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.

Pair of Lamps
These bedside lamps are brushed nickel with a nice ball and chain pull. Problem was, when you pulled the chain to turn it on the light tipped over...no weight in the base! I love weathered stones from Parsons Beach so I used weld bond and made a nice stack at the bottom of each one. No more falling over and they look much nicer! Now they have personality. So does Onyx...meow!

Bucket bag made of men's silk ties
Making this bag required 8 men's ties. I left 2 of the ties long and used a metal buckle slide for the adjustable strap. Inside I placed a hard denim covered 8" disk for a bottom which can be removed to wash the bag, or have it be a soft sack bag. The flap has a hook and eye closure to shut the bag, or just leave it open! Colors of this are blue/gray/maroon/purple but this can be made in any color you like! Available at Mill77 in Amesbury for $35.00 or by email at zantri.designs@gmail.com
