The Christmas Tree’s New Clothes
It was to be a very straight forward, one time blog entry: I would scour Etsy for recycled, salvaged, upcycled holiday ornaments and write about my favorites. Easy peasy.
Except that there were oodles of results pages in a “recycled ornaments” search. Except that I’m a complete perfectionist and couldn’t NOT look at every page. Excect that there were just too many pretty ornaments and interesting ideas. And so, dearest readers, you get recycled, salvaged, upcycled holiday ornaments every day until Christmas, organized by the material with which they are made.
And today, the tree must put on some clothes! Merry merry, I think there are some fun ideas in here.
