House clean out for Austin Creative Reuse and Goodwill Central Texas. I did find the keyboard that was lost, and I found a whole bunch of other things. As I’ve mentioned it’s not new stuff. It’s just stuff that I’m seeing with new eyes and ready to move along. A lot of it’s craft and…
This idea is a way to use up gift cards. I used an IKEA gift card for SAFE to get the bedding they need. If you don’t need it use it to help someone who can. It may be more convenient to mail gift cards, check with the place you want to help, who is…
I was able to stretch my sweater! My thrifted new-to-me 100% cotton sweater ended up in the dryer and shrank down to kid size. I washed it again and was able to stretch it out! Success! If I couldn’t fix it, I was going to reduce the arm length down for my son since it…
Check me out at the Triumphant Love Lutheran Church Care of Creation Fair from April 5! This is such a fun earth event and their photographer always does an amazing job. Thanks for having me again! This was my second year to table at the event. I’m labeled as Zero Waste. They set me up…
Thrift haul today: Bring your own bag here too! This is my favorite Goodwill near my house. It’s the Clocktower one. They recently remodeled and it’s even more organized. If you need kids clothes, baskets or women’s workout gear this is your place! 100% cotton black long sleeve shirt for son’s theater performance (all cotton)…
Pair your donations. Make sure to tie shoelaces together on shoes, or rubber band shoes together. For socks, roll them in each other. Bag and label other sets of items. If I took a tag off and I know what the size was, I like to permanent marker the size in the neck or waistband…
$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
Pollinator Day in Mueller! This was the 3rd Annual Pollinator Day which occurs the Friday before Earth Day. This was my second year tabling. I was asked to focus on Planet vs. Plastics, the international Earth Month theme and since I knew that when I made my new board for the Care of Creation Fair,…
Earth Month y’all! Woo! I’m behind on posting content because I was running and driving all over the place for zero waste, school and church. Woo! So one of the coolest things I got to participate in this month was the 2nd Annual Care of Creation Fair at Triumphant Love Lutheran Church (TLLC) on Saturday…
