From Trash Bin to Treasure

I was passing by the dumpster in our 

condo community one day when something 

caught my eye. Among the remnants of 

someones discarded faded belongings 

was this little beauty just begging for 

a new life! 

It was a sturdy heavy real wood 

small book case. 

Just right for my studio makeover! 

Bring on the paint!! 

 Here it is! 

My new shipping department! 

(it was a hot mess before) 

Twine, string, ribbon, return address 

labels in a collection of fav containers.  

A favorite Longaberger basket for 

strings, twine & ribbon.  

A sweet footed black & tan planter to 

hold what-nots found at a yard sale 

for $5. It was love at first sight!  

This handsome black container was 
given to me by a friend and holds 
some "thank you" gifts for my 
customers.  

A big Paris shopping bag holds my 

stash of boxes and bubble wraps.  

 My Mom's favorite Neiman-Marcus box,

that once held a holiday bottle of perfume,

has now found a home on my recovered 

bookcase. I love the little buckled strap 
that closes it.

So there you have it. 

What have you taken from trash to 

treasure of late? We'd love to hear 
what you've given new life to. 

Thank you for stopping by! 
We LOVE to hear from you!!

Next time I'll show you the "sewing 
machine drawer makeover". 

Blessings to all of our dear friends
out there,
