March Madness

Happy Palm Sunday,
I blogged about a craft fair I entered a few weeks ago and it was yesterday. It got a lot of traffic and I did fairly well. Boy, was I pooped! Lots of people seemed very interested in the "green" theme. I should find out soon about two more I applied for and naturally will keep you posted. The best selling item was the new Ragg Mopp™. I got the idea from the Mission Mop and was ready to order one. I would have needed to get the mop head as well as a new handle so I immediately thought "what will I do with my Swiffer, I can't just throw it away"? So in typical Greenpurse fashion, thought I could make one and did. It has nylon cord for strength and static and reclaimed wool as the mop head with rescued fabric as a means to attach it to the Swiffer. Use and reuse, then throw it in the washer and dryer and you are ready to use it again and again. It is so new it is not yet on my site but anyone interested can send me an email and I'd be happy to get one out to you. $12.50 each. green.purse79@yahoo.com
Happy, happy Holy Week!

Spring has sprung!

I don't know about you, but I am most excited about spring this year. With Easter just around the corner too, it is a time for renewal, beginnings and second chances. I'd like to do more vegetable planting this year and start a compost (if my husband agrees to that). I'd also like to use more of my Nordem baskets and flower sacks. They help use those nasty plastic grocery bags and are as great for the plants as they are for the planet. Buy one hanging basket and get a 4" Flower Sack for FREE! Just send me an email with your order and they'll be shipped straight away. Hurry! My Shopping Connection has featured them on their blog and they are sure to be going fast! Here is there URL, check them out today.

Four Green Steps

Good morning green friends,
This week I'd like to introduce you to some folks at Four Green Steps. It's a really cool site about everything "green" (how appropriate with St. Patty's Day arriving Wednesday!). They have four areas of interest, Marketplace, Infozone, Community and School Programs. As a vendor, you can upload your "green" products for free!!!!!!!!!! It really is FREE! I worked with a gal there who uploaded the stuff for me! Tracy Gutwillig and her group are terrific. Here is the URL http://www.fourgreensteps.com
A side note: Greenpurse has a booth at the Spring Bazaar at Emil Mazy Union Hall in Sheboygan on March 27th from 8:30 until 3:00. Hope to see you there! Happy, happy week!

Old Friends

Good morning all,
I was perusing the the Internet the other week and came across one of our Tie One On bags. This particular bag was created exclusively for BTC elements in Santa Barbara, CA. They have many beautiful lines and I encourage you to take a look at them. Here is the URL http://www.btcelements.com. So, thank you friends for inclusion on your site of one of our most popular bags!

FYI, I am still trying to get a hold of QVC about the sweater bags they were interested in. I have a feeling it won't be long now. I'll keep you posted. Happy, happy week!
