About smcmahan
In 2005, I had been working for the local YMCA and living on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi for two years and excited about the prospect of buying my first home there. Unfortunately, hurricane Katrina swept away all of my hopes for that dream. I had never heard of climate change before, but after a lot of grief (for myself, friends and family), I determined to become as eco-friendly as possible and incorporate more and more old materials into my work so they won't go into the land fills. Right now, I live one mile north of Jackson, our state's capitol and always trying to find authentic vintage materials to buy locally first and online second. I believe this will help me keep in line with my mission to be as eco-friendly as possible! View all posts by smcmahan
