I have mentioned in passing my penchant for anything, altered, used, second hand or recycled.

I don’t want to sound cliche but it’s true, it seems only like yesterday when I wrote my first post. I feel like princess for a day, a Paper Bead Princess no less wearing a tiara made out of olive shape paper beads, wire and crystals. We had a little tea party today with Kayla C. and [...]
