RECYCLE REDUCE REPURPOSE REUSEBY: AntiquesGaloreGal(origional post on AntiquesGaloreGal blog)Vintage lovers always say collecting is recycling and it's going "green". Of course that is true, but to me collecting is somthing I do because I love time worn treasures. Some items however, no matter how much loved, are not useable for their original purpose. They may be too fragile or too rusty. That's when it's time to
repurpose the item. Not change it, that would be upcycling, just find a unique use for it.
While looking through my etsy
Vintage Market Team shops, I came across these photographs from
TeaAthomeWithOlivia. They are prefect examples of how a vintage item can become useful in a new way.
This ladle has become a flower pot. Imagine how a row of differen sizes would look!
That same ladle could be used for candles!

This funnel has been converted to a vase.
