This piece from Etsy Storque does double duty.  It introduces you to N.E.E.T Magazine and it presents some very nice products for sale in Etsy shops:

Stephanie J is the editor, creative founder and head-tea-girl of N.E.E.T. Magazine, in addition to being a freelance web designer, self-confessed internet geek and fashion junkie. N.E.E.T. began in December 2005 as a quarterly online fashion magazine, dedicated to showcasing independent art and design. Over the years it has grown and now includes handmade, vintage, fair trade, organic and eco-friendly items — showing that fashion isn"t without a conscience. The magazine's aim is to be inspirational, not just aspirational.  N.E.E.T. Magazine is an eco-friendly, grassroots style bible for the digital age.

You can also check out N.E.E.T. at their new daily blog, which highlights and catches up with the magazine"s past designers and artists.  For this Guest Curator post, Stephanie shares her N.E.E.T picks from Etsy using natural materials for this season.

Wood

You can"t get more natural than wood. But instead of cutting down yet another rainforest, why not use reclaimed wood? Decorate your walls with FoxAndClover"s handpainted wood scrap panels or slow down and think with a recycled plywood sign from WilliamDohman.

 

Wool

N.E.E.T. loves statement pieces in bright colors, so this fall we"ll be picking chunky handknit pieces like the Goldenrod Chain Scarf by Yokoo and yarnovermovement"s Dropstitch Cowl in Denim.

 

Metal

Mix up metal with other materials — noemiah layers gunmetal, shell and feathers for her Precious necklace, whilst iheartnorwegianwood turns the fringe dial to maximum with aluminum, brass and steel.

 

Fabric

Breaking away from clothing, fabric is given a new lease of life by Japanese designer Homako, whose cotton necklace is inspired by pearls and bubbles, and The Wonder, a satin bow headband from Mandizzle.

 

Paper

Artist NaomiMurrell"s prints are silk screened onto recycled Australian-made paper, whilst wonting"s limited edition gocco pieces are printed on smart white French paper.

 

Leather

Repurpose and reuse leather this season. santokivintage goes back to the eighties with a vintage studded mini skirt, and VivienCheng lends a fresh look to a leather handbag with her handpainted signature peacock motif.
