Green Rainbow

A quick note to mention that this Sunday 06/12/11, we will be joining Astoria Market at the Bohemian Hall from 12pm-5pm for a day of fun shopping and gift ideas for Fathers Day and those graduates you may know. As you know Bohemian Hall is also one of the well known Beer Gardens in the city, so make sure to have some extra time along with shopping to enjoy some of their beer collection.

We will bring a small part of our selection of handmade and vintage and always eco-friendly products representing designers and artist with unique talents.

If you are not in the city or if you live in a different state, you can always enjoy our  entire collection online @ greenrainbowshop.com

Enjoy your weekend!

If you live in New York, you probably received or about to receive a postcard like this one.

According to the Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse & Recycling (NYC Department of Sanitation), annually NYC residents throw away approximately 200,000 tons of clothes, towels, blankets, curtains, shoes, handbags, belts, and other textiles and apparel!

The city had to find a way to make it easier and convenient for people to donate instead of tossing away. And the re-fashionNYC Bin were born, through a partnership between The City of New York and Housing Works.

The program is provided to any participating building of 10 units or more with convenient donation services at no cost to the building or taxpayers.

Check out the site for How The Program Works and any other questions.

Question: What items can be deposited into the re-fashioNYC donation bins?
Answer: Wr encourage donations of any clean fabric or material, including clothing, towels, linens, curtains, or clean rags; as well as shoes and accessories such as belts and handbags.

I am sure some treasures will be discovered in the giving process as well!

Do you have any similar program to your city/ state? I think it is a great idea and help for all those who do not have any other way of donating/ sharing their clothing.

who needs gifts, and gifts and then more gifts, when you can simply have your kids hugs and kisses?their unconditional love, their smiles, their games and silly questions?

As a mother, I am full with all of the above and all crazy requirements motherhood brought in for me. As a daughter to my mother, I know that, this is exactly what she wants from her kids as well. Our love.

ok, ok , sometimes I would love some alone time as well… but not for too long!

Happy Mothers Day!

…no need to say much about this one….just…

celebrate with your actions, more, than you do with your words…
