I am back from Vacation! I had so much fun, check out what I did ( and yes this IS my video )


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Getting Ready for Back to Lame-
JK Back to School. I hate the fact that this word has come back into our Vocab! I mean every where you go- walmart, target, the mall, ect. & ect. They are advertising Back to school stuff, It's bad enough that we HAVE to go back, but why must they make our summer lame by ads??? :-) I stop watching TV for good because of school ads.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
bad news VS. good news
BAD NEWS:
due to my trip to Utah and lack of internet there- I was not able to work on creating my products and website- so my store will not open as soon as I wanted it. :-(
G^O^O^D N^E^W^S:
I will however have enough summer left to be able to open it when school starts! :-)

So Save up for Sweet 'n' Savy Stuff comming out around September!

-Laura Singleton

I will be on Vacation Till I get back on August 4th, so Lasting Fashions will be closed for July . But it Will be back up and running on aprox. August 4th ! :-) Have a Good Summer! :-)

Thanks-
Love,

Owner & Creator
Laura Singleton

I going to fly out to Utah on the 14th and will come back some time in August, So I probably won't update my Facebook or blog because my grandpa has no internet! :-( What a night mare! but I will write about my adventures when I get back,

Thanks
Laura

Earth ideas!

Hey,
as you have noticed I'm a "green girl" waste - isn't to my taste! my business is designed all around recycling! Celebrate earth day with lasting fashions by going green, do anything to help the enviornment! Buy some re-usable grocery bags, or even just take a trip to recycling. Anything helps, Keeps lights off during the day , only use them when you HAVE to. plant a tree, pick up trash, or donate money to the WWF ->http://www.worldwildlife.org/home.html?sc=AWY0900WCG00&searchen=google&gclid=CLL2x8m-15kCFRNM5QodCG_aXg DO SOMETHING! Need more idea's ? watch Bill Nye, he can bring up some good helping the enviornment idea's. SO GET UP , & GO GREEN!



The purse below is 100% recycled ( and I made it! ) this is made out of crocheted walmart plastic bags. The strap in made out of tires. This is my contribution to earth day, these would have ended up in the trash- but instead it ende up as my purse! I used 15- 30 bags. It holds alot of stuff too! Now go out and do something for the Earth like I DID! :-) I <3 EARTH!

My friend Rachel Anson owns a buisness called retro modern, in some of the pictures below you will see a purse that she made me. Which I LOVE! Her buisness is called retro modern!
