Recology and cleaning

I LOVE Recology Sunset Scavenger! So for the past 2 weeks I've been trying to process the reality that my sweetheart of a friend can no longer store my large amount of GreenStyled materials in his basement. Rolls of remnant fabric for linings, rolls of scrap sceening and bags of gorgeous tumbled glass for necklaces and cuffs, and BAGS, BAGS, BAGS, ... . Ok, time to pull my neck outta' the sand and get to work. Sunday, after I fortify myself with fluffy scrambled eggs, Acme bread, and the most delicious fresh fig jam, and cheese from Cowgirl Creamery in the Ferry Building; I go downstairs and stare for a few minutes at a basement of STUFF. Where does stuff come from? Boxes, and boxes, and boxes ... . Ok, I dive in. YESSSS, 8 hours later I have an awesome clean work place, and a HUGE pile of PAPER. Boxes, tissue, wrapping paper from every birthday and Christmas EVER; and baskets in every size and shape. I know a very creative Easter bunny. LOL. and then there's stuff. Today I wake up ready to schedule a special pick up with Recology Sunset Scavenger; and then I hear the clank, clank, clank of the truck picking up my neighbors bins. ahhh, music to my ears. Grabbing a couple of the bags of paper, I run outside. Not my pick up day, but the guys take the time to make numerous trips into my basement, carrying away my junk. A new GreenStyled atelier.

Reiki/Repurposed

Went for a Reiki session today. Christopher Tellez has his practice, SF Reiki Center in ACTIVSPACE at 18th and Treat. Feeling renewed I come out onto Treat Street, and walk by the few adorable salons that are part of ACTIVSPACE. The amazing smell of tuba rose candles wafts out of one. A sign in front of Bisa Bisa catches my eye. "Accessories from recycled materials". Love this place! The owner Chelsea is commited to offering a combination of local artists, and sustainable/fair trade work. She asked about the SWEET D handbag. Super excited about showing her all my work next week.
