How to tell the story of an upcycling project in rural France? With puppets of course! Upcycled from the best socks around.

From left: Carotine Salat, Vinaigrette Salat, Le Directeur.

We are Vinaigrette and Carotine. She has always dreamed of being a star, and she has the looks for it. I think she is just the best.

I am so excited that I have been given the opportunity to share with the world this amazing Give-Box project. You can follow me and my co-host all along the way. We will take part in all of the workshops and show you how to upcycle. Turn your trash to treasure!

Our good friends Janosch and Thomas have prepared so many things for us to try:

- Boots for flowers

- Jar lamps

- Paper beads (I will put some in my hair, so keep an eye out for my new look…!)

- Waste paper to treasure-keeping notebooks

- Pimp your dress (this one sounds great to me)

- Sewing kit for the dress-pimpers in your life

and so much more! All kinds of improvised workshops and fun stuff for kids of all ages.

The Director is also having me prepare for the open mic night. I have tried to tell him that I can’t sing. That only Carotine has the vocal cords in the Salat family, but he has his ‘vision’. So let’s see how that goes.

Of course it is not all about me. There will be so many performers along the way. I can’t wait to interview them! We will let you know when the show is ready.
