Feelgoodz has some new stock, so get ‘em while you can. These babies sell out fast. We love how comfy they feel. It’s 94 degrees outside, time to let those little piggies free!
Check ‘em out in our Open Sky shop. (They run a little small, so size accordingly.)
Feel extra good knowing that for the entire month of July, for every pair of Feelgoodz we sell, we’ll be donating $5 to Surfrider.org. With the disaster in the Gulf, we figured it’s the least we could do…

Take out these glasses when Glenn Beck comes by for a beer, or your roommate’s Tea Party buds pop by and let the fun begin. Good for an upcycled laugh. Of course with all these Russian spy busts you may be putting yourself at risk…
These eco-friendly glasses are made from recycled Leninade soda bottles. Each glass is individually flame cut and polished to give you a smooth finished rim.
$25 for 4 glasses @ the YAVA Glass Etsy shop
Japan’s Miso Soup Design has been doing some very nice work with recycled materials for quite some time now. The ‘Formula’ chair, made from recycled material that they call Eco-Resin, requires only 16 sq. ft. of resin and has a one-piece, uni-body construction that requires no hardware or glues.
The super-efficient manufacturing process produces minimal waste – doesn’t appear that comfortable but it does look great.

I admit it, I like spiders…this steampunk spider sculpture (above) was created from the upcycled remnants of a clock and an assortment of brass and copper wire and various metal parts.
The piece, entitled ‘RELIC’, was displayed at the Museum of the History of Science Oxford UK’s exhibit, ‘Steampunk – Contraptions + Devices Extraordinaire’.
