I had so much fun writing about online consignment clothing sites I decided to continue the trend and write about consignment home goods this week. Buying previously owned merchandise is a great way to recycle and repurpose. Plus, it’s easy on the pocketbook and easy on the environment. And while craigslist and eBay are great places to find staples from stores like IKEA, Ethan Allen, and West Elm, there are some great sites for upscale home goods at prices considerably less than retail.

A Very Portable Greenhouse

Urban Gardens posted about this very portable greenhouse on their site a few days ago and I thought it was so great I just had to post about it on my blog.

This amazing greenhouse was designed by Studio Besau-Marguerre in Hamburg in collaboration with Adrien Petrucci. It comes with a leather strap, which, aside from being fashionable, is also practical as you can move this small greenhouse inside or out as weather permits.

Transplanted North’s Got a New Bag. And Buying Your Own Will Help Plant A Tree.

Need a new bag for the spring? Gift for a friend, signifigant other, mom? Head over to Transplantednorth’s blog where she posts about a bag she bought at Sakroots. The name of the bag is Sakroots Artist Circle Flower Power Pattern. You can get more information about where to buy it from Sakroots directly.

The best thing about the bag is Sakroots gives a portion of the sales of each bag to The Nature Conservancy‘s Plant A Billion Trees program.
