If you don’t live in Austin, encourage your local library branch or system to create something similar! Not only can you socialize if you want, but you can get a new-to-you puzzle and rehome puzzles you no longer use! Win-win! A lot of people have puzzles laying around. They either intended to do them and…
If you support something with color, don’t forget to layer. I had a school field trip (red) on the same day as a Thursday in Black, and it was cold. I chose to layer shirts, but I could have also used my Thursdays in Black button or scarf to have my black on. Thursdays in…

Kirby Hall School had a great time at Austin Creative Reuse this morning for a field trip. The kids learned about the store and it’s diversion goal, volunteered to sort pencils by temperature: warm, cool and neutral, did a scavenger hunt, and got to tour the space as well as shop! Many parent drivers were…
I swap out books on my vintage brass napkin holders as the season or holiday comes up. Here we’re going from Halloween to Fall. I love the idea of using these vintage napkin or letter holders for this. I got the idea years ago from maybe an influencer using an IKEA product? I’m not sure…
