We have a fan!
Posted January 08, 2010
Well our friends at Folksy, who we've been helping with their marketing strategy and building a brand neighbourhood for themselves, have.
Just before Christmas we teamed up with Sue Ryder to create a competition for the Folksy community, encouraging them to have an Upcycle Christmas. Sue Ryder allowed participants to do a small supermarket sweep around their store and with their spoils make something we could auction on the charity's behalf on eBay. It was fantastic, the cyber-crafters of Folksy got right behind it, as did our judges and we made some money for an extremely worthy cause.

Oh and Linda Barker, bought three things from the auction and wants to know if we've trademarked the phrase "upcycle".
