Great Press for Modern Pixie

Lori — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 13:04:02 +0000

Congratulations to Judy Crighton of Modern Pixie for being featured in the April issue of Cleveland Magazine. Amber Matheson did a nice profile on Judy and her jewelry line in the Style section of the magazine.

Not only that, Judy’s Tremont home was the inspiration for this past weekend’s Get the Look: Home Decor Edition of the Etsy Finds feature, which also featured a pillow from Cleveland Handmade member Gretchen of Robin’s Egg Blue.

Check out the articles and join us in congratulating Judy on her success.

Go Green!

Congratulations to Jane Pierce (aka zJayne)! Upcycled and Ecofriendly Dryer Pillow Sheet Sachets from Recycled Products by zJayne will be featured in the May issue of two major magazines: Every Day with Rachael Ray and Body + Soul. Look for them to hit newsstands in April.

Dryer Pillow Sheets are designed to be used in place of chemically treated dryer sheets and are becoming a big hit for their reusable long-lasting performance — and they are 100% upcycled from t-shirt sleeves! They can be found now at Green Depot (like Home Depot only all environmentally friendly products) in their brick and mortar store in New York and on their website. They are available locally at Green Smart Gifts, located at 14534 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, Ohio.

You can also order directly from zJayne and get free shipping on all Dryer Pillow Sheet Sachets when you use free ship code cc2010zJ (post it under “message to seller” at checkout; code needed for shipping refund).

Way to go zJayne!
