You all probably know by now we are big fans of Upcycling, reusing and recycling......
Thursday Theme is all about transformation of something old into something new and like all Thursday Theme Blogs I will be showing wares from small home business.
Here is a great way of recycling!
The above image is by a small business and appropriatley named Upcycle, Recycle, Make Do, Mend.
They have fabulous range of products that were once un-loved/un-used and unpractical items then reignited with a little love and care they are transformed into beautiful products worth displaying for all to see. Just check out her drift wood collection. The wood is appropriately dried, treated and waxed ready for safe use within the home.
