Repurpose Recyle Reuse

In our off time, the team at Inspirations by Gina love to go to eclectic consignment stores and thrift shops to see what we can find for our clients. One of our favorite places to go is Urban Ore in Berkeley, CA. You never know what you might find there. Since repurposing and recycling is so cool and hip and at the same time helps out our beautiful planet and the fragile eco system, we thought you might like how various wagons are used.

Green Weddings

It might be the fall in many parts of the country, but here in Northern California, we are having our usual Indian summer and the garden is still producing a bumper crop. Do you know that 90% of wedding favors are thrown out after the wedding? Why not be “green” and have favors for your guests that they can reuse? We love the idea of using herbs or succulents as favors. It adds a touch of greenery to the guest tables, make a great conversation piece and guests can take them home and plant them.
