I'm back! Sort of! LOL

Hey everyone!

Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. I have decided that I'm not going to let not having a car get in my way of doing what I love. That's right! I'm going to reopen my shop! Only when I came back to Etsy, all my shop items have expired (Oh Noez!) so instead (since i don't have the money right now to re-list EVERYTHING) I'm going to open up an ArtFire.com account.

The Good:
It's free!
You don't have the be a member or have an account to shop!
You can find tons of awesome stuff there!
It's new!

The Bad:
It's not Etsy.
It's going to take some getting used to.
It's in beta testings still.

Overall I think the good out weights the bad so why not! If worse comes to worse, I'll just go back to Etsy or make my own RixiePixie's Upcycled Creations website!

So stay tuned! Join the mailing list to the right --> so you can keep track of when the new shop will have it's RE-Grand Opening (With most likely a sale!)

-Love always

Team Trashion Encourages Shoppers to Go Green on Black Friday

Going back as far as the 1960’s, the day after Thanksgiving has held the unfortunate title of Black Friday. The name was given due to the madness that happens in highly commercialized places of commerce, but mostly because of the heavy traffic on that day. Folks are at the mall before the sun comes up, cars fill freeways and parking lots, money is burned on mass produced products and the gas it takes to get to them. It can get ugly.

Team Trashion, a unique, eco friendly, international group of artisans on etsy.com visualizes a different sort of Friday following Thanksgiving. Team Trashion wants to encourage families to keep the car in the garage, leave their slippers on and curl up with loved ones and a second helping of pumpkin pie. Doesn’t that sound great?

On Friday, November 28, Team Trashion will provide holiday shoppers with a unique opportunity to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts that are innovative and eco friendly. Buyers will be able to connect directly with sellers at a virtual Trunk Show on www.etsy.com. Over 30 Team Trashion artisans will be showing a varied collection of handmade treasures all created from upcycled, repurposed or otherwise abandoned materials. The Team Trashion Green Friday Trunk Show will be overflowing with holiday shopping opportunities that would make Mother Earth proud. You will not want to miss it!

The Team Trashion Green Friday Trunk Show is at 7pm est – just the perfect time to grab a cup of tea and do a little shopping in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how you get there:

1 - Log on to www.etsy.com If you do not have an Etsy account click here it's free to join, and you'll be glad you did!
