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…
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…
Do you have a pile of read magazines? Do you have a subscription you’ve had for years? What do you do with your old magazines? 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…
I’ve had two sets of coins from other countries to rehome this month, a few from Canada that I after-the-fact recalled were from my in-laws and a few from Africa for a neighbor of mine that isn’t online. Both went very quickly and had several interests. I have no plans to go to these countries…
I’m posted candles in my local Buy Nothing group. I’m helping a neighbor downsize and they had all these candles… Luckily I checked the list at Austin Creative Reuse and they Do Not accept candles. I imagine they get so many because there are a lot of people that end up in this situation. I…
Lotion from home in a glass bottle is going to be greener than a travel tube, any tube, or a pump. I found a small glass jar at the Guadalupe @wheatsville location. There are plastic jars at @naturalgrocers if you want something smaller, and lighter, but they are plastic. My grocery store doesn’t have anything…
The mascara search continues. I can’t find a safe mascara that doesn’t contain palm oil. There are few clean mascaras, even fewer clean ones listed in the Environmental Working Group Cleaning Living app, those aren’t that clean and/or they have plans oil in them which is a major cause of forest destruction. Agh. Help if…
Feel like a spring fairy in my @popfizzcheers Moss Green headband. #greenliving#green#colorcoordinated#shoplocal#shopsmall
Here’s my personal haul from today that included the final gift for my son’s teacher. We are big Mo Willems, and squirrel, fans! Updates from local Birdhouse Books and Gifts : May is Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month New pigeon book: Will the Pigeon Graduate? Mo Williams Squirrel books in English & Spanish…
