Project 2nd Life

I bought these handmade stud earrings at a thrift store, knowing I needed to convert them because I don't have pierced ears. Today was the day! Thank you and a big hell yeah to a local, small business Topaz Bead Gallery I love them and I can't wait to wear them!

I love recycling! Doing it right is very important, so I really appreciate this map at the Quinn St. Recycling Centre. I don't know if it's new or I just never noticed it before, but a worker pointed it out today when I asked where the flexible plastic bin was.

Today, I was at Homespun Refillery here in Prince George and I was blown away. It is so awesome to have such a great resource for local, handmade, and sustainable goods here. I was also pleasantly surprised by how busy it was in January. Here are a *few* pics of some stuff available. Today, I bought a reusable toothbrush and sustainable toothpaste to try.

This episode was so good and so interesting. It made me think of Rebicycled Treasures here in PG.

Gift of giving...

I was lucky enough to visit the REAPS (Recycling & Environmental Action Planning Society) office today and I saw all these lovely recycled and natural Christmas decorations. These trees made from plastic bottles are very impressive. Terri can give you more details about this doll. But I remember something about a can and hosiery.

My favorite is upcycled mismatched socks into gnomes!

Always this new skill can create wonderful gifts this holiday season.
