ConversationGlass

Today I want to share another great Etsy shop with you! ConversationGlass is a all about 

“Glassware made from upcycled bottles - an idea inspired from a toast and a great conversation. We take bottles cast off and destined for our local landfills to create stunning, conversation-worthy glassware for home and business. One bottle, one conversation, one love, one Earth.”

You may have seen some things online that are similar to these, but I have never seen anything as great as these:

Don’t you love them? Matt and Grace are great aren’t they?

The shop was born of a need, a need for a living, a way to keep the earth healthy, a need to teach that business is not always bad. Living responsibly is a passion at ConversaionGlass.

 

Here is the story behind the beauty:

“Have you ever noticed how pretty some bottles are? Have you ever wondered where all those beautiful bottles go when you've drained them (happily) of their yummy insides?

This was the conversation that sparked our store. We were drinking a bottle of red and realized the very bottle on our table would end up in a landfill sooner or later. That thought made us a bit sad.

We started collecting and cutting bottles from local restaurants and bars. The concept is simple - take something reusable that's going to be cast off and create something beautiful through upcycling! The glasses we make are simple but elegant. Every glass buyer (rescuer) can know they've saved a bottle from a landfill. Because each glass is hand-cut and hand-sanded, they're each one of a kind.

One bottle, one conversation, one love, one Earth.”

When Matt and Grace aren’t working, they are enjoying time with their daughter and three dogs, Arwen, Nyxie and Fenway.

The Angelorian Tradition

“The Angelorian Tradition; home to a fabulous assortment of metal stamped vintage flatware, custom guitar picks, one of a kind wedding favors and accessories, tea and coffee items, baby gifts and accessories, vintage craft supplies, unique party supplies and other fun gift, home decor and jewelry items for you to browse and often customize to your needs.”

“Angelorian as a word is based in Latin and I have been told best translates to English as meaning "Rare Beauty." The name 'The Angelorian Tradition' therefore is most easily translated as 'The Tradition of Rare Beauty.'”

So, you probably figured out that I am telling you about an amazing shop called Angelorian Tradition! Crystal is the girl behind the shop and opened The Angelorian Tradition about four years ago. She makes and sells all kinds of awesomeness! Like these:

These are some of my all time favorite pieces:

Crystal is awesome, if you couldn't see that already! She is even offering a coupon to us. Use the code “ANT15” for 15% off your purchase at AngelorianTradition.Etsy.com

You can also find her on her great blog and on Pinterest!

“So please feel free to enjoy my shop and all the beautiful treasures that it holds, but most important, remember to enjoy the rare beauty that lays prominent in all those little moments of your life…”

Havertys

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Havertys Furniture for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
How do you make your house a home? I love putting little touches here and there, but furniture goes a long way toward making a place livable! Speaking of furniture have you ever been to a Havertys: Discover Something You
? We have one here in Indy in the Castelton area. Anyway! Havertys has a really cool program called Inspiration Sessions going on this fall. Once a month, through December they are having events where you can come in and learn how to create a new type of space in your home. And the events have cool names too! Like for September (the 15th) they are hosting "Now Showing." Can you guess what kind of even that is? It is about designing your entertainment space or your home theater. October 13th is Seasonal Scapes all about Holiday design. Then November 10th is Winter Colors which is about incorporating winter colors in to your interior designs. The last event is December 1st and is about putting the finishing touches on a room and finally completing it.
I love this idea! Don't you? You can change a room just by putting different accessories in it - you can totally change the feel of a place and make it into a comfortable happy space. Here are some of my favorite pieces from Havertys:


They also have great ideas about making your family room transformable so that you can have a home theater too!

If you are considering changing your living space, moving, or just want to change some things go to Havertys and see what they can do for you!
