Wood Odds and Ends

 

We took the leftovers from a large craft auction and now we have SO MUCH cut wood materials of all shapes and sizes. We have 4 bins out now with more in the back!  Come in and shop re-use today.  

Got plans for them?  Post what you use wood pieces for on our Facebook page!  

More pictures up on our Facebook page!

Fourth of July

 

Red, White and Blue... and Green?
Fourth of July

Before you know it, it is going to be time for fireworks and BBQs. Consider making your own decorations this year instead of just running to the store! Not only is it more environmentally friendly, it can be a fun activity to do with your friends, family or even by yourself!


Depending on your Fourth of July plans, you can create  a variety of decorations. You can make table decorations, things to hang or decorate your bike, maybe build a float for a neighborhood parade or....share with us what you are going to create!

 

Bring by your old 4th decorations instead of pitching them and shop re-use to help make a difference.  The Fourth of July will be here before you know it!
