I used a small glass dish from the thrift store and some copper pipe from the hardware store to create a garden votive candle holder.

These boots were made for walkin' but that's not what they'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna hang right of off you! They'll hang off of your ears that is, if you're the lucky buyer.
On a thrifting venture, not so long ago, in a land, not so far away, I found a bunch of Barbie shoes, boots, and accessories. These items inspired my line of repurposed Barbie items.
These boots measure about 1 and 3/8 inches tall, are a shade of pink I refer to as "Barbie pink", and offer a touch of childhood nostalgia, a touch of fashion, and a ton of fun! With the ear wires added, the earrings are just over 2 inches long.
I use silver-plated ear wires to make these earrings.
Since these items came from the thrift previously used, they may have some wear and some do show their age a bit in places. In my opinion, the slight aging adds to their charm and uniqueness.
Each of these are made by hand so even two pairs made from the same style of shoes or boots are unique.
These are intended for adults only and are not intended for children.

Really nice repurposed TV as a vertical planter ! Love the rusty look and the choosen plants.
The full length mirror in back of the tufted bench is actually an old French door that I painted black and had mirror put in place of the glass. And the best part was that it was free from a garage sale in Austin - the lady holding the sale just didn't want to have to haul off. So basically the cost of the paint which was about $3.94 amd the mirror was around $50.
Take one thrifted skirt, one thrifted bedsheet, one vintage hankie, 2 vintage valances and voila! you have "The Bomb", an apron made from 95% upcycled goods!
This striking building was the First Baptist Church of Rhinebeck, NY, 1825. It is now a farm-to-table restaurant.

Was fun to see these super cute Barn Swallows nesting in some cable wire on the back porch of the owners of Songbird Meadows in Johnson City, TX this weekend. I got to see them fledge too - the owners had left so they missed it. :)
I'm not using the metal lathe, so I took it off the bench and moved my wood lathe over. Biggest benefit is this bench is a good 6" lower, the other one was far too high. I put paper down the front to protect the underdrive transmission from wood shavings.

My favorite choker; made from a repurposed necktie that was rescued from a life of drudgery in a thrift store.
At Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists have developed a custom-built machine that can grow special lenses, one atomic layer at a time. The machine is as long as an entire room, and scientists use a reprogrammed Xbox controller to direct a transport car through the vacuum-sealed chamber (pictured). The transport car collects plasma-borne particles that form the lenses that will eventually be used to focus high-intensity x-ray beams to reveal the details of nano material structures.
