I’m looking for someone to build a clothing stand for me out of recycled wood. I need someone who knows recycled wood and has a bit of flair.
I have the main plan and can source the wood.
If you know of anyone, please send on the info….for the recommendation that I take on, that person (who recommended the carpenter/artist) will receive an eco peko gift.

its the biggest one yet!!!
26 March, 2010
Oh me, oh my, its a very exciting change for Upmarket this week, with our move to UWA (lots of parking folks…lots…. [I had a market downer last weekend...no parking... hefty fines (200 bucks!!!) it was a 'no parking' market venue]).
Well after that ‘mother earth’ of a storm, UWA wasn’t looking that flash (lots of windows broken), so Justine (not me…Mrs Barsley…or as I like to call her Mrs Clever) and her team, organised marquee’s, to house the 100 odd artisans expected this weekend on the grounds at the very beautiful UWA
….late breaking news reveals that UWA has come to the ‘market party’ and fixed the windows in Winthrop Hall in time for this Sunday!!!
Other great news
- its the same day and venue (different area) as the Perth Sun Fair ( a renewable energy and sustainable living fair)…which I’m very excited about
- there are play areas for kids; including Storks Corner Store (story readers and craft activities)
- eco peko’s cardboard courtyard (we have a comp going on..)
- Phil from Unfurl will be the DJ crooner & teaching his juggling skills
- and 30 free bags of artisian goodness to pick up .
it gets better…ecopeko & Upmarket only specials….
Because of our year long unison and synergy with Upmarket, eco peko would like to offer these specials for the March 28th market
- the first 3 customers who buy 2 tees, will receive a free set of eco table and chairs (value $49.95)
- the first 3 customers to buy 1 tee, will receive a free, eco rockin cradle (value $ 15.00)
- order’s for super sturdy cubbies or castles are only $39.95 (on the day) excluding shipping.
- pre-ordered cubbies & castles for pick up that day are $39.95 (no shipping…must be pre-ordered through either info@ecopeko.com or 0448 218 135)
……….these cubbies and castles are the best on the market (confirmed by European design book ‘Cardboard Design’) , are made from recycled card and made in Perth..I have done lots of testing with my own 5yr and 3yr old children (Big hit at Levi’s (5) birthday) and are currently retailing for $49.95 (not including shipping), the discount offer is only for this weekends Perth Upmarket.
But wait there’s more!!!!!!!!……….every ecopeko sale at upmarket will receive free organic veggie seeds (and garden patch chatter..if you are keen..we love talking veggies)
It really is the biggest one yet!

Thanks Henry and Michelle xx

I had an amazing experience at the end of the shows…by being a part of Spencer’s artwork. I wasn’t going to blog about it, because I thought it not ‘eco peko clothing’…but in reflection, realized, it so is…
I was lucky enough to share a liberating experience with 5000 other people…though very cold, over time we all developed a tribe, under the careful instruction of Spencer. I noted people well over and under the 60 mark, and over and under the 60kg mark. Amazing tattoo’s and body shapes..with no judgement and plenty of comradeship…I didn’t take any photo’s, but googled this…if you ever have the opportunity, be a part of art.xxxxx
Life In style
4 March, 2010
What an amazing 4 days at Sydney’s Life Instyle last week!!! We were surrounded by some great exhibiters Miss Haidee with her vintage one off’s made by Nanna’s in Byron Bay, Aunty Ollie with her wonderful retro wear, Jazslings the practical one piece sling (no rings..I love it) and the very lovely Mally from Grasshopper a beautifully hand knitted range of baby wear by some amazing women in Zimbabwe.
Other wonderful products I saw were from Princess Ratbag (the most luxurious pettiskirts ever), with there new apricot / musk skirts (can’t say it enough…amazing) and as always clever, clever Jetti Spaghetti with lamps, chopsticks and blackboard placemats .
We had a busy time, what with all the trade shows happening at the same time, George Michael playing near the grounds and the Mardi Gras Parade on the Saturday, there was lots of colour and movement!
Surrounded by cardboard yet again, I wore my Mady Dooijes hemp/organic cotton dress (dyed with tea…very cool, check this designer out and talked eco peko until I was peko’ed right out…..
Thank you, thank you to my very talented sister for all her help…..until next year…bye, bye Instyle and…. hello Upmarket
