Handmade mecca Etsy.com is putting together a video-streaming series of guest shopping picks next week and on Wednesday we’ll be in the hot seat, highlighting some of our favorite finds. We’ve already got some ideas (Flea regular Reclaimed Home, for example, has been “upcycling” some of her vintage items for sale on Etsy), but we could use your input. Have any favorites? Chances are we’ll be focusing on gifts that have some kind of salvaged or recycled element.
Some of my work has recycled elements including the Seville and Starbust pillows, both currently in etsy shop http://www.redbridge.etsy.com. Other Red Bridge Studio products that contain recycled materials are the sachets (with lavender purchased at the Flea), matchbooks notebooks, and some bags.

I would like to submit Etsy seller and Clinton Hill resident Kristen Couse of Cakehouse Design. (www.cakehousedesign.com) She gives new life to second-hand and vintage textiles as home accessories. Designed, cut, sewn and silkscreened by the artist in Brooklyn.
Thanks for supporting handmade and local small businesses.

My friend’s shop has some really funny pieces at:
pinkbabymouse.etsy.com
My favorite shop is, of course, my own.
lizjones.etsy.com
It’s small at the moment as my job job has been consuming, but it always has repurposed materials in it, and I do live in Brooklyn.
I also like atelierBB.etsy.com (Brooklyn-based)
ouno.etsy.com (recycled)
manimina.etsy.com (Brooklyn)
budanART.etsy.com (neither, but a genius)
dkim.etsy.com (Brooklyn)
Brownstoner, there’s a search you can do on Etsy that shows you sellers by region and by city. So you’ll be able to pull up all the Brooklyn sellers and pick some from there.
i am a fused glass artist. i sell a lot of jewelry made from recycled beer and wine bottles and i have recently produced some windchimes, rain chains and peace sign ornaments from reycled bottles as well. i will be adding these to my etsy site over the weekend or on monday.
my shop is http://www.glassismyname.etsy.com
thanks,

Doesn’t have to be either, just need 15 or 20 picks. So much the better if they are Brooklyn-made and/or salvaged or recycled.
I’m a tad confused, do you need Brooklyn sellers who are at both the Flea and on Etsy? Or just any Etsy sellers in Brooklyn?
I don’t know if she sells at the Flea, but I love the store, Ellita on Etsy. She’s in Park Slope and her name is Ella. She’s a very sweet person and she makes gorgeous handknit capelets with a high neck that look Victorian. Very appropriate for brownstone and other Victorian era homeowners! Wear it around the house when it gets drafty. She uses all wool in unique colors. Very soft. I bought one and am going back for another.

I also know Phyllis at Reclaimed Home, who Brownstoner already mentioned. She’s very cool. I bought a great vintage child’s chair from her she reconditioned.
hey, this is a great shop: brooklynbuttons.etsy.com
guess i should point out that it’s mine.
and here’s my pal’s: honeybeeproductions.etsy.com
