Swap-o-Rama-Rama
I went, I saw, I crafted (well, kinda)! My first Swap-o-Rama-Rama (in Brooklyn) was a success. I got rid of lots of great clothes that I never wore (I saw a girl exclaiming with delight over two pieces of mine a few hours into the swap, and it was so…
Martha Stewart's a Treehugger!
Martha Stewart used to live less than a mile from me in Westport, CT, where she first got her start as a caterer. I’ve followed her for years, and I have to admit I’m a fan. Whenever she does anything green, I get all excited, because I know lots…
