We reclaim items that might otherwise be thrown out but are still useful and up-cycle.  We also comb through brush piles,  natural locations tainted by human debris I not only take what can be reclaimed but pick up the messes  left by others.     It is a spiritual healing for both myself and the places I can leave better than when I found them. All items are thoroughly cleaned before used in projects. I comb free piles, old broken Items that have useable fabric and wood.  I work with fabric, leather, and textile item (i.e. tiles, bricks, rocks, found items).  Tim (my partner of  almost 20yrs) works with wood to make walking sticks,  boxes, pet cages, decorative items, and furniture items.  Making these items from found and reclaimed items is a way to continue our deep dedication to reusable and sustainable materials.  to make donations to help in my community are not just limited to blankets, hats, gloves, and planters. it is also shown in the purchasing of items that cannot be reclaimed I shop at local small stores to help keep my main street alive. Many of our tools will be purchased used(when possible) so that we can also contribute to local tool repair businesses.
