Ornaments
Breathtaking crystals, with their clarity and radiant hues,remind us like nothing else of the power and glory of natural design.
Hung as seasonal ornaments from your tree, they cast their own magical spell, reflecting changing colors of sparkling light from every new angle.

Oil Drum Angels
When scores of empty oil drums washed up on Haiti after World War II, enterprising artisans set to work fashioning metal sculptures, both ornate and simply elegant like this beguiling angel.
Her stipple textured robe and torso, are rolled into a cone with a rear seam, then hammered from one piece of recycled drum.
Large fluttery gold wings and her demure demeanor. Where she alights,good things happen.
Oil Drum Angels are created by a production team that operates exclusively under Fair Trade practices.
