Trashion Treasuries Abound!

There are seriously THREE awesome TRASHION treasuries on etsy right now! Kudos to Sweetyprize, PureKatherine and Miggipyn for putting these beauties together. I especially dig the Red themed treasury.





















The Trashion street team is keeping busy gearing up for a trunk show at etsylabs in Brooklyn on July 27 and has also opened up a collaborative team shop. So much trashion, so little time! It's all happening!

New TRASHION Shop + Trunk Show Announcement!

Last week the etsy Trashion street team launched a collective shop on etsy.com which will feature items from many of the 70+ and growing street team members.

What is trashion? Trash + Fashion = Trashion. But Trashion doesn't just stop at recycled clothing and accessories. Revamped home decor and repurposed paper goods fit the bill, too - and it's all functional, fashionable, and eco-friendly.

Check out the new EtsyTrashion site HERE and check back often as we will be adding new items from street team members frequently.

The street team will also be hosting a trunk show at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn NYC on Friday, July 27th. We will have recycled art, jewelry, clothing, home decor & more for sale, plus there will be trashion-themed films, make-your-own trashion activities and refreshments. The trunk show is FREE and open to all ages, plus the first 25 people through the door will receive a complimentary trashion team gift bag! If you're in the area check it out!!

making junk awesome.

These are the first couple of bags I finished for the etsylabs Trashion trunk show. The first was made from an old shopping bag and the second one from a 1950s map. The ribbon was repurposed - I NEVER throw away ribbon when I receive a gift and these scraps are working out perfectly! The bags will be used for swag bags for a handful of lucky early birds at the Trunk show on July 27 at the etsylabs in Brooklyn. Several trashion street team members will be making swag bags (and lots more will be filling them!) so no two bags will be alike! Do you dig?

For details on the trunk show check out the banner at the top of my blog. And if you are interested in getting involved with the trashion street team on etsy they are always welcoming new members!
