What an honor...
for my Toodlefetties Etsy Shop to be included in the Etsy team
Upcyclers Meet & Greet on the team blog today!
About the Upcyclers Team straight from their Etsy page.
Upcyclers are artisans who repurpose existing materials or post consumer waste to create fashion, art or products with a new value, purpose or aesthetic appeal, thereby reducing the consumption of raw materials, energy and resources that must be conserved for the environmental health of the planet.
And here are a few of the vintage Toodlefetties items that were included...
This is a great team of people that are concerned about the health of our earth and you can find a wide variety of goodies made out of things that could be headed for the landfill or worse, just dumped somewhere and left to pollute the environment.
So why not create new, useful, artistic beautiful things is what I ask?
To quote Donna at Funky Junk Interiors...
"But you see, the moral of my story in creating unique things is to invent new ways of doing things. Because if I invent, I grow."
Just giver her button in my sidebar a click and pay her a visit, she is an amazing
example of creating a beautiful home by repurposing.
As for me...
being thrifty is just a part of life, and I love the history behind old forgotten items and wonder what stories could be behind them. Using those items in some other way is just one way of preserving them and keeping them from becoming waste.
Thank you Valerie and Team Upcyclers for the spotlight, I appreciate being included and enjoy being a part of a team of such amazing artisans and collectors.
Do you enjoy collecting vintage items or reinventing them into something else? Please share...
Have a great day!
