Freecycling rocks
Rachel is a freecycler (not a freegan) which means that she loves to give stuff to other freecyclers and get stuff in return from them. They even have a freecycler website big meetings where they all go to give stuff away. This is a fantastic idea that started in Arazona with the idea to divert reusable good from landfills.
Today she took a load of our old books up to a freecycle meeting in an afluent area of London called Hampstead. There were some really amazing ‘gifts’ being freecycled like coffee machines. Against all odd she managed to beat all of the other freecyclers to this stunning piece of art that not lives above our dining room table.
We are planning to take it back to Sydney with us so it can hang on the wall of her “yoga room”.

NASTY MAN!! LOL
Ok, firstly its not my taste either but we live in a communal house and the all the colors match the room very well. Never fear Australia, don’t barrel down the hatches, its not coming back with us. It was FREE, not a penny did I pay and i thought I was helping as I attended a freecycling event in London, its all about give and take for free - it was the best of a bad bunch of art truth be told.
Despite this the freecylcing event recycled 3 tons of stuff dodged the dump and instead I dumped it at home!! lol. Regardless of what you think of the painting, its a worthwhile cause.. AND IT MATCHES!! what do men know about co-ordination anyway ;)
