Who: TryCycle Glass – Wrightsville, Georgia

What: Nico Bottles

Where: TryCycle Glass – $14/pair

Why We Love It: If only we discovered TryCycle when we were on the hunt for a simple, functional, pair of rectangular olive oil and vinegar bottles which you’d think would be easy to find, but no…. TryCycle makes just the right pair for your olive oil and vinegar (or simple syrup or soy sauce or liquid soap… ) and it’s made of 100% recycled glass, 100%!

Inspired by a trip to Europe and the signature ‘green’ glass found there, TryCycle created a line of glass bottles, jars, carafes, tumblers and more, all with classic, simple silhouettes, all high quality, all affordable, and all handblown in Spain in one of the few factories in the world that can produce high quality recycled glassware. The glass itself is recovered from European recycling bins, and that signature, subtle green hue is a result of the recycling process.

What: Convertible Bed

Where: Mon Petit Bijou – $1650 (Special Order), available in white, espresso and natural

Why: This is no ordinary crib – it’s kind of like the Rolls Royce of cribs, no the Tesla of cribs… and equally as hard to track down.

The smooth moulded European beech bent to create the soft sloping curves and the rounded ends -  perfect for curling up in for a long hard day of play… Click to continue »
