The most important R!

There are so many good reasons to bring your bag everywhere, here's a few:

1. rely less on natural gas and petroleum (plastic bags are made from petroleum)

2. create less trash

3. practice the most important of the 3 R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) which is REDUCE.

When picking your shopping bags, be sure that it's one that you like and won't forget to put in your car or bike everyday.

Here is a link to my line of reusable shopping and produce bags, that is if you like my style!

slowing down during the busiest time of year...

This is the time of year when it gets a little crazy with the holidays. So this is when I try extra hard to slow down. Last week our friend Kimberly came by for a morning painting session in our front garden. It's moments like these, slowing down to enjoy life with friends that make the rest of the day's challenges easier to tackle and overcome.

Fall Family Festival in La Quinta

I will be showing my upcycled line of products at the Fall Family Festival in La Quinta on Saturday, November 13 from 10-4.

Imagine...you can do all you holiday shopping in a couple of hours in a beautiful setting and you will be supporting local businesses and most importantly at the Tea With Iris booth...HANDMADE!!!
