Reimagining flea market and yard sale finds.
It’s not about what it is - it’s about what it can become.

With a new add-on of making things with bits of foraged nature.
Antique domino with beads and other jewelry bits.

Oil lamp parts made into Christmas wreaths with acorn embellishments. Each one has a “jingle bell acorn” included. The lamp part is called a “fitter” and is intended to hold the glass shade.

Santa brought in Max, Emmett, and Darla to help out in his workshop. Will they take over the elves’ jobs? Will the elves be able to find new employment? Only time will tell.

Sign our petition to the FDA to set strict limits on lead in protein powders here: action.consumerreports.org/sm-20251014-...

Our recent tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found high lead levels, and right now there are no federal limits on how much lead can be in protein powders.

Nutheads in a Knothole
One sunny afternoon, Albus decided to relax and brush up on plant lore. He settled into the hammock, propped a book on his chest, and began to scan the pages for useful information. Somewhere between “propagating spores” and “harvesting fiddleheads,” he drifted off to sleep.

Stacked button ornaments. I spent the better part of the day sorting through my button stash to find the right colors and sizes. It seems like using roughly 140 buttons would put a dent in the collection, but no.

Some little mushroom house scenes to set on your window sill. Bonus points if you can spot the blurry frog sitting on a rock in the background.
