Well it is a gorgeous Earth Day here today........hope you are enjoying great weather where you are! I got to thinking about Earth Day, and all the things we do, like recycling our garbage, using green products to clean our home, etc. Well sometimes I forget to recycle, and I have been known to grab a bottle of uneco friendly cleaner here and there. But the one thing I am really good at is repurposing...........and every prim and cottage style decorater that I know is fabulous at that, and they recieve my kudos today. I am often just stunned at the trasnformations that I see on blogs and websites, of repurposed items, headed for landfills. I am a faithful Goodwill treasure seeker, love garage sales, and because of that I hope I am doing my part for saving the earth for my grandchildren, and future greatgrandchildren. Plus it is fun!!!!!! I did get a chance to hit the goodwill last week, but haven't gotten around to getting pics yet........but hopefully I will have a few to show you next week.
I have been busy this week filling spring orders, but I did get a moment to go to my treasure closet and find this old recipe box. The design by Donna Atkins I felt was perfect for it. Very prim, very basic, but love how it turned out.
Isn't this the cutest pillow! My friend Donna, who is a very talented seamstress, stitcher, and painter, made this as a surprise for me! I just love the verse, and she said she thought of my grandchildren when she stitched it.
