Photo drop from Austin Creative Reuse today! They take so much stuff! Some of the things I’m working on rehoming for someone right now include quilts, lace, tablecloths, doilies and other crocheted material, greeting cards and stationery and probably a major office clean out. They take it all! Austin Creative Reuse #creativereuse #regome #downsizing #declutter…
I’m loving baskets for carrying library books out of the library, I to the house and upstairs where we do most of our reading. The Austin Public Library #publiclibrary#bookhaul#librarybooks#books#baskets
I was hoping someone would love this guy the way I did but no takers on Buy Nothing. I fell in love with this stuffed chicken at first sight on an Instagram post for a local country primitive store. It was handmade and the cutest thing! Now I’m not really much of a chicken person.…
This is not an ad or sponsorship. I ordered this for my son years ago in response to mail or email I received. “The baby book, reimagined.” I loved the line on this for my son. We have tons of photos and videos, but how do you capture the cute things he says or some…
🫳Buy Nothing Success: Dry Balls. These were never a big game changer for me so they just sat in the laundry room cabinet for 8 years. So I offered them up and someone was excited to give them a try for free! They are supposed to help with fluffing and they’re 100% wool but not…

Lets go over some rehoming options and ways to think about magazine subscriptions. TIP: Remove the address label/personal information by either peeling it off, cutting it off, or permanent markering…
Pipsqueaks are great for preschool kids learning to write. The shorter length is easier for them to learn proper grip and control. Check with your neighbors if they may either need yours, or if you want some from your neighbors. Our school supplies get sent home every year and these are what my son was…
Recycle Window Screens if you can’t repair them. There are repair kits for screens at hardware stores you can get if you have a small spot or a few. My screen was busted so I recycled the thing. If it’s difficult for you to repair or have time to repair, ask around if a neighbor…
Water for wildlife, especially pollinators! Reuse wine corks or bottle lids for floats in your birdbath and a birdbath can be a bowl or plate on some kind of stand, it doesn’t have to be officially a birdbath. Rethink items. This way bugs can float and not slip/ drown. Thinkery, the Austin children’s museum, DOES…
Plastic Coolers can’t recycled so please take care of them, donate or share them if you aren’t using them, and keep them maintained and in use. NOTE on the Featured Image: The exterior crack does not affect the cooling aspect of the example cooler so we still use this cooler. TIP: I do not recommend…
