Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

A recycle, repurpose, reuse and re-home Festival/Holiday weekend, held once a year in the Autumn.

Whole communities could offer their surplus stuff for free or for a charitable donation. Just a pile of stuff on a table outside the front of their homes or at an agreed community space. A whole weekend so everyone gets the chance to both donate and treasure hunt. One person’s rubbish is another person’s treasure hunt.

I am a big second hand shopper. It is the most sustainable way to live, giving stuff that has already had a life some extra years of use. The illustrations for this blog are my latest acquisition. A Gentleman’s Working Kimono Jacket.

It pairs very nicely with a pair of winter Corduroy trousers that also had a life before me.

Bring on the festival of re-use.
