Recycle, reuse, repurpose

We’ve visited a few recycling and charity shops recently. Always a good little opportunity to find a piece of treasure that someone has discarded. Sometimes you can find wonderful little gems that others have missed, but if not, there are always things that catch your eye.

I didn’t get too much this week, but I do love the large oval plate I found in recyclorient. I will use the little hand painted glass carafe and jug as vases during the summer months. The reel of white silk ribbon was a real bargain, just €1.50! I know I will use it for something soon. I also couldn’t resist the glass stoppers, to add to my collection, even though I think I may now have collected enough of them, and I’m not sure any more will fit in my display.

In all though, a good little haul.
