I found a seam ripper! Austin Creative Reuse had a seam ripper! I broke mine trying to remove handles from luggage. They also had all three colors of thread I wanted for mending. I walked around and looked at everything for ideas for Easter basket egg filler and basket filler. I will use the ribbon…
Sharing is caring! I don’t purchase items for my videos or posts. It either comes into my spheres naturally or I will ask my neighbors or my Buy Nothing group to get something that I’m getting questions about or dealing with. I have gotten rid of a lot of things over the years and so…
Today I mailed Valentine’s to my extended family. Valentine cards don’t have to be the mass manufactured holiday-specific cards stores sell. You can invoke the same feeling with the color scheme of love, or make it even more personal by finding a card or gift that exemplifies a love of the person you are sending…
I was in charge of our class’ pinata for the 100th Day of School. Most of the Party City’s are going out of business and we have one near our house, which is where I actually like to get things for school so that will be sad. While getting the pinata and contents, I saw…
I’m sharing my fall seasonal Indigenous Box. I gotta share before my winter box arrives today! I like to support small businesses particularly those that are BIPOC/HUB/SMBR (I’m a purchaser/contract administrator by profession). This box came with an assortment of indigenous/native products curated by a small indigenous company in Canada. It’s a great way to…
My son was so excited to find these baskets for me! Wash your baskets, especially ones that are new to you and are from second hand or thrift stores. Even from other people you know. Just wash things that are new to you to clear out dust, animal dander, etc. This is the super dark…
Don’t hide what sparks joy for you! I’m going to do a little Marie Kondo today. I fell in love with this butterfly hair clip my son picked out from @okasanvintage. It’s too pretty to keep in a drawer when not in use so I actually keep her on my towel rack until I need…
$5.52 for all this at Austin Creative Reuse. Vs. $22.79 from Target So $5.52 vs $22.79 to get the exact same thing which you can’t because Target doesn’t have the small legal pads in the same quantity. Everything from Austin Creative Reuse is pre-owned and by purchasing these items you keep them out of the…
Save your milk tabs and rubber bands! Austin Creative Reuse is accepting these items for reuse at the counter. This is so great because the tabs are too tiny to catch in recycling even with bailing and most grocery stores don’t collect rubber bands from the products they sell. #reuse#creativereuse#milk#milktabs#rubberbands#repurpose#upcycle#alittlemoregreen#lesslandfill#broccoli#carrots#asparagus#crafts#zerowaste#austintx
This was my Austin Creative Reuse (ACR) haul on July 30. I had a list for Vacation Bible School (pictured below) and then my son and I needed a few things. My favorite find was a purple G2 pen. G2s are my favorite pen from when I was a contract administrator and I still use…
