http://jakecleo.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-olympics.html

Well, I nominate our blog, Thrift Store Confidential (http://thriftstoreconfidential.wordpress.com), because spreading the word about second-hand delights and the communities who benefit is my top priority. Great posts by everyone, though - checking you all out now!
Thanks a bunch and good luck to all,

I nominate Tiny Happy who inspires me each day to look more closely at nature and to appreciate every day vintage items.
http://tinyhappy.typepad.com/
I nominate the Flickr group Hand Knit Hand-Me-Downs http://www.flickr.com/groups/handknithandmedowns/ It was started recently by Julie of www.thiscosylife.etsy.com as a way to pass along hand-knitted or hand-crocheted items that are no longer of use to their maker/owner, but which still have plenty of wear in them. It's totally free, you just have to post a picture of the item you ask for being used once you get it. It's such a great idea for keeping handmade items out of storage or the landfill.
Nominating the awesome shop: http://uhreusable.etsy.com
for her amazing eco-minded creations!
Tweet tweet!
