Oak

from Keara's Blog:

"I love the cult-like following behind these lamps. I get little updates from Google Alerts everyday about someone writing about the Tupp-a-lamps and lately that seems like everyday.

The designer of the lamps, Frank, just dropped off some more the other day including a new design that we didn't have at Oak before. He also brought in some cool scarves made from recycled T-shirts which I have yet to put online.

You can read the full article in the press section of the website.

riiiiiiight.... HERE. "

New Merchandise News

Green to Grow
Greeen to Grow Green to Grow, in the most fundamental sense, did not start as an idea for a company. It began with a commitment, as parents, to the gathering of information that would allow them to provide the best possible care for their son. What the owners found, and continue to find in their research, is both appalling and inspiring. Appalling because humans have created an astounding array of dangers for ourselves, and especially for our children. Inspiring because there is deep and widespread commitment to addressing these dangers and to promoting healthy alternatives.
Creating a line of bisphenol A free baby bottles was a way of taking direct action where they saw a need.

A couple of NH women got to thinking  about how they like to use re-useable bags when they shop.  They didn't mind using those $1.99 bags and canvas bags for grocery shopping, but decided to create an attractive shopping tote for trips to the Mall or Downtown.   The bags are sewn in Nh as well, by Enviro-tote (who also make our Mother & Child tote bags.)







Green Guru
Climbing Rope BraceletClimbing rope bracelet

Climbing Ropes have a very interesting story. In some cases, they are used indoors and outside for long periods of time. Many however, don't even see the light of day and are only safe to be used for climbing for a few months. Once a Climbing Rope has endured a few falls, they are decommissioned from climbing use. This goes for camps, climbing gyms, beginners and avid climbers.
The problem is, a new rope is good for roughly 35 years, and most are unusable within their first year of life.
This is where Ecologic Designs comes in to repurpose climbing ropes into fashionable, clean and colorful bracelets. There are five different sizes, ranging from XS-XL, and a rainbow of color possibilities. Please join us, and our reclamation partners, in expanding the life of such a cool and lifestyle-oriented raw material.

Consignmor News

It is wonderful and crazy!!
We have seen a magnificent increase in the number of parents who are interested in recycling their children's clothing.  On every consignment day in September there were more consignments than we usually see in two or three days!!
 We are reminding you --and asking you to remind your friends-- that it is best if you call within the hour that you want to bring consignments to ask if we are able to take them.  Thank you. :)  We do answer the telephone staring at 9 AM in the mornings.

603 886 6727 -ask for a business card during your next visit.

more reminders:

   1. please do not park in the truck-turn-around, and please use the back entrance for loading and un-loading only.  Please pull around front to park after unloading consignments.
   2. please sort and count your items at home, as our consignment area is small and gets congested.  Additionally, we find that many people are thinking that we will TAKE 30 items and so they will bring more than 30 thinking that we will keep looking until we find 30 items that we think will sell..  The rule is that we look though not more than 30 items.  Please do not bring more than 30 items with you as we will not look at more than the first 30. Thank you.  

Thank you so much for your understanding  and cooperation, and thank you for taking the time to read all of the above. 
We really appreciate it.

If there is radiance

    in the soul

    it will abound in the family.

If there is radiance

    in the family

    it will abound in the community.

If there is radiance

    in the community

    it will grow in the nation.

If there is radiance

    in the nation

    the universe will flourish.
