Recycled things we love



This is one of the coolest recycled bird houses I've ever seen. Found it on Etsy, it's by Old Crow Farm. We have tons of birds in the spring in the garden. This would be perfect. See it here on Etsy.



Found this great way to recycle wooden boxes on one of our favorite blogs Apartment Therapy. A great way to use found objects. See the full story here.

Oh just stop it...



So you're talking to your brother on the phone and you're trying to convince him that taking a pay cut right now IS a good idea... at least he still has a job. He should have become a pharmacist but he opted to become a big time financials guy on Wall Street instead. Don't fight about it on the phone, just send him a card... he'll get the picture.

Besides, at $3.00 a card, could be the best little piece of encouragement you can buy for your little brother.
