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…
I found this little guy, who is an octopus, tucked away in the closet. The tentacles blow in the A/C or the fan so I had put him away as the rustling was irritating me. I’m a little sensitive to certain repetitive sounds. My son is fortunately over him and while he’s cute, but we…
My son has been literally counting down the days to today’s Sakurajima update to Palworld! We even made a trek to Bricks & Minifigs in Austin to get pinks and whites so he could make a pink Chillet to match the blue Chillet he made. Now we each have one for the three of us!…
I tend to keep all those ribbons, elastics, strings and such that come from gifts and may come in handy. Now, that can get to be a bit much so I do cull it out when my sewing box gets too full, but generally I have several types. My son made two of the energy…
