2nd year at the Warden Abbey Vineyard Christmas Ma 2nd year at the Warden Abbey Vineyard Christmas Market and we had such a great day. It’s lovely to engage with visitors and show them the amount of materials that are heading to landfill and what can be done with it. The look of shock and disgust when I share the stories of where the waste comes from and the pride in people’s eyes when they walk off with their new accessory makes me know it’s worth it! Don’t miss out on grabbing your gifts, still loads availabile and more to be added to my online shop so please do message if you see anything you like x
Hanging out in Haynes village Hall today and stuff Hanging out in Haynes village Hall today and stuffs selling quick! So get down here and grab your free mince pie and some great Christmas gifts 🎁
🌟 Why Sharing Small Business Posts Matters... e 🌟 Why Sharing Small Business Posts Matters... especially today! 🌟 A few months back, I shared a post from my super-talented sister-in-law showcasing her beautiful artwork. Usually, I’d just hit “like” and admire from afar (I can’t draw at all!), but this time, I decided to share it. Within minutes, one of my friends saw it, loved her work, and made a purchase! 🎉 This reminded me just how powerful a share can be. We’ve all worked hard to grow our networks, so why not use them to help others? Even if it’s not something you’d buy yourself, someone in your feed might love it! Let's support the creators we know and love! ❤️ Every share, every like, every comment can make a world of difference for a small business. So let’s keep the love going—#ShareSmallBusiness posts and help these talented artists reach new customers. They need us now more than ever! #SupportSmallBusiness #ShareTheLove #ShopSmall #SupportArtists #SmallBusinessSupport #SpreadTheWord #HelpLocal #citizenfriday #boycottblackfriday #saynotoblackfriday

Summer 2024!! Been a little quiet on the socials Summer 2024!!

Mid flow of the summer season and flags are out in Mid flow of the summer season and flags are out in various locations over the next few weeks. Love receiving pictures of the team having fun and making spaces look vibrant and colourful and it’s even more special when I get photos sent through by other friends attending the festivals who have recognised my work #beingnoticed #festivalflags #latitude #greengathering #boomtown #summervibes #vibrantdecor #festivallife
Baffled…. It confuses me immensely when companie Baffled…. It confuses me immensely when companies donate clothing/textiles which are branded but then are absolutely adamant that their brand is not visible or recognisable in any way, like they are embarrassed that they have ‘responsibly’ disposed of the items. I know that a lot companies waste is often down to over producing, changing brands or trends etc which creates excess waste with no thought to the impact on the environment or thought to where these items will be disposed but when a business actively seeks out an alternative way to donate or save the items from going to landfill surely that’s something we should be encouraging and shouting from the rooftops. NOTE - I’m also aware that this subject is a lot bigger than my baffle and a lot of the issues begin with manufacturing, nothing is as simple as it seems and we shouldn’t be encouraging any business of any size to just dump their products onto someone else and wipe their hands of it 💕 So anyway… in line with ‘current’ guidelines I recently came into possession of a hat, a cap to be precise. There are a lot of these from a certain unnamed company and I took one to see what I could do to re-brand/patch it so it could be repurposed and this is what I did. One of one for the time being and we shall see if more appear I hope that one day these waste piles of brand new products will be less but also that companies with excess will stand tall and be accountable about their overproduction and allow us to share who they are instead of lurking in the shadows. #reducereuserecycle #re_action_collective #patching #reducelandfill #overproduction #newhat #oneofakind
Working as a freelancer and a solo businesswoman r Working as a freelancer and a solo businesswoman running my own company is super exciting but also really tough and challenging but at the end of 2022 something changed and I was approached by the still emerging @re_action_collective finding their feet but with a goal to bring together like-minded individuals/businesses/CIC’s & charities to challenge product marketing - the twisted advertising that tells us we need everything to be shiny and new. Instead they want to change peoples mindsets and encourage reuse, repair and recycling saving overproduced products and textiles from heading straight to landfill. Two years on from my own involvement the collective has grown rapidly and now includes almost 40 separate organisations all bringing their own experiences, knowledge and skills from across the globe. Many of us have had opportunity to collaborate on various projects but this weekend was the first Reaction Collective weekender and it was EPIC!! We met each other face to face, discussed ideas, held workshops, viewed a fantastic film, walked, talked, created, ate amazing food and shared skills and inspiring stories all in the beautiful setting of the Peak District. Summer is always chaotically hectic for @littlerecreationsuk - with Festivals, Weddings and Corporate Events back to back in the diary so I had doubts right up to the week before leaving that I would even make it to this special event, but WOW how grateful I am that I made it!!!! Thank you tribe, you bring me joy and i am humbled to be part of such an inspirational collection of demonstrators #feelinggrounded #feelinglove #feelingjoy #smallbusinessowner #findingyourtribe

Super shocked to be waking up to news that we've b Super shocked to be waking up to news that we've been mentioned in @patrickgrantism 's new book!! 🌟 Exciting News that we just had to share on #CitizenFriday! Really stoked to announce that @littlereacreationsuk and other members of the @re_action_collective are thrilled to be featured in the new thought provoking book 'Less' by the one and only (The Great British Sewing Bee ) Patrick Grant! 📚✨ With consumerism at an all-time high and a pile of textile waste visible from space and growing every year, it’s clear we must change our habits. Patrick Grant's exploration of consumption and quality in fashion challenges us to rediscover the joy of fewer, better-quality items. 🌱💚 He shares his journey, advocating for craftsmanship and mindful consumption. 💡 It's a call to rethink our relationship with clothing, with the potential to revitalize local economies and restore prosperity. As a Collective dedicated to sustainability and mindful living, we're inspired by Patrick Grant's vision. 🌟 Let's all make the change from mindless consumerism to intentional spending, meaning we take our power back by choosing where our money goes and where every purchase reflects our values and contributes to a brighter world. 🌈✨ #SustainableFashion #MindfulLiving #PatrickGrant #lessislore #ifitsbrokefixit #beresponsible #repairnotreplace #repairandreuse #littlerecreationsuk

Last year…. Maybe the year before 🤷🏻‍♀ Last year…. Maybe the year before 🤷🏻‍♀️ … a while ago I had 20,000 unused festival wristbands donated from a London Festival 20,000 ….TWENTY THOUSAND!!! I have slowly been using them, tassels on flags, tags for bags but haven’t even touched the sides! So this week I made a weaved square of fabric, time consuming but worth it as now I can make other items with the fabric I create! 44 wristbands to make a patch and 1 patch can make two wallets so that’s …… a lot of wallets 😂 #savedfromlandfill #reducinglandfill #festivalfamily #wastenotwantnot #UpcycledFashion #allpointseast #allpointseastfestival #agreenerfestival #festivalwristbands #reducereuserecycle
