since i post about the projects i make with or inspired by recycled or reused materials, i figured i'd give a shout out to my local recycling depot!! they are so awesome. they run a "zero waste reuse store" that i have scored some ridiculously amazing items at. cookie cutters and rolling pins for a quarter, an antique underwood typewriter (!!!) for a buck, brand new camping gear, vintage plates and pudding cups to make cake stands out of, vinyl records, sheet music, etc.... most people walk up and think these shipping containers are filled with junk. they are. but if you know what to look for, you just might find a diamond in the rough. if you don't think there is one near you, look harder.
in the town next to us, there is one at the dump that i have seriously salvaged insane pieces of furniture at and even seen people walk away with le creuset pieces and brand new juicers before. hello. sounding like a hoarder here....i'm not. just giving a shout out to treasure finding! carry on.
