Soak up all the ☀️RE’s this SUMMER☀️. REuse, REpair, REpurposing are in high style this season of sun. Shop 30 upcycling artisans and more! Our junky jamboree features artisans who transform reclaimed materials into one-of-a-kind goods. Shop for home goods, art, garden accessories, fashion, body care, stuff you've never seen before… and more. For this special edition, we are stuffing as many RE's into your experience as possible. Thanks to Green Century for sponsoring our activities!
