Wow, this is my very first post as a blogger. And if you knew how recently I joined Facebook, you’ll understand what a big deal for me this is. So what will this blog be about you ask? Well I see it as a conduit for me to express my thoughts and opinions on what I am passionate about – sustainability, fashion and food.
So seeing as I have returned form exhibiting in the Organic Expo in Melbourne, I can’t think of a better blog topic to start us off and which also combines ALL my 3 loves – sustainability, fashion and food!
The Organic Expo is held annually alternating between Melbourne and Sydney. Having exhibited now 3 times at this Expo, I treat it as somewhat of a reuniting of friends – a gathering of people with a common interest. There was food, skin care, make-up, more food and a few clothes (mostly babies!). Its always great to be surrounded by so many like-minded and passionate people.
At the stand (image below!), we had some lovely comments about how colourful and pretty everything was. And that truly is the Sahara Bloom philosophy. Being green, and caring about the environment doesn’t mean that you have wear hessian sacks or not embrace beautiful, colourful and lovely clothing, homewares and fabrics. I launched some of my new prints for kids as well as women and had an excellent time surprising people with the product – yes bamboo is still a new thing for many!
Thanks to Sera from Mainstream Green for helping out. And see you next year in Sydney 2010!
