Repurpose, Reuse, Recycle:
Vintage lace buttons and what some might consider just plain "junk" are what inspire me. I love to use old items because they have a patina, a history that adds wisdom to my creations. An old button tells a story, just as a broken piece of jewelry that's tarnished is beautiful in its imperfections. You can't reinvent the wheel, but you can embellish it with lace, buttons and a new coat of paint to give it a whole new look and feel. For instance, there's beauty and art in turning an old necklace into an embellishment for a frame or painting grandma's old dresser so that you can transform it into a TV stand for a flat screen. Keep the old but make it new - remember, one is silver and the other is gold.

I truly love ETSY!!! If you have not gone there yet do your self a favor and go there today. I have had such a wonderful time window shopping and purchasing. You get to see artisans from all over and the true design on the street.
