Must Have + Giveaway: Recycled Cotton Desk Set

and the winner is…comment #3 chosen by random.org

I decided after yesterday’s post on recycled leather handbags, I’d make this week kind of an informal “recycled eco-fashion” week! I love the idea of buying vintage as eco-friendly, but am not always “into” the vintage look, so recycled or re-made clothing, handbags and accessories are a great alternative. But it doesn’t have to stop with your body – if you spend as much time every day at your desk as I do, your desk could probably use some accessorizing (and organizing) too.

In my search for fabulous desk/home accessories (bet you didn’t know I love to accessorize my home as much as myself), I came across this recycled cotton desk set at one of my new favorite home decorating sites, Clayton Gray Home:

enter to win a recycled cotton desk set

The desk set is:

made from recycled cotton salvaged from the apparel industry in India. Each item is made from “khadda,” which is the unbleached hand spun rags left over from the garment industry production. No harsh chemicals or dyes are used in processing the material. The 100% cotton products are water resistant and hand-made by rural craftsmen in India

I love that this is “green” in addition to being green! The bright color would definitely bring some excitement to my desk, and I love all the pieces that come with it, especially the box. Do you love it too? Want to win it? Here’s how:

Leave a comment telling me why you could use this lovely green recycled desk set & also, visit Clayton Gray home and link me to something else you’d love to have to spruce up your home a bit! (I’d choose this modern, bright, Trina Turk rug)

Good Luck! Contest will close Sunday, August 23.

I can definitely use this desk set for the new office I’m setting up when we move. It would be a nice house warming gift for myself. :)

I would also love the Studly Dresser – Black http://www.claytongrayhome.com/item.php?item_id=485&category_id=76 since we dont have a dresser at the moment.

I could use this awesome set to make my desk not look like a tornado went thru it! I need organizational help big time and it being eco-friendly is awesome!!! I’d also love to have the Marilyn Pendant in silver found here: http://www.claytongrayhome.com/item.php?item_id=447&category_id=56 . I have a whole guest room dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, so how fitting would this lamp be???

Love that these are made from salvaged fabrics giving these a smaller environmental footprint and will give a smaller footprint to my desk so I’ll actually have room for my coffee and my mouse……..

Try as I might to keep it organized, my desk is always a mess of paper, folders, business cards and electronics. This would really help me get my stuff together and turn my workspace into something nice to look at…finally.

And honestly, it would be easier for me to tell you what I DON’T love from Clayton Gray Home. But I’m REALLY drooling over these Biscayne Chairs: http://www.claytongrayhome.com/item.php?item_id=317&category_id=53

Clayton Gray Home is officially bookmarked!

I desperately need this desk set to organize what looks like just a bunch of clutter…even though I need all of it on my desk.
I would also love the Russell and Hazel Bird Magnet — it’s so adorable! http://www.claytongrayhome.com/item.php?item_id=393&category_id=70
Thanks!
