First stop, the Farmer's and Artist Market at the Grand Rapids Public Library. This is something that is usually held at the the Fulton Street Farmers Marker during the regular season which starts next month. We had a good time and found some great finds!
We came home with all kinds of homemade soaps, some geraniums, a spider plant and 2 reused fabric accessories.
The first is a small wallet made from and expired fabric sample book.
Made by Stuff & Nonsense
I had my purse stolen out of my van (in my own driveway) a few weeks ago. In it I had 2 wallets. One with all your regular wallet stuff: ID, bank card, credit card and money. The other held punch card and business cards. This reused wallet is perfect for my punch cards and business cards.
The second is a clutch made of an old sweat shirt and has the characters of one of our favorite books one it! (A great find made by my dear husband)
Made by Sally Ann
She reused the front and back of the sweatshirt as well as a zipper from another piece of clothing. So far it has come in really hand bringing books back and forth from the library.
Next stop, the zoo, for Party for the Planet! Oh how my girls love the zoo! They had over 30 West Michigan organizations there with seedling give-aways, games, entertainment, science experiments, recycling, conservation tips, and of course the animals! They even had a designated area in the parking lot where you could your old electronics and clothes to be recycled. Unfortunately we forgot our recyclables, but will be making drop offs soon.
We did come home with lots of information, which after I have had a chance to read and research I will share. We also came home with 2 fur seedling, some flower seeds the girls planed and a bird house kit that we are going to build and hang this weekend.
