OhFaro
Love the fire pit! Got my vote (but I've admired the seller for a while...)
nectorgirl
OOOH, I have so many new fabulous faves! Thanks for including my tea wallet in the poll! It is great to see so many individuals going in the same positive direction... let's keep up a momentum and get better and better as we go along together!

Great items here! Congrats to all the nominees.
I named this bracelet for my mom, so naturally, I think it would make a great mother's day gift!

If you've got a mom who.....
likes making a statement, likes pretty and contemporary things then http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?... by hypho or
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?... by kathiroussel
or if your mom loves spending time in her urban garden and needs that finishing touch then...
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?... from my shop-believe it or not this item also works if your mom drives too fast-check it out.
There's so much on Etsy, I think something for every mom-but if your wallet just can't swing it, then make her something! you're a crafter and she loves you so she'll love anything you make from the heart.

I really love the beer bottles turned into glasses! There are a number of wonderful items, but those were my favorites.
budpnq
I submitted one of my own for consideration earlier, but I'd like to submit a couple from other sellers if that's ok. All in a flower theme (and all things my own mother would enjoy)...

Fab! I love that the eco-friendly selection is so vast! Can't wait to go shopping. :)
I've got an Earth Week sale for my vintage and fiber art pieces - huge discounts, free shipping on orders over $150 and a gift with the promo code: Love the Earth.

My fulltime background is as an environmental specialist/engineer.. I love this! Although, some are definitely more qualified than others to be included in this category.
I voted the snack wrapper baby booties. Both such short lived items being combined for a longer life cycle, yippee!
racheltreasures
This is great...go Save the Earth!
See my washable and reusable cleaning pads...talk about saving the Earth with these!

Wonderful! I wish there was more opportunities to promote eco-friendly items on Etsy!
We make all natural candles made from locally produced Beeswax and American produced Soy Wax! All our molds are handmade too! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...

I love eco-friendly items! I also have eco links on my blog at www.akanedesigns.blogspot.com
wheresbeckybean
What a really gorgeous selection of eco-goods. I have so many more things on my favourites list now :D Thank-you for including my Macchiato Shoulder Bag (made from a coffee sack and salvaged upholstery remnants). I can't believe I'm in such great company!!!
lazydazefarm
Great Items. I always search for eco products. My items are recycled/upcycled also.
MelroseFields
Here is a recommendation for Mother's Day. IngoRain has a great shop:
When I grow up I want to be a lady just like you..
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...
Eco2
I vote for adding an eco-friendly tag! I make eco-friendly jewelry but am afraid it gets lost in the 'jewelry' shuffle. I'd love to be able to promote my efforts to make eco-friendly jewelry!
WebWorksFiber
I feel much the same as Eco2... my rugs are one of the oldest forms of recycling into art and usability. I have been weaving using recycled materials for over 30 years. This is no eco-bandwagon for me :) I would love to see an eco friendly tag or catagory
