Renew!

So, remember the lovely white bag I purchased prior to my Costa Rican adventure? Sadly, my lovely red raincoat liner bled all over it (it WAS the rainforest, after all. There was a bit of rain.). It was ugly. I was resigned to sending it to an early grave until I remembered some of the lessons I learned on my trip. And decided to actually use those lessons. You know, really live the whole "reduce, reuse, recycle" thing?

Figuring I couldn't make it look any worse, I bought some scarlet dye from the Amish store (that's a whole 'nother post for a later date) and for about 50 cents, I turned trash into treasure!

A long weekend coming up (either a snow day tomorrow or MLK Day Monday) so I will be working on repurposing some furniture with a few cans of paint and a lot of imagination. Post to follow soon!

  1. Hey! Good for you, walking the walk! This makes me happy, like I'm seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. ;-)
