Join me and other participating MMP boutiques for another Pink Friday...online shopping with a twist. Having been an environmental toxicologist, the theme of reduce, reuse, recycle is definitely near and dear to my heart.
This week's theme goes hand-and-hand with the upcoming Earth Day celebration. Antique and vintage dealers live this theme daily. Many of our mothers and grandmothers lived this theme when they turned old scraps of fabric--good pieces of fabric from worn out clothes or drapes-- into quilts, dolls, or anything else they could think of. My dad & mom grew up during the Great Depression and as they always say..."Throwing things away was not an option. You made do...passed clothing down from an older child to a younger one, made shorts out of long pants that had grown too short...because you just didn't have the money to run out and buy something new."
Today; however, there is yet another twist on the green theme. Individuals are finding ways to repurpose old textiles and paper ephemera with some exciting results.
Whether you like old porcelain, textiles, or paper ephemera...this Pink Friday theme will have you "Keeping it Green".
This Friday at Sew Graceful all Pink Friday items will be discounted 20%. So stop in for a visit. While you are at it...visit the other Pink Friday participating boutiques. Shopping from your chair with a warm cup of tea...it doesn't get better than this!
