Blogtoberfest, day 16 - Upcycle and Remix

“Old things are better than new things, because they've got stories in them"

A friend of mine from the Fly Tribe has a really cool and neat Etsy shop which she has named Upcycle and Remix.  Kathleen has great sources for obtaining her wonderful items that she sells in her shop.  The other day, my order arrived that I had placed with her.  The beautiful doily is really made out of plastic and will be wonderful to use as a stencil...

Cut wings from old sheet music and old books...

Old ledger papers, look at the dates and the beautiful handwriting...

Old game cards...

Kathleen was so gracious to include some old stamps and other bits and pieces as a bonus...

Old bingo numbers...

I also got some old tape measures from her.  All of these items make great ephemera for my mixed media and I can hardly wait to put them to good use!
