Today's "This and That..." starts off with the exciting launch of Julianne Smith's environmentally friendly, green wedding garters. Juilanne's new mini-collection includes 4 mix and match wedding garters that are actually made from recycled plastic bottles. They consist of eco-friendly grosgrain ribbon which is woven using yarn made from 100% post consumer polyester (made from recycled plastic bottles). And, Julianne says the environmentally friendly grosgrain ribbon is even softer than regular types of grosgrain ribbon.
