If it wasn’t for secondhand stores, a lot of things would get lost to time. Imagine not being able to find out-of-print books, vintage clothing, tchotchkes from your grandma’s era - all of it lost to landfills. The same thing is true in creative resuse. Today I’ve got vintage looney tunes cross stitch patterns, plastic canvas stars, someone’s handmade granny squares, and 90’s era buttons and appliques for bedazzling your sweatshirts. It’s not all older items but I love knowing we are saving things for a second chance with you!
