It will be great to have Catherine from WOZWASTE at Ecofest for the first time this year.
Wozwaste has a great range of products custom made from waste reclaimed from landfill, commercial waste and general waste materials.
It’s also fabulous to know that Fair trading principles are used in all their negotiations with local artisians in Indonesia.
Have a peek at their website here to see some of the great products they will be bringing along.
Super pleased to have Alicia of ‘Evie and Liv’ as a stall holder at Ecofest. Alicia is also part of the team organising the event.
Alicia will have soap (handmade, palm oil free) as well as children and adults clothing.
Evie and Liv children’s clothing aims to lessen the carbon footprint of it’s childrenswear by upcycling fabrics and using natural organic fibres, while still having fun with colour and prints.
You can visit Evie and Liv esty store here to have a preview of what you might expect to find at Ecofest on Nov 5.
Frank and Dolly’s will bring their beautiful and timeless style to ecofest again this year.

What’s upcycling?
upcycling is the creative goodness of taking something that has been used before and creating something new and wonderful with it.
a wikipedia definition here
You might find some vintage fabric in an op shop and bring it together with some other materials to make a new skirt, or you may felt a jumper and make gloves, toys or a cape from it!
What’s a softie?
a softie is a soft toy, handmade with love. It could be an owl, a bear, a cat, a monster, an elephant, a bird… any number of things. It is soft and loveable.
What’s the love?
the love is you giving your creative energy to this project
Thanks- we look forward to receiving some upcycled softie love – any questions email ecofest.wh@gmail.com

we’re looking for stall holders – are you keen?
a large part of our ecofest will be our green market. We are hoping to have stall holders locally and from further afield come along and spruik their wares.
we’re asking for people who have products/information that is either – organic, upcycled/recycled/repurposed, made from natural products, fairtrade, or provides a better environmental solution.
have a look at our market conditions pdf (on the pages - both on the sidebar and on a tab at the top of this blog- next to about) to find more about how you can be involved. also find the rego form there and send that through to us to secure your market stall.
most of our market stalls will be indoors – unless you request other wise!
get on board early and get a good spot.
