Hi. Not sure how many of you live in the UK, but there's an Indie Eco Design Fair next Thursday. It's from 5-9pm. 2GBP entry, but loads of cool stuff. Check it out.

Hi, I'm eddy from Northeastern Kansas. I'm a wonderful pack rat from way back. I recycle or repurpose or whatever you want to call it whenever I can. In fact, some people I know bypass taking things to the thrift shops and bring them directly to me!

Hello lovelies!
I've always thought of myself as a pack rat because I save most if not all of my scraps from my crafts and such. But then recently I realized that I make about 85% of my jewelry out of found and recycled stuff! That made me happy. I hate to throw things away that would be a possible project in the future.

Hi,
I'm Trish. I am an indie fashion designer in Chester CT. My line is MerGirl...I co-founded smashingdarling.com...I have a big beautiful mastiff named Fenway, and a 20 lb cat named Ziggy (as in Marly)
I always have scraps at the end of my design table so if anyone makes small things and are interested in scraps let me know. I will send them out. I never throw them away. Nice to meet everyone!

Hi Everyone,

This is a perfect group for me because I reuse everything. I should actually be in a 12 step program, it's almost a serious problem. LOL

I will be a bit of a slacker for the next couple of weeks because of work, but will be happy to participate after that.

Thank-you very much for the invite!

((((HUGS))))
