The Best Sort of Recycling



It's easy to appreciate the sort of recycling that's doesn't require something to be sent back to a plant to be processed. The sort of recycling when someone actually remakes or reuses something that they own or have access to.

My sister-in-law
Liz featured a great example yesterday. A talented girl named Mari remakes big, old tees into something new and beautiful. Fantastic, right?

Well, now my husband's old tshirts are in danger of being upcycled. The hawaiian shirt already went bye bye to make a dress for my two year old. I love this kind of thing!

My 15-year-old daughter will wee wee in her pants when she sees those creations! And she's so talented that I know she could do them!

That is fabulous! I would love to resurrect some of my dreadful oversized 80's clothing just to see what could possibly come of it!
