……and that’s why we’re super excited to be a part of America Recycles Week here in Fredericksburg, Nov 5-13th!
10,000 Villages has partnered with the Rappahannock Group Sierra Club to host this week long celebration of all things re-useable. You can check out the entire schedule and list of events here.
We’ve come up with a win-win contribution for bv + recycling week. Come by the shop and donate your old t-shirts (you know the ones…”Junior Ring Week 1999″ or “Stafford Soccer Youth Camp 2009″) that you don’t wear anymore and we will turn them into re-useable shopping bags to give to bv customers during the upcoming holiday season in lieu of the traditional kraft paper bags we use every day. That’s like, double the recycling.
The t-shirt bags are super cute, easy to stuff in your purse while you’re out and about and double as awesome gift bags. The shirts can be any size and any shape – as long as there are no holes, please bring them on by!
If you’re participating in the America Recycles Week tag your bag/punch card raffle, you can get your punch card marked when you donate your t-shirts, bringing yourself one step closer to a full card and awesome prizes at 10,000 Villages on Sunday, Nov 13th.
Buying vintage clothing is fun (obviously) and it allows you to create a style all your own (something a trip to Ann Taylor Loft or Old Navy can’t)….but one of the most important fringe benefits of buying that fringe poncho is that you’re recycling whilst shopping.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me at megan@beaucoupvintage.com. Otherwise, we’ll see you next week with your old t-shirts!
