Today on #TreasureHuntTuesday I found storage. Found a square rolling cart with a large central cavity and lots of pockets that fits all my bookbinding supplies so I can wheel it out of my studio until I need it. Also found three plastic sets of drawers for $4 US each: perfect for out-of-sight basement storage. I also found a set of shelves to hold machines I rarely use until I need them. This freed up space I can use for everyday purposes in my studio. #reuse #repurpose #thrift

An exciting first day at the #iDR26 meeting in Brussels on drug #repurposing.
Academics, company representatives, funders, policy makers, patients and others, all gathered to discuss how to help #repurpose #medicines for the many #diseases still with unmet medical needs, including #vascular #anomalies.

I also found a folding bookcase, something I've been searching for for a while. One of the brackets to hold a shelf up was missing, with a screw in its place. In my mixed hardware bin I found a similar bracket normally used for mounting curtain rods. I cut a piece off the bracket to make it more suitable for this new purpose and it works a treat. Now the bookcase is renewed and sturdy. #reuse #renew #repurpose #vintage

Found an extremely poorly reupholstered little bench for $2.10. I only care about it's bones because I plan to cover it with leather. Perfect for putting on and taking off boots by the front door. :) #reuse #repurpose #recycle #LeathetCraft

Oh, and you see those ribbons that neatly tie the rolls closed? They are repurposed from the wrapping around the blankets I bought. I cut each ribbon in half and had enough to do all of them. #Reuse #Repurpose ♻️

For #TreasureHuntTuesday I found this tall canvas duffle for $1.50. I use these types of bags to store rolls of leather and knew just how to fix it's broken handle. #reuse #recycle #repurpose

I used to keep my cutting dies in the second drawer of this little tool chest but the drawers don't open all the way, the dies get mixed up and it's often hard to find the die I am looking for. I found this drawer at a charity shop for 75 cents. It's designed to hold Keurig cups but works perfectly for my dies. I can finally see and easily retrieve all my dies #reuse #repurpose #recycle #LeatherCraft #maker

Today on #TreasureHuntTuesday I found a projector screen for $3.75 so I can view my Roku projector anywhere on my deck and a woven rattan chest with a broken leather latch for $4.80. Now I need to find someone to fix the leather latch. ;) #reuse #repurpose #recycle

What began as a St. Paul car dealership in the 1920s is being demolished for a new six-story development — but not before its useful parts are rescued for reuse. For weeks, salvagers, nonprofits and bargain hunters have picked over the building and still, it’s full of treasures. Especially for an entrepreneur about to open a small restaurant. https://www.startribune.com/meet-the-salvagers-saving-a-piece-of-grand-avenue-history-from-the-landfill/601663506?utm_source=gift

#ToySwaps and the #CircularToyEconomy: How to Raise Waste-Free Kids
Ash Gregg, July 24, 2025
"Kids outgrow toys fast — sometimes faster than we can recycle the packaging. What starts as a sweet moment of play often ends up as clutter, then waste.
Behind those bright colors and fun shapes lies a hidden environmental truth: the toy industry is one of the most wasteful in the world. Most toys are made of plastic. Few are designed to last. And almost none are built with end-of-life reuse in mind.
But there’s a better way — and it doesn’t mean denying kids joy or imagination. In fact, it can inspire more of both.
Welcome to the circular toy economy: a movement built on #sharing, #reusing, #fixing, and reimagining play. It’s not just good for the planet — it’s good for your home, your budget, and your children’s values."

How to Recycle Old Electric Appliances and Devices: Creative Tips
by Kim, September 2, 2024
"The junk drawer in the kitchen. The forgotten cupboard in the garage. Or even that cluttered space under the bed. Most of us have some nook or cranny stuffed with old electric appliances and devices. The average UK household is believed to contain at least 20 unused gadgets. We’ve all got them—outdated phones, a blender that no longer blends, or a laptop that’s long since passed its prime. But what should we do with these unwanted electronic items? Simply chucking them into the bin is not the answer. Let’s explore creative and responsible ways to recycle and repurpose old electronics."

