Old Made New

When I was in Michigan last month, I had the chance to pop into the store where my sister, Jenny, is selling her line of Old Maid New items. Her displays looked so cute! Luckily, I had my camera in my purse, so I took a few photos.


Jenny makes a lot of items from repurposed wool sweaters. Here, you can see her hats and stadium mittens.


And who wouldn't want to wear a woolen headband with a woolen flower?

Jenny also sells soy candles that she has hand-poured into recycled tea tins!


Her line of repurposed clothing has been a big hit!


Today, I decided to make a card using the Old Maid New philosophy. I took bits and pieces from past card experiments that were laying around my craft desk, and put them together to create something new.
