• It's Easy Being Green

  Recyclable, Reusable, Deliciously Edible and Sustainable - the Fancifull Motto

  Taking care of this planet, and thus our future on it, has become a topic of much discussion. The discussion is great, but what can each of us do to make this home of ours habitable for generations to come? It is surprisingly easy how each of us can incorporate practices into our daily life that can effect change. At Fancifull we are designing more and more with the viewpoint of Recyclable, Reusable and Sustainable. Below are some items we have found, and are using, that are fun to use and cut down on the waste, toxins, and use of petroleum.

  Totes: They have become a great fashion accessory these days. Available in a variety of colors and shapes and you can make quite a statement carrying them - both fashion and ecology wise. My daughter and I have great fun sending each other different bags to lug our groceries home. I also use them at my shop when I have a lot to bring home, to take my cleaning to my organic dry cleaner and to bring my lunch to work. I just keep them in my car so they are always handy. I am even getting better about remembering to take them into the store!

  We found a terrific line called Envirosax. They are lightweight and roll up small enough to fit in the palm of your hand with a snap to keep them rolled. You can throw them in your glove compartment, your purse, even a suitcase so you can keep them handy. We even have a five pack that comes in a pouch so you will never be without a satchel, yet the whole pouch can fit in under your seat (or in your glove compartment, unless it is jammed full like mine is).

  Why this is important: The plastic bags used at grocery stores are coming under a lot of scrutiny. They are toxic to make, put harmful emissions in the air, and add to the overwhelmingly full landfills. Many cities are considering banning them. Get a jump-start and use your own bags. I love mine. I would never consider going back to store bags. No bag folding or wondering what to do with all those plastic bags.

  Pure Imagination Chocolates

  Not Just The Same Old Thing

  Or "Why Fancifull?"

  If you check around the web I'm sure you will find a plethora of basket companies, and they all look pretty much the same. In fact, I can predict that they will have the same two chocolates in most of the baskets. Some of these chocolates are okay, they come in pretty gold boxes and a lot of money is spent on marketing them in fancy magazines. At Fancifull, however, we go beyond the pretty face. We want to know the inner beauty, if you will, of the products we sell. We don't get fooled by slick packaging and heavy marketing efforts. Our question is always, "How does it taste?" This sometimes leads us off the beaten path. ...click here to read more
