Welcome to my world behind the scenes as I attempt to run a business with no idea what I am doing. I Love comments/ advice/opinions or just a quick G'day so please talk to me. I adore hearing/learning/chatting with you all so every comment is most welcome.!
About Me
- Melanie
- East Warburton, Victoria, Australia
- I design, refashion, repurpose and recreate stuff in an effort to reduce stuff that ends up in landfill.
Green Speak
recycle [riːˈsaɪkəl]vb (tr)
1. to pass (a substance) through a system again for further treatment or use
2. to reclaim (packaging or products with a limited useful life) for further use
Conflict-free is a product that can certify that it wasn't obtained through the use of violence.
Fair trade is a system of trade where the workers receive a living wage for the goods they produce.
Carbon-neutral is when greenhouse gas created during an item's production is then mitigated by planting trees. Think about giving back what you take.
Upcycled is taking disposable items and transforming them into something of greater use and value. Aluminum and glass, for example, can usually be upcycled into the same quality of aluminum and glass as the original products.
Post-consumer waste products are used by one consumer, recycled and remade into another product. Think paper that has been recycled into new paper

Oh those are magnets - sweet (in both ways!)
Oh no, I can't believe he forgot them. I love pumpkin pie. I used to live in Michigan and visited Ohio all the time too.
Thank you so much for the lovely magnets! They are adorable and they safely arrived this morning and they are proudly displayed on our fridge. I'm so lucky to have been a winner! Have a lovely holiday!
