Happy bEARTHday!

Recycling takes a whole new meaning especially here in San Francisco. You have no choice. And as much as I complain about it, I secretly enjoy it. It's like giving objects a make-over except they're not humans and you don't have a TV show. Here's an exemple: An empty bottle of balsamic vinegar (see photo), buttons, applying several coats of Mod Podge - wasn't that a show in the 60's - The Mod Podge? - a beautiful newspaper illustration of...wait for it...Shakespeare, and Voilà! 2nd Debut! Collecting old bottles, plastic jars, microwavable dishes, buttons, newspaper clippings, paper bags, it all works and nothing goes to waste. They make great little gifts on a great little budget. So in honor of Earth Day, this has been my contribution. By the by, Trader Joe's (my best friend!) has great packaging. Very colorful, artistic, fun shapes so hang on to those!
