I've been "thrifting" and collecting unusual items at jumble sales since childhood and enjoy reworking and embellishing clothes, jewelry and accessories. I have a childs joy and curiosity about the world and wish to share my upcycled redos with other likeminded folks out there.

Colorful Flower Fairies to brighten the day
Flower fairies are always fun and I especially enjoy the pocket variety. I first saw them years ago from Sally Mavor and bought one of her kits. She makes little felt clothes for hers and paints the faces on as well and they are stunning! My version is more in the Waldorf style. The faces are blank...for more imagining :) and I weave the embroidery floss on the entire "body" of the pipe cleaner to create the clothing, then add the flowers and hair and acorn cap! The resulting fairy is about 4 inches and bendable. They can be posed repeatedly and placed just about anywhere.
"Stained Glass Bottles"
To add some color to my summertime table in upcycle style...
I grabbed some of my clear glass bottles and tore up some tissue paper and voila! Some summertime color
