Ellen loves to sell everything vintage - - from jewelry to household items.  Are you a crafter? You'll find a great assortment of vintage fabrics and crafting supplies. Ellen says, "I truly cannot stand to see usable items go in the trash. I regularly comb through curbside offerings."


When time allows, Ellen also makes one of a kind handmade bags and upcycled jewelry. She says, "I also try to repurpose fabric in my tote bags. I am using old tablecloths, dish cloths and upholstery samples."

Kristen's shop is full of "recycled randomness." Having a great appreciation for paper, she has a wonderful assortment of recycled and upcycled cards, some that even "pop up" when you unfold them. She is only in her 20's and loves to create, share and promote upcycling of goods that would otherwise be discarded!
