Smart Living Expo Kiama

A quick post to let you know about a great event happening in Kiama this coming Sunday (June 3rd).
The SMART LIVING EXPO celebrates World Environment Day with a range of activities, stalls, talks, workshops and a massive car-boot sale - all promoting sustainable living.




Rapt! is taking part as an exhibitor - our very first ever 'show'. Miss Snupeson and I are very excited and more than a little nervous!  
We're promoting the message "DON'T JUNK IT - FUNK IT", with the aim of encouraging people to upcycle their outdated or unwanted furniture rather than add it to landfill. 
We're taking a number of items along to display (and sell) including 

  • upcycled chairs, 
  • a colourful clutch of brand-new POUFFOTTS (see last post)
  • a new range of DRAFT-DODGERS (for under doors) made from colourful upholstery remnants
  • FRAMED FABRIC (if there's room) - a beautiful piece of cloth fabric (currawongs on hemp). See the SHOP page for details.

















If you're in the area it'd would be fantastic to see you - and if so - please do come and say g'day.

POUFFOTTS

While the blog may have been quiet of late, Bottom's End has not been. Miss Snupeson and I have been flat-out working on a few new products ranges - here's the first - a pouffie-cum-ottoman with the working-name of Pouffott.
Poufotts surely rate 10/10 on the "upcycle scale", being made from empty cable spools, remnant upholstery fabrics and high density foam offcuts.
Please go across to the SHOP page for more details.
Here's Miss Snupeson (Quality Control Officer) inspecting the first batch:
