MissMalaprop :( Looks like I'm skipping Fiesta Latina today. Started loading the car and things were already starting to get wet... can't risk that much inventory with rain all day. Oh well...

I KNOW Miss....this is the second month in a row I was supposed to do the Elysian Flea that it has rained......Reese just changed the name to "Elysian Flea, rain or shine" but who is going shopping in the rain? And who wants to shiver all day whilst protecting the art you toiled so hard to create?? No me!

MissMalaprop Because toxic chemicals found EVERYWHERE in our daily lives suck. "Since 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market." http://www.facebook.com/saferchemicals?ref=mf

Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families is a nationwide effort to pass smart federal policies that protect us from dangerous toxic chemicals.

I love this story about eco-friendly clothing company Nau and how they built the fixtures for their pop-up shop in Soho using reclaimed materials from the streets of NYC. You can bet that when I finally get my brick & mortar retail store off the ground, I'll be using as much found and reclaimed materials as possible fo...r the store decor and fixtures. This is such great inspiration!

A SoHo clothing store aims to create a space using materials that were almost entirely rooted in New York City’s waste stream.

The first Buffalo Exchange used bicycle rims hanging from the ceiling for their fixtures! I can't imagine that was super sturdy.

I just received a bunch of amazing recycled leather and vintage button rings the other day, from Greenbelts. I’ve been stocking up on more handmade lines via wholesale, as I’m slowly working my way towards a retail store.
