Re-USE!

Corks can be used is SO many ways....

Cork is a renewable resource that is beginning to get the recognition it deserves.  From flooring to decorative art material, it's "popping" up all over!  At the store, shoppers come looking for used wine corks to be used for bulletin boards, hot pads, decorative borders, cat toys - and creations we are waiting to hear about!  The Anthropologie challenge - a cooperative venture between the clothier, Kendall Jackson and the Cork Forest Conservation Alliance resulted in amazing creations re-using millions of corks in the Anthropologie windows.

Amy Robinson at workFrom the opening of the store last October to now, Amy has worked quietly behind the scenes helping us at The I.D.E.A. Store to organize our wonderful donations. 

 

Amy's been focusing lately on our incredible fabrics - identifying, marking, pricing and storing as well as helping us devise a system for storage and retrieval so that we can get it on the floor for sale!  Thanks, Amy!

The I.D.E.A. Store is EXPANDING!

Watch for signs of change at the store while we work on making our operations work more smoothly and increase our sales area!  We are developing new workshop and classroom space in the same building in additional space as well as a new receiving area for our donations!  We are so excited about how we can have a bigger impact on interrupting the waste stream and supporting our local schools. 

Watch us Grow!
