Relationships! Relationships! Relationships! It touched my heart to see how five ACCESSORIES brought two people from different backgrounds together for the summer. Ivory is a mother of 5 children living on the S. Side of Chicago and Emily is a college student living on the NW side of Chicago. This picture was taken at the end of the Renegade Craft Fair Festival in wicker park this past weekend where we sold our eco friendly designer handbags and other green handmade gifts. As they turned to leave, they put their arms around each other. I had to make them turn back for a photo.

Lollapalooza in Chicago

Lollapalooza in Chicago! Great support from Lolla fans who were interested in our eco-friendly Cambodia collection such as the off the shoulder recycled mosquito netting bag. Great for walking long distances, a fair trade purchase as well as a stylish and comfortable bag. We handed out cards to shop online to receive free shipping by entering “LOLLA” as the discount code. Offer still available for a limited time. Make sure to check out our website at http://www.fiveaccessories.com/ to check out our socially conscious and eco-friendly handbags as well as our jewelry & more!

Such great finds include out recycled CTA transit card picture frames. I mean let’s try to think how many transit cards must have been used to transport all Lollapalooza goers? I’m sure millions! Why not recycle those into a great and unique Chicago gift!

How and where do Coconut Trees Grow? Coconut trees are very hard to establish in dry climates, and cannot grow there without frequent irrigation; in drought conditions, the new leaves do not open well, and older leaves may become desiccated; fruit also tends to be shed. Coconut palms are grown in more than 80 countries of the world, with a total production of 61 million tonnes per year. In fact, behind the Philippines, Indonesia is the second largest producer of coconut trees with over 15 million tonnes per year.

Perfect bag to fit the new iPad

I’m sure all of you have heard of Apple’s newest technological masterpiece, the iPad. With its lightweight and rectangular display, there simply is nothing an iPad can’t do. Photos, Searching the web, Word documents, YouTube, Facebook, Video, Music, you name it, I’m sure the I Pad has it. The one downside of the multi-use I Pad is its unusual size. A large tote might damage the screen and it is sure not to fit in a small clutch.
