Watch for an extravaganza of natural, eco-friendly items from Etsy's website sometime next week: I'll be a Guest Curator on their Storque blog (very exciting!), and will also post all my findings right here on Natural Chic for you to peruse, but in the meantime, here's a fantastic find that I couldn't find a place for in that more home-decorating-based column.

Etsy crafter Annie of  Waterloo, Ont., makes this smashing dog leash out of repurposed silk ties and leash hardware. Could there be any more stylish, green accessory for your four-legged friends?

You can find it at Annie's Etsy shop, anniessweatshop (click on site below), and there's also a matching dog collar. Tons of other patterns are available, too!
