In Fix It, Make It, Grow It, Bake It: The D.Y.I. Guide to the Good Life by Billee Sharp, this D.I.Y. guide to the good life, readers learn how to edit their lives, since in the long run, less is more — pedal now or paddle later! The best things in life are free — or very nearly free — and author Billee Sharp shares her freecycling, budget-savvy, barter-better wisdom. Based on a sensible foundation of global responsibility and foresight for the next seven generations, Billee Sharp’s philosophy is compelling. From the radical common sense introduction to the practical how-tos and yummy recipes, The Free (Or Nearly Free) Guide to Happiness is a step-by-step handbook to revolutionizing spending habits and reclaiming quality of life in the process. Learn how to start a community garden and to seed share, raise organic veggies in the front lawn, eco-clean the house with lemons and lavender, cure minor maladies from the kitchen cabinet, organize a trade-for-what-you-want free flea market, and cook meals for pennies.
Billee Sharp styled herself a career as a contemporary art curator and gallerist, working with Damien Hirst and other art world notables. In 1993, she started both a family and record label with Scotsman Jonah Sharp, a pioneering electronic musician.
