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!

SVA

Their is a group in my area called SVA, Sheboygan Visual Artists. A very good friend of mine is a member and asked if I would consider doing a canvas for their Small Works Project (I actually did two!). You receive a 8" x 10" canvas and get to work. The panels are exhibited at the EBCO Artworks building from January through June. June 25, 2010 the panels will be for sale by claim ticket for just $20. For more information and to view the panels or get your panel, go to http://www.sheboyganvisualartists.com. Happy, happy week!

Extra Blog

I was so excited about my new idea I had to blog about it. See the press release attached or go to www.gnosisarts.com. Happy, happy Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Green Giving

Good morning all,
Lent has arrived and is a time for fasting, abstinence and giving. As most of you probably know, I donate 10% of all sales to a charity for abused children. In addition, I search out events having to do with children or the environment and send an auction item or two. I do on occasion receive requests for donations for a number of causes. Most recently I responded to a query for Going Green Film Festival in LA and sent a nice big book bag to the Fallbrook Youth Baseball team in Fallbrook, CA. If you know of a child or children that could benefit from these donations contact Tina at green.purse79@yahoo.com. Happy, happy week!
