Thrifty Thursday~ Upcycled Home Decor

NY City Love Photo by Pixamatic

 Happy Valentine's Day!
We hope all of you have a wonderful Valentine's Day! 
Love is in the air and Spring is on the way!


I'll bet many of you are idly daydreaming of Springtime! Aside from being the season of love, it's also when we freshen up the home and get rid of the winter doldrums!

And it's a great time to go thrift store shopping for some "new" accessories for the home. The next time you walk by something you think is useless, think about these Etsy items from our team we are featuring today. It's always amazing what some of our Upcyclers can do with typical thrift shop finds~ Cast off's and junk are turned into unique and clever works of art, home decor and housewares!

Check out these eco-friendly, fun and functional finds for this Spring...

ENJOY YOUR LOVED ONES TODAY!

Sustainable Sundays: Upcycled Love


Hello Sunday! In theme with this week's Valentine's Day holiday, here are seven upcycled creations with love in mind.  The best part... even though red and pink are popular choices this time of year, all these upcycled creations are perfect for every day!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We sure do love it 
when you upcycle too!









And even the pets need some love too!

Enjoy your week,

Surely you've seen fellow upcyclers turning discarded silverware into beautiful works of art.  I so much admire people with this kind of talent:

Fork Cocktail Spear by LaughingFrogStudio

Vintage Spoon Bracelet by Very Creative Creation
I, too, like to create with silverware and am so excited to show you how I make my pendants!  In a recent blog post I showed readers how to make this little lovely:

I hope you'll join me for a step by step tutorial (complete with a video for each step) to making your very own I {Heart} Trash pendant.
