Tuesday's Treasuries: Dancing Bears, Blushing Brides and Gypsy Masquerades!

Summer is (unofficially) here! And with it warm moonlit nights, summer walks, barefoot dancing and nervous brides. Romance is in the air, floating with the butterflies and fireflies~ and imaginary mythical creatures made of clouds! Who can resist this time of year when the gloom of winter makes way for the warmth of the sun?

These treasuries curated by members of Upcyclers will cast summer's spell on even the darkest of spirits!

Love 2 DIY on the Weekend: 30 Days~ 30 Things!

Magdalena Akantisz and Lisa Schulz, students of the University of Applied Arts of Vienna, devised a brilliant plan for an upcycling project~ 30 Days, 30 Things. Their intentions were to "design beautiful and useful things for 30 days in a row", but promised to extend the project further if others contribute as well. They are now on Day 36, and since we Love 2 Upcycle~ we hope the project continues long into the future!

Here are just a few "Days":

















And the latest entry~ Day 36:



Would you like to collaborate with these innovative, upcycling students? Contribute a project to keep the "Days" coming~ And help the planet at the same time!

Love 2 DIY on the Weekend: Gardening~ Upcycled Style!

An Upcycled Herb Garden... Anywhere

This is my favorite time of the year!  If I could be in the garden all day, I would be.  I've added two flower gardens to my yard, decked out the patio and have quite the vegetable garden growing in the field behind the house.  There's not a lot of room left to do much more, but I found a way and thought I'd share it with readers.   Yep, that's it over there on the left side of the page.  I love how rustic it looks and that I can put it anywhere.


Head over to Upcycled Stuff  to see how to do this project yourself!







Be sure to check out Upcyclers member, Upcycled Stuff on Etsy, too, where she turns yesterday's trash into tomorrow's upcycled treasures; unique one of a kind jewelry, art and accessories that are all environmentally friendly! Upcycled Stuff will donate 10% of all shop sales to the Jane Goodall Institute for their continued work to conserve chimpanzees and their habitat.

Tuesday's Treasuries: Reused- Recycled- Repurposed- OH MY!

This week's featured treasuries are kicked off with a FAB~ulous collection by FabTabulous! She hit a homerun with this one~ over 600 views!





Watchings found inspiration in the Elements! It was elementary, my dear Watchings!





JHRCorrea didn't know that a chimera (pronounced ki-mare-ah) is "a fanciful mental illusion or fabrication"--did you? That's what all of these beautiful wares in combination are to her...fanciful fabrications from the crazy-creative minds of your fellow teammates and Etsians.



Thanks, Everyone, for showing some Love 2 Upcyclers in your amazing Treasury curations this week! Be sure to check our Treasuries Page~ It's just like going window shopping! But instead of all the walking~ Everything is just a few clicks away!
