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…

The strings were intricately woven into the branches and there were little plastic clips also holding them on. This just made an…
Fake leather book covers are not sustainable. They start to crack, peel and then shed everywhere. Even if you find a Bible cover or a devotional cover to put over it, the flaking still occurs inside the cover and then gets stuck to your cover and then you will have to scrape the flaking from…
As soon as I saw this tub, I wanted it. Not to use it but to rehome it to others who would. I’m helping a client declutter as they downsize to move. This tub was in their garage behind their door. They honestly kept forgetting about it unless we where in the garage looking at…
