Trash or treasure?
It’s all in the eye of the beholder! And to this Etsy shop, what might be trash to you is treasure to them. Salvage and Re-Design creates unique items using old or unwanted jewelry and other items.
Check out this brooch, for example. I love how bright and colorful it is! And, it’s made completely from recycled board books, collage paper, wire and wooden bead. What a great conversation start this piece would be if you were wearing it!
And this notebook, well, it’s not just any notebook! The cover is all embroidered and the inside is
filled with different kinds of papers and textures. You could use this as a journal or art journal or even a mini scrapbook. What a great gift this would make for a crafty person in your life!
I’ve marked Salvage and Re-Design as a favorite shop. I can’t wait to come back and visit to see what they come up with next!

I already ate yet I’m still starving. I’m craving massive amounts of junk food and I can’t help it. I like to bake but I just don’t have much time anymore now that I’m working again. I barely have time to breathe let alone eat. Thankfully I have Etsy to browse in my spare time. [...]

A girl can never have too much perfume but when it comes to scented oils this girl has tons. I have samples, full bottles, half bottles, you name the scent I probably have it (or at the very least something similiar). My problem is, I don’t like putting perfume oil on. I heard about these [...]

…in perfect harmony! The first thing that came to my mind when I stumbled across this amazing handmade find was this old jingle once used in Coca-Cola commercials. It made me a little nostalgic and homesick as I sit here thinking about one of my good friends back in Chicagoland who has a whole cozy [...]
