Jewelry from Re-purposed Office Supplies!
Back to school isn't just about buying supplies for the kids...
With school starting again, school supplies are in demand. For those leftover supplies from last year, or from your office at work, or from our vast stock of used, what-to-do with-them pencils, what CAN be done with them? Instead of throwing them away, find a way for re-use! There are so many great ideas out there for how to reuse office supplies and making really neat jewelry. Here are a few items and ideas to get you thinking:

And, Where ARE We Exactly??
A little hard to find but worth it...
The address is 24-28 East Springfield in Champaign, IL in a very small strip mall right next to the railroad tracks. (see the train in the picture?) We have a front entrance in the corner of the mall where there is a flight of stairs to climb. Or, you can come around the back - it looks like this picture, and come in here! There is handicap accessible parking here and fewer stairs. There is also a loading dock here in the back! There is parking in the front, on the side of the building, in the back of the building and on the street!
Take a look at the link to see a map and more pictures! See you!

So, What's This All About?
The Champaign Urbana Schools Foundation saw a need in the community to accomplish several things: 1. Support the arts and arts education, 2. Support environmental education in our communities, 3. Impact the environment by reducing the rate of waste disposal, 4. create a place for everyone to have access to quality materials and 5. Support itself in light of the difficult economic times. So donate your discards and shop re-use. Its about making a difference!
