Ok, Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....
-------
Did you know that over 45 BILLION POUNDS of textile waste are accumulated per year? That's why all of my goods are made from upcycled textiles, aka, old clothes nobody wanted.
I started my business in 1987 with confidence that I could change the way the world saw discarded material, introducing fresh, fun, and funky ways to use what is normally seen as "garbage." Clothes with holes in them or stains aren't lost causes! They can be turned into rugs, blankets, and even bags.
In this shop you will find my latest contributions in the march toward being part of the over-consumption solution. You in?

5 out of 5 starsI’m totally in love with these shears! As a young girl, I always dreamed of the day that I could have my very own, real “grown up” set of shears…and these are *JUST* the ones to fulfill that very dream!! I’m extremely PLEASED. This seller is ACES across the board—Carful, top notch packaging, superior/quality item, exactly as described in the listing. Also shipped and received ON TIME. I could not be happier. **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SELLER** -MEL

5 out of 5 starsI have wanted one of these blankets for years and feel so lucky to get one now. Words cannot possibly do justice to the attention to detail and beautiful choice of fabric texture and colors. This is a forever heirloom. Thank you so much.
