One of My Prize Possetions



I have been collecting vintage items for centuries it seems. I never get tired of finding unique one of a kind pieces that no one else will have. One of my favorites is my black Chromcraft chair that I bought for $5.00 over 15 years ago. Somehow through a million moves, parties, several cats and two kids it is still in near mint condition. People always comment on it when visiting my house and on more than one occasion I have been offered high dollar to take it off my hands.

I have always called it the Star Trek chair because of the way it looked and recently I found the pic to prove that it lives up to it's name.

Dallas Neon Signs







Just a few "new" signs I got this week in super mega hot Dallas, Texas. I love the Sunshine Cleaners sign because it is from a location in Dallas that has been around since the 60's. They recently closed down their old location and built a brand new store basically across the street and took their sign with them. Awesome.

Get to Know Your Eco Artists: The Valentine's Edition


We are two fellow Etsy community members that have a passion for creating environmentally friendly jewelry and wanted to get to know each other a tad better.

If you chose to be a VD candy, what kind would you be?


JACKY: Organic chocolate covered caramels! Chocolatey goodness on the outside with a sweet surprise of caramel on the inside.

ALICIA: I would be a fair trade organic 70% cocoa bar with toasted almonds and I would be delish!

What's your favorite Valentine's Day memory from childhood?

JACKY: Third grade was my favorite year because of my awesome teacher Mrs. Spivey. For our Valentine’s Day party she took us outside to read a story under a big tree then we decorated cookies in class. The best part was going from bag to bag delivering your valentines. I’m pretty sure mine were Wonder Woman that year.

ALICIA: When I was in grade school, I loved making and decorating the construction paper "envelopes" that we taped on the side of our desks to be used as our "mailbox" for valentines. They were so fun to dig through at the end of the day to see and read all the valentines.

What's your favorite quote about love?

JACKY: "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." -Dr. Seuss

ALICIA: "Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love." - Leo Tolstoy



Jacky of HiFi Jewelry has been creating wearable art from recycled materials with a fun, funky, rock-n-roll edge since 2007.

Alicia of La Alicia is a Recycled Materials Artist continuosly giving a nod to Mother Earth.
