We visit Toronto's second annual Mend In Public Day, and a clothing swap in Victoria, to hear about the personal and political action afoot to curb emissions from the fashion industry.

I read from devil's darning needle to devolution.     Dragonflies and Damselflies are just long and skinny so obviously one would call them the "Devil's Darning Needle". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly#Dragonflies_in_culture But there's also a plant! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis_virginiana     More info (but not a lot) about devilwood, a kind of olive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartrema_americana     If you want to know more about "Devil's Theory", read this book. Maybe it'll help. https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Devil_Theory_of_War.html?id=3TsHAAAAMAAJ&source=kp_book_description     The word of the episode is "devil's food cake".

Claudia was an old-time radio drama show depicting the joys and challenges faced by newlyweds. The topics discussed include anything that can affect the married couple’s lives. The original stars of the show were Patricia Ryan, who took the role of Claudia, opposite Ryan Kollmar, who played as her husband David. Both characters were created by Rose Franken, a well-known author of newlywed stories in the 1930s. The show was said to be an excellent depiction of a typical American household during those times.---------------------------------------------------------------------------Entertainment Radio Stations Live 24/7 Sherlock Holmes/CBS Radio Mystery Theaterhttps://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441https://live365.com/station/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater-a57491----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time there was a darning needle who thought it was a sewing needle. It was indeed very fine, so fine that one day it broke, but it was not yet over for the needle, nor its dreams.Uitgegeven door SAGA EgmontSpreker(s): Alex Lehman

Season 1: Old Favorite FairytalesA literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson first published in 1845. The story is told from the viewpoint of a snooty darning needle. The darning needle gets lost, finds herself with other trash and she gossips about how conceited the world is without realizing how self-centered she is. Moral of the story: the age old lesson of pride goes before a fall.The Junior Classics is a rescue operation to preserve the wisdom in the Classics before it is lost forever. Our goal is to inspire children with a love of good reading and a real and lasting interest in Western history, literature, and scholarship. My hope is to empower you, the parents, with a resource you can trust to enrich your child’s mind and spirit. We don’t want these stories lost so our children don’t have to learn these lessons on their own.The most important thing you can do for us is to spread the message and tell others about these stories and what we are doing. Subscribe and give us a rating, 5 stars if you think it is worth it.If you want to donate we would love that as well - my promise is that 100% of donations will go to building the impact and quality of the Junior Classics.If you have feedback and thoughts on how we can do things better please send an email to thejuniorclassics@gmail.com.Sir Bradley HasseBe brave, be loyal, and speak the TruthJoin like minded parents in our facebook community.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=8256128)

This month we’re making the best of what we’ve got in both food and fashion. Inspired by a cookbook of recipes from L.M. Montgomery’s kitchen, we’re experimenting with turn-of-the-century skills and talking about all things Anne. In Fashion we’re talking techniques for mending and darning clothes, and how Torey has fared in trying to bring these once-common skills into her own life. Food-wise we’re cooking up a storm from Aunt Maud’s Recipe Book: From the Kitchen of LM Montgomery. We’ve got some hits (mmm, doughnuts) and some misses (…lemon pie is harder than it looks, okay?) but it all makes for good conversation. In Things We're Obsessed With in History, Torey is really looking forward to Jane's Walks in her new city this weekend (May 5-7) and Steph is on-brand and all Anne. She's especially excited about the CBC's new Anne series, streaming online now. If you have not already subscribed to us on iTunes or Google Play, now is the time! And if you would be so kind as to leave us a star rating or review, we'd love the feedback.
