one day i walked into a coffee shop and saw an ad for a green bug. it became the catalyst for my love of all things vintage. i have always loved art, thrifting, and creativity. now i have a found an outlet to combine all my passions into one. i began my etsy business greenbugbags in the fall of 2010. in 2011, i took the plunge and expanded my business and opened SHOP #2!!!!!!
i have named it greenbugmarketplace. my desire is to make art with life and not let the materials others disregard go to waste. i thrift, i upcycle, and i create.
i am pleased to say i strive to make all my products and packaging as eco-friendly as possible. all cardboard used in my shop comes from upcycled cereal boxes. all fabric is purchased at thrift stores. all other materials(buttons, etc.) have been either found secondhand or reused.
