The first ever Recycle in Style Earth Week Fashion Show was tonight (April 25, 2009) at the MidAmerican Aerospace Warehouse in Cedar Rapids. Organizer Stacie Johnson noted the space was fitting, as the company recycles airplanes. About 200 people surrounded the runway where models from area consignment shops showed off some of the fashions available for a fraction of the cost of new. Local designer Sonya Darrow also modeled her “Seven Days, Seven Different Styles for under Seven Dollars” collection.
Here is a sample from tonight’s first-ever event:

hi, just dropping by to let you know I like your blog. I saw it on twitter and thought I would check it out. I’ll come back later.
Building a jewelry organizer can be time consuming. For better results, I would have a look at some of the “do it yourself” techniques.
well done.
