I just had to share these beauties with you from the one and only Poketo! I first spotted their newly launched upcycled leather goods (in celebration of Earth Day!) on Grizzly Bear Modern the other day. I think they're perfection! If you haven't heard of Poketo, check them out. "Poketo takes art off of gallery walls and makes them a part of your everyday life." I love that.

In honor of Earth Day, Poketo is kindly giving away an Upcycled Street Banner Bag to one of you! Recycling and reusing to the max, YES! Just leave a comment with why you love Poketo and you'll be entered to win. Giveaway ends Tuesday, April 26th.

Hope you have a good Earth Day/Good Friday and Easter weekend! What are you plans? I'll be hiking up a mountain in a few hours for a Good Friday sunset service, attending a Passover Seder tomorrow, and going to an epic Easter brunch that my good friends put on every year! It's all about community this weekend and for that I am thankful!

I am thankful for you too! See you next week! -J.

    I love that they're making an effort towards changing the perceptions about recycling. I'm always astonished at how many people there are who feel as though anything reused or recycled is gross and dirty. Recycled is beautiful.

    Poketo is an amazing brand -- they truly bring upcycling to another level! As a designer myself they have definitely inspired me to seek out new ways to upcycle things around my home and beyond! the clutches and pouches are gorgeous but the street banner bags are amazing! bright, colorful, and so useful.
