Nutheads in a Knothole One sunny afternoon, Albus decided to relax and brush up on plant lore. He settled into the hammock, propped a book on his chest, and began to scan the pages for useful information. Somewhere between “propagating spores” and “harvesting fiddleheads,” he drifted off to sleep.

Stacked button ornaments. I spent the better part of the day sorting through my button stash to find the right colors and sizes. It seems like using roughly 140 buttons would put a dent in the collection, but no. #repurposed #upcycled #christmasdecoration #christmasornament

A big batch of itty bitty lanterns made from buttons and marbles. #repurposed #miniature #ornaments

Cast iron wheel suspended between wooden furniture parts. The vintage tree pictures have been gently applied so that they can be easily replaced with your choice of pictures. The space below has enough room for a small trinket box. #repurposed #industrial #fidget

It’ll be Halloween before you know it. 💀👻🎃 I got this baby doll from some little girls at a yard sale. This is how I’m using the legs. The arms and head are in the queue for more projects. #repurposed #halloweendecorations #creepy

Craft fair coming up at the Griswold Fish and Game Club. I found this vintage button on eBay and made it into a plaque using turkey and pheasant feathers, a tuft of rabbit fur, and a fishing fly donated by my neighbor (who is also a former member of the club). I think someone there will want it.

Just another Thermos lunchbox birdhouse. This one needed a lot of rust remediation. #repurposed
