"Going green" and saving energy seems to be the in thing that everybody's talking about these days. There are discussions ranging from solar energy & dual fuel cars, to wind power and growing your own vegetables. But I'd like to suggest that we may be overlooking a very important "green" topic -- Recycling VINTAGE items!
Just think how much fun it is to take trips down memory lane. Whne you buy vintage items, you get to do just that. Plus, you are saving an item from possibly being discarded into our landfills which are already too full. You can also get some great deals when it comes to vintage. There are many different websites to find that unique vintage item. If you're looking for jewelry, aprons, Christmas items, patterns, etc. check out my store at www.tootsystreasures.etsy.com. There are other sellers on Etsy as well that may have just the right thing!
But... vintage shops aren't just for the buyer of pre-made items. The crafter can also shop vintage to find those unique supplies such as recycled buttons, belt buckles, vintage patterns, reclaimed lace, miscellaneous jewery parts and many other things that can be re-worked into wonderful new projects.
So.... why not join the crowd and start buying vintage? Get out there and find that vintage gift for that special person at Christmas. Let's have some fun and improve our planet all at the same time!
