August 12, 2013

I get a thrill out of scoring fabulous vintage treasures (who doesn’t?), but even better than that is when those treasures also happen to be made out of organic and repurposed, recyclable materials!  Over the weekend, I stumbled upon Elsie Green House and Home, a small, family-run company based in Northern California, run by a former…
