Recycling Day

Recycling Day published on

I’m still trying to pump out the handmade inventory in time for the holidays. Can’t even upload it to the online stores because I don’t have enough stuff to fill my space at the Gifted show this weekend. I’m having great fun playing with all of the salvage and junk I’ve been collecting over the years.

My second child. The first one was a very crude screened in baby. This one has class. She’s in an old clock case. I love the eyes!

Non functional diorama in an antique sewing machine drawer. No, that wasn’t by Barbie, but that is a photo of me and I think that was my mom’s camera. It’s hard to distinguish what I grew up with and what I picked up at garage sales.

What Christmas tree would be complete without an Obama ornament? I was lucky that a bulb blew out this morning. I made other ornaments but I used new glass balls. I like them better, but they’re not recycled. I’ll have to find some ugly used ones to cover.

Someone put this chair back out on the curb thinking it was useless. It’s now a lovely coat rack.

And speaking of racks, here’s another use for Barbie. She’s a decorative topper on a hook thingy made from an old yard stick. The stick is too delicate for coats. Dog leashes? Hats?

We all know about Etsy and how fabulous it is. But are there any other online venues in which to buy and sell handmade goods? Your intrepid reporter found out.

Artfest looks like an older, not-so-hip site. I’m not sure how current the listings are as the blog hasn’t been updated since 2007.

En Dawanda is Europe’s answer to Etsy. Even the software is similar. Watch out! They have some very nice stuff.

Electronic Cottage may look a bit outdated, but the site is easily navigated and they have some cool vendors.

Lov.li is an easy-to-shop worldwide site.

Mintd looks like a shop for hip young thangs who have some great stuff to offer.

I discovered most of these from an old post on Read Write Web.
