Habitat For Humanity ReStore Projects

So mid November after my craft sale, I was hitting the thrift stores looking for more junk to transform when I had the thought to go to the Habitat For Humanity's ReStore.  I hadn't been there lately and it is one of the places I usually find something I can use.  I walked in like I owned the place and the lady said, "I'm sorry we are closed today."  To which I replied, "Isn't today Wednesday?"  "No, it's Tuesday."  Me-"Oh man, I quit my job and I never know what day it is...sorry."  

Well Julia was sweet and told me to go ahead and shop.  I spent time wandering and had a hand full of items ready to pay.  It occurred to me that my house restoration was done and I had some time on my hands so I asked if she had a need of volunteers.  She replied that she needed cashiers.  I kindly said...."Uh...no...let me tell you what I have in mind!"  I proceeded to tell her how I repurpose items that most people deem as useless, or junk, and that I would love to transform items from the store and display them so that others would be inspired to get creative as well.   This post is dedicated to the things I have created thus far.  I hope it will inspire you to see objects in new ways, to be creative and reuse the things that would otherwise end up in a junk pile or dump.  Enjoy, and GET PICKIN!
