Blog Action Day

Stop buying tons of unnecessary brand new stuff.

Thank you.

In our family we call it ” the old pile of tin” in honor of Grandpa’s garage. Bits and pieces saved from prior projects or discards were available to fix or renew anything, just add a dollop of imagination, and sometimes a little paint.

I LOVE The Story of Stuff! We emailed it to anyone who asked us where we were registered for our wedding last year. 🙂
