A word from our friends

It's an Upcycle Design Challenge! Hey Upcyclists, UnCommon Goods is looking for good upcycled designs and they've asked us to spread the word.  
Here's the opportunity: 

• Grand Prize: $500 + UncommonGoods Vendor Agreement
• They accept all sorts of materials as long as they are safe and animal-friendly. So no lead, leather, feathers, or pearls. They love unique materials, especially those that tell an interesting story, so don't forget to share your medium's tale with us in your product description.
• Judges: Writer and Reporter Yuka Yoneda, Chief Design Junkie at TerraCycle: Tiffany Threadgould and UncommonGoods Associate Buyer for Home Decor Alexis Campagna.
• Submission Deadline: September 30, 2013 at 11:59 PM ET
• Questions? Email upcycling-contest@uncommongoods.com

Okay, we vow to communicate a little more loudly.  To post a little more frequently.  To upcycle a little more collaboratively.  To grow a little more collectively.   And to drop some roots a little more permanently.  ........Yeah, we said it, the P word.  In 2010 we opened as a pop-up and we still feel passionately about activating vacant space this way.   But now we get to be part of a bigger collaboration with creative reuse at its very center and we are opportunists, especially when a historic Cleveland neighborhood is at the center of a project.
We're partnering up with the Upcycle St. Clair project (a project of St. Clair Superior CDC in partnership with Nicole McGee of Plenty Underfoot and the Cleveland Flea), and we're moving on into the St. Clair neighborhood!  More details in the coming month(s)!  Will you join us as we take this big leap?!
