Bio

Hello there!
Thank you for visiting my shop :)

As long as I can remember I have always loved to make things with my hands. I guess I should thank my grandmother who loved to knit, another who loved to crochet and my grandfather who was a tailor.
I've also tried my best to do my part to help save the environment. Some people think it's a bit strange that I take paper home from work to recycle. But to me it's impossible to throw something recyclable in the trash! I think that every bit helps.
That's why I created GreenTrims, because even the smallest things can make a big difference.

All of the items in GreenTrims that are not recycled or organic are reclaimed items.
Meaning that they were either on the way to the trash and I snatched them up, or I received them from a past employer (I worked in the fashion industry in NYC for a while) or a friend, or bought it from a thrift/vintage store, or bought it for myself in the past but never got around to using it. I don't buy anything brand new for GreenTrims unless it's ecofriendly.