Another banner #TreasureHuntTuesday. A few things I got were new (bread slicer, yet another cocktail smoker, a cold brew coffee maker) but also found some good Pyrex, metal pans that fit my air fryer, quirky coffee mugs and some nice glassware. I'll probably make a leather case for the smoker and offer it at my next crafts fair. #reuse #repurpose #thrift

Another activity I like to do on snowy days is take an egg carton, tear off the edges & top, rip these into tiny pieces & fill the cups with those pieces. Then I melt some wax on the wood stove and pour it in the cups to soak through the torn pieces. After this cools, I tear apart the cups and use them as fire starters. I do this over freezer paper so any wax that soaks through can be peeled off when solid and used next time. #recycle #reuse #repurpose #FireStarter #WoodStove #FirePlace #FirePit

I’d go straight for replacing the LED for a red one. Find one with same/similar power and exchange them in place.Soldering is not as challenging as it may sound and it’s a super useful skill to acquire. So many things can be fixed with the touch of a hot iron. 😁

I added a lower shelf to my traveling work bench. It will be handy for stashing other elements of what I'm working on or my traveling tool box or anything. I'm constantly trying to find ways to improve it without sacrificing it's travelability. In addition to bringing it to shows I'd like to be able to help at repair cafes. #leather #maker #craftsman #repair #repurpose

What do #Nest owners think about #Google's decision to not only kill support, but also make the smart thermostats into dumb thermostats?
Is it fair for them to take away the features you paid for?
Will you get another smart #thermostat from the same company again?
Are you in the market for alternative #smart #thermostats?

#BirthdayWork #Fathers #Sons #Stonewalls #Steps #Repurpose #Reuse
My son did this work for me today, for my birthday last month. The stairs are repurposed from my sisters house.
The stones were our walkway for over 30 years, and came from my dad's farm when he was clearing stone walls to enlarge his fields. The crushed stone was leftover from my son's friends project for HIS father.
Good, solid work and our backs are aching tonight...I only need a few bags of pea stones to fill in, and I have dozens of smaller stones to set, if I want. (I can lift THOSE myself!)
No more stepping though mud/water halfway along the walkway.

Literally thinking outside the box today.
For no good reason I kept this annoying crate which isn't big enough for beer bottles. I just realised how good it is for storing all the shit that "is too good to go cause it might come handy one day".

To #repurpose an old #Kindle e-ink e-reader you would usually require it's root password.
This tool is a single web page that uses #javascript (running locally) to compute the root password for your device from it's serial number (located on the device's settings page). There is also a link to the original #Python script that this tool is derived from.
One example of how they can be repurposed:

How to Turn an “#EconomicBlackout” Into an All-Out War on #CorporatePower
Friday’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The #degrowth movement calls for a broader societal shift.Jonah Valdez, February 28 2025
Excerpt: "Rooted in the work of American and European political theorists of the 1970s, the 'degrowth' movement criticizes a #capitalist system that seeks unending growth and profit, which has led to #ecological and #environmental ruin such as the impacts of #ClimateChange.
"Instead, it advocates for a system that prioritizes the needs of the #planet and its people, such as #housing, #education, and #healthcare. According to Jason Hickel, a leading advocate of degrowth and author of 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World,' the movement calls for reducing consumption and production of things that harm the planet such #FossilFuels, #SUVs, #PrivateJets, #mansions, #FastFashion, #IndustrialBeef, #CruiseShips, and the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.
"While the term may be unfamiliar to many Americans, its core ideas have cropped up in the Green New Deal’s goals of a post-fossil fuel economy; the pandemic-era phenomenon of white-collar workers voluntarily quitting their jobs and working less; and the recent social media trend of '#NoBuy,' which encouraged people to purchase less and #repurpose more.
"'People are getting a sense that they’re ripped off, that they’re being taken advantage of and exploited as consumers,' said Aaron Vansintjan, co-author of 'The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.' 'It is promising that people are responding to the current moment by showing their distrust of these corporations.'
"The boycott has drawn wide–ranging media coverage, along with the attention of some celebrities. It also caught the attention of #LindaSarsour, a progressive activist best known for organizing the 2017 #WomensMarch after #Trump’s first election.
"'It is an easy risk-free way to invite masses of people to act in reaction to the outrageousness of this Administration,' Sarsour told The Intercept in an email."

I found these decorative abominations on clearance this weekend for $3.99 each. Cloches can be pricey so I hope to tear these apart and use them to host my felted creatures. Will have to handle gingerly so as not break the glass. I like that they have lighting and are rechargeable. If successful, these will make lovely displays. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #maker #repurpose
