Re-creating loved items into a Re-purposed life...

I love old stuff! Rescuing something off the curb that was on it's way to spending eternity in a landfill and giving it a Re-birth into something for your eye to behold! Well, hopefully!!

Visions of inspiration...

You never know what will inspire you to do or say something.  Recently I walked into a church basement that doubles as a thrift store on Wednesdays.  Picked up some heart molds for 50 cents.  I have had idea after idea of what to do.  I knew I would not cook with them!  Sad, but true. 
So far, I have started using one as a body with measuring spoons for arms.  Looking forward to seeing how things have dried and settled. 

I look at what I toss in the trash or recycling bin and wonder if I am loosing a valuable recourse for a project.  Odd, I know.  The idea of this stuff ending up in a landfill to just build up and up is disturbing to me. 

So this inspiration has led me to look into lowering my over all waste!  We have done a good job at reducing our trash and increasing our recycling.  Now onto reducing both. 

So far, we no longer buy seltzer in bottles.  We purchased an Penguin.  Love it!!  Never out of seltzer again.  Need to get the beer fridge fixed and get that tap line flowing again! 
I know those bottles, caps and boxes are all recyclable, but wouldn't it be nice to reduce the stress  on our backs to the curb?
