Have an Eco-Friendly Halloween...

Halloween evokes images of ghosts, goblins, and witches. The smell of fall leaves and the brisk night air on your face. Eco- shopping is on the tip of everyone's lips these days. How about a green Halloween this year? Here are a few tips to help you do just that:

• Make your own costume from recycled material
• Trick or Treat with a Chico Bag, then use it for grocery shopping
  
• Give out trinkets instead of candy

Drawn in black india ink on a white leather pump, this pair features trees reaching up from the base of the heel and the branches wrapping down around onto the toe.

Village Find: Giddyspinster

Check out this Clear Succulent Planter made from an exotic dancer's recycled platform stiletto! Recycling at it's best.

This is a size six repurposed stiletto heel. It used to belong to an exotic dancer friend of mine (thanks Jamison!) I removed the top of the shoe, sanded it, drilled holes for drainage, and then planted it with a purple-tinged succulent (an echeveria hybrid) with a tiny thorn at the tip of each "petal".

The succulent plant will need very bright light and just a little water from time to time. In return, it'll repay you with a stark reminder of how hard it is to...well, to be a woman.
