New Retail Find - The Did You Know? Store

In an effort to reduce my carbon footprint, I have focused on bring my reusable coffee sleeves to the Providence market. I am happy and proud to announce that, it’s sew you…coffee sleeves will now be carried at The Did You Know? Store in both their locations, Wakefield and East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Owner, Claire Hall’s mission to green up Rhode Island is a perfect fit for my Eco-friendly Reusable Coffee Sleeves. “Claire hopes that through the stores she will be able to provide her customers with the tools to help make their lives a little more ‘Green!’” And, I think she’s doing a great job. http://thedidyouknowstore.com

Through the suggestion of friends on Team Eco Etsy I have begun making pillow gift boxes from recycled papers! I will be adding them to my Etsy shop soon! I'm thinking I'll charge a quarter, is that too much. :) Hope everyone is looking forward to a wonderful and productive New Year!

Custom Orders

I made a lot of Christmas presents this year for friends, but none was as fun as this one. My friend Brooke commissioned me to up-cycle her Lily Pulitzer skirt. It was a reversible wrap skirt in blues and greens. Two pillows, two reusable coffee sleeves, and one travel make-up brush roll.

So cute!!
