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."

                                            

Ellen loves to recycle and upcycle.  "My biggest repurpose projects are mosaic jewelry pictures made from old broken jewelry," she explains.
