What makes your shop eco-friendly or organic based?
For my bags, I reuse plastic shopping bags to make "plarn" - plastic yarn (this is a great use of plastic grocery bags and it is very easy to work with). They're reinforced with yarn that I've received from people - stuff that was in the back of their closets that they never used. I put both clutter and "garbage" to use and make useful items from it!
What do you do everyday that is green?
I'm a vegetarian. I use twisty lightbulbs to save energy. I don't buy fast food. I shop at farmer's markets in the summer. I use baking soda solution and vinegar instead of shampoo and conditioner. I buy handmade soaps rather than the stuff you buy in the store. I shop as American-made and organic as possible(yay!). If it's yellow I let it mellow!
Favorite Book: Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn
Favorite Movie: Pink Floyd's The Wall (one on my favorites too!)
Favorite Color: Bright blue
Favorite item in your shop: I'm really a fan of the "Swank earrings".
