Industrial Pendant Light

I have some really exciting news to share, for the rest of 2010, I will be making a video a month with Craft! Be sure to subscribe to their YouTube page and follow Nest to stay up-dated. For this first installment, I was asked to tackle dorm room decor, so I made this industrial pendant lamp and gave some dorm decor tips in this blog post.


These lamps from Anthropologie and Brooklyn Bowl were my inspiration. Please watch the YouTube version (for views) and leave a comment on what you think of it over there. Thanks so much for your continued support!

Eco Jewelry Giveaway

The winner of this give-away is ajh1985! Congratulations! We will ship out your earrings when we get your address via e-mail.

This week starts off with great news for YOU. GCB Designs, the lovely eco jewelry line designed by the very sweet Gayle Baker, is offering a pair of her double-knot earrings to one very lucky reader of Nest. To enter, make sure you are "following" Nest, and leave a comment on this post between now and next Monday, September 13th. I will announce the winner the morning of September 14th. It's that easy! In addition, all nest readers receive free shipping during the week of the contest.



GCB Design's Mission Statement:

To create wearable art while doing as little damage to the Earth as possible and giving back to the global community so that others might succeed.

By using only antique diamonds and reclaimed gold & silver, we make recycling into an art with each piece hand-crafted in the USA by artists in Southern California. We have achieved the balance of combining designs born of dreams, living organic forms, and vintage design with the desire to produce environmentally responsible jewelry and to contribute to the conservation of the planet.


It's artists like Gayle, who put this much thought and love into their work, that made me start this blog in the first place. Thank you to those of you who take the time to create art and fashion that align with a green, kind ethos.


Be sure to check out the website for more beautiful pieces like this Palm bracelet.

*This contest is for US residents only. My apologies to my over-seas friends, we will make sure the next one includes you.
