Eco Supporters.....

Our much loved BrisStyle Indie Eco Market just wouldn't be complete without our handmade eco lovin' supporters.

Our friends from peppermint magazine will be setting up shop on Saturday to sell collector's editions of the magazine as well as taking new subscriptions.  The perfect Christmas gift idea we think! One lucky market visitor could also WIN a subscription to the fabulous fresh, green, fashion magazine that is peppermint.  To win, all you need to do is pop along to the BrisStyle promo table and vote for your favourite Eco marketeer or product. Easy Peasy!

The lovely ladies and gents from Reverse Garbage will also be coming along on the day with a stash of eco crafting supplies in tow. Up-cycled Christmas decorations perhaps? The Reverse Garbage elves have been busy making decorations for their Christmas tree, so inspiration will be plentiful.

We would also like to say a big green thank-you to Brisbane City Council for supporting three of the 'Make and Take' Workshops that will be happening on the day: Rags to Roses, Origami and make your own Cactus Pincushion.  If you missed out on nabbing a spot in one of these great workshops you won't want to miss tomorrow's post which has a run down on all of the other eco activities that will be happening on the day.
