Diane Overstreet 10/17/2018 9:26 AMI purchased a used desk chair from Marketplace, rather than buying a new one. This is a Pottery Barn chair, has a bit of wear on the arm rests, but has character. Now my goal is to purchase only previously used or loved furniture (except for mattresses).

Diane Overstreet 9/27/2018 12:06 PMI consider use and function when ordering public outreach giveaways. I ask myself, "Will this item end up in the trash or will they use it?" We offer the Spin-the-Wheel game, and they select a prize. The prizes include: reusable tote bag, bike bell, tape measure/level, clip on reflector & blinker, reflective ankle/wrist bands, post-it notes, spiral eco-notebooks and string back packs.-
