It’s encouraging seeing more local shops focus on creating fresh items out of both waste and reusable materials.  I stumbled across another recently on Smith Street called etown .  It has accessories, notes, cards, jewelry, and clothing – all made locally from reclaimed materials.  They also feature products from Meesah, SOOZOU and 1979.  Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood – Otto Cake is just one door over!

I also found two furniture stores – Forward Thinking Furniture and Da Vinci Floors working with reclaimed materials and producing some stunning results.  I haven’t been to either location yet, but hope to sneak a tour of both soon.

Have you been to any of these stores?  Have some suggestions for me?  I’d love to hear them.  Contact me at shines@honbue.com or 441-4452.
