I have had to make due with what I have many times and it has helped me see things differently. Anything that can be recycled does help the environment.Becky Pancakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683182644887296641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660155811591000071.post-91178634070674183112014-02-22T11:41:21.038-06:002014-02-22T11:41:21.038-06:00What a lovely collection of colours you've cho...What a lovely collection of colours you've chosen for this week. I love the blues and greens, they are so cooling and remind me of summer. The thrift store find is great - I envy people who can pick up something and see something totally different in it - it's a great skill to have and of course recycling - or is it upcycling? - is great for the environment!Diana Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475927836717719695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660155811591000071.post-35869269128271787872014-02-22T09:56:00.232-06:002014-02-22T09:56:00.232-06:00I don't look for beads at thrift stores as the...I don't look for beads at thrift stores as they seldom have just beads.

That is why the project is still laying on my bead board. I am a regular at thrift stores, and I usually look at their jewelry first to see what I can turn into something else.
