Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Have you tried Etsy.com? It's all handcrafted products, but there are lots of creative kids' clothes and vegan goodies like desserts! Yummo! I've seen hemp products there, soy candles, organic products, etc. I've sold my vegan dog biscuits there. But, beware! It's addictive! Jilly in PA In a message dated 6/19/2008 4:43:49 P.M.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Dear Newcastle members, You can actually purchase the eco friendly shoes made from old car tyres, hemp, and other sustainable products at Kathmandu at 6 Northcott drive, KOTARA. Just in case you thought the Americans were the only lucky ones with these goodies for sale!! Cheers from Rochelle P.S.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Jade, I was at the Fancy Food Show here in Chicago in April. There were a lot of vendors selling organic clothing. Check out specialtyfood.com.. It has a listing of their vendors. Not being vegan (or even vegetarian), I didn't understand the purpose. Thank you for clarifying that for me. I'm enjoying this group very much and appreciate all your recipes and tips! Best, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 i love lve love hitting a local Goodwill store, I developed a bit of an attitude when they build this store in my area,then one day I went in and was floored at what people throw out. let me just say that I have been converted and am now a loyal customer. We bought an older frame house and really didnt have that much to put in it, and we have literally furnished it was great garage sale and goodwill finds. While everyone is buying digital tv's i am buying older analogs and plan on just hooking them up to those little boxs at mere fraction of the cost. I havent had a large screen tv in years and now I do. At the age of 50 I grew up on first black and whites and then color analogs, and I am jest fine with them. And I also tried out the tofurky hot dogs and lunch meat and love them. We like to shop at consignment shops and thrift stores, since the kiddies grow so fast!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hello Jade! Welcome to the group. I am also a mom of 2 DD's. I went straight from being an omni to being vegan about a month ago. I am also replacing non-vegan items with vegan items as they wear out and need to be replaced. I read the book " Vegan Freak " and it was a very resourceful and practical book for anyone that is vegan or considering it. Here is a link from their website that has lots of places to shop for vegan clothing, shoes, and various other items. I have also been using Aubrey Organics, Jason, and Giovanni hair products with my hair and my DD's. You can find them at any HFS. My personal favorites are the ones by Aubrey Organics. Here is a link for a condensed list.. http://veganfreak.net/index.php?s=places -Gypsy </message/67166;_ylc=X3oDMTJzZ GxjZmowBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzE2MDkyMDQwBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA0MTcxNgRtc2dJZ AM2NzE2NgRzZWMDZG1zZwRzbGsDdm1zZwRzdGltZQMxMjEzOTcxOTQ5> Introductions and Questions Posted by: " Jade Harper " <fearandfearalone?Subject=%20Re%3AIntroductions%20and%20Q uestions> fearandfearalone <http://profiles./harper_jade> harper_jade Thu Jun 19, 2008 1:43 pm (PDT) Hi Everyone, My name is Jade and I am single mother of 2 children who are all currently living the vegan lifestyle.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 That is awesome! Thanks for the link I will definitely check it out. Being Green now of days is a very big trend and I'm starting to really get caught up in it. You should check out Stop Global Warming.org. Being Organic is another movement as people are realizing how the use of chemicals can be causing so many problems within our body. So buyign products that are treated with no or less chemicals which is always nice! , Chef Kathy <chefkathy wrote: > > Jade, > > > > I was at the Fancy Food Show here in Chicago in April.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 " Being Green " has been a big part of my life since 1976.....it is just that a lot of celebrities have gotten on the band wagon and made it popular just like they did in the 80's for world hunger. John Denver, whom I first met when I was 14 and he 18, started the Windstar Foundation in 1976....one of the " greenest " not for profit organizations around. And received awards for his humanitarian efforts to end world hunger, to reforest the earth from old growth trees that have been cut down, and to explore more efficient technology for energy way before the " We Are The World " group. John was instrumental in organic thinking years and years ago. I am glad to see the younger people in our world come to the realization that we all have to work together to save our Spaceship Earth. Unfortunately, the earth goes thru periods of global warming and ice ages as well, regardless of us puny humans. Everyone needs to conserve energy, water and work on not polluting in any way possible so we can all share a sustainable Spaceship Earth.....as Buckminster Fuller started calling our earth in the 50's, and keep it sustainable for our children, grandchildren and all future generations to come. You can do something as simple as picking up trash along the roads near you (and walk doing that not driving a car).....turn off the water, don't let it run, when you brush your teeth, double up on as many errands as possible, share a ride when possible, and just think before you act. The Earth Mother News magazine is always full of ideas to help us keep our world in the best shape possible. Peace, (as John always added to his closures in letters and on autographs) Nancy C. " You do not inherit the earth, you borrow it from your children " ..... " If not me, who? If not now, when " . That is awesome! Thanks for the link I will definitely check it out.
