The Purge Continue - From Mariella Burani to Peep Eyewear

The first phase of Bazar Heureux is on the way.

It is the PURGE where I let go of things so I can give place to something NEW and this new thing is YOU.

For this first week, one item got sold on my eBay shop.

It was an unexpected item. My Mother in Law used Mariella Burani Sunglasses Case.

The Mariella Burani brand does not exist anymore, so I figure that the buyer may be upcycling this item into something new or it may have value in some market I do not know exist. I am kind of looking forward to see what they may come up with. I put a note in the package letting them know that if they transform the item, I want to see what they come up with.

I have seen different ideas on Pinterest for upcycling items - Thebuyer may be inspired by some of those ideas. I know that I personally am. hehe Click on the image for more info

I do not have any sunglasses to put in this box, so I thought best to give it to someone else. In the future, I want some Peep eyewear - they upcycle vintage frame with new lenses. This is quite an idea isn't https://www.peepeyewear.co.uk/

Until then, the purge continues

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge - Monitoring Energy Consumption

According to the Energy Saving Trust you could find that your energy usage drops by between five and 15% in the first year of using an energy monitor, which could be a saving of £25 to £75 on a £500 bill. I am following the homework of the Footpaths book as promised in previous post ( here ). I set myself to read my meters every week to monitor my energy consumption. It is tedious. I tried twice to make it an habit. I fell miserably. Reading is not really the issue but accessing the meter might be the issue. I better put my shoes elsewhere and learn to squat. I recognise that for changing you have to recognise first your pattern of behaviour. The truth of the matter is that I do not know exactly how bad we behave in our household. Badly, most probably. Example - I spent most of the day in my warm gown with a hat on. The heaters were off. Then family came back home in the evening. I went to the kitchen to cook. I came out of the kitchen, go...

Dear Councillors of Leicester, Please Say NO to a new Road at the Full Council Debate on the 4th October

Dear Councillors of Leicester, I am contacting you as one of your constituents to ask you to speak in favour of the removal of the Evesham Road/Aylestone Road link road from the Leicester Local Plan at the council debate to be held on 4th October 2018. I go to Eversham Road every Tuesday for my violin lesson on Heyworth Road from Braunstone Frith. From there, I go to a community of repairers: The Leicester Hackspace in the Faircharm Industrial Estate to work on various projects to help people in Leicester to engage further with trying to repair items in their home. Over the summer, I went to the pebble pool on Aylestone Meadows with my nephews and greatly enjoyed it. Recently, I was made aware that there is a plan to make a link between Evesham Road and Aylestone Road. I was disappointed to hear so. The road will erase some of the historical and social fabric of the space people have been living in for decades. It will also impact tremendously on the natural envi...

Renunciation, an expression of creativity - Part 1

As young children, we’re all creative. We draw, sing, build and dream. Yet somewhere along the way – due to the influence of others and own insecurities – many of us put down these creative instincts. This is what Tom and David Kelley told her parents. Look, she is addicted to video games. she is in a bubble where no one can distract me. School misses her and she doesn't. She is aggressive and throws a tantrum when we try to stop her in her torment.Why did she stop to draw, sing, dance, dream? Why did she build a thick wall around me? Why does she refuse to reveal herself? Share her gift? The real I? Beauty is innocent and easily shredded. So hide it and be nothing. That was her motto. ... Because she believes that the revelation of the true self can be harmed by the influence of others, their jealousy, their agenda, their reflection, their unconscious Machiavellianism.
