More HOLIDAY REUSABLES links and photos!!

Leanne Italie's HOLIDAY'S RESUABLE article was picked up by several news papers around the country...this one is from ABC News http://www.abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=6518455
========================


We reuse our vintage tin/canister collection from year to year...
as well as pretty ribbons and vintage brooches as above...


...here are two tins stacked atop each other...found seperately...
they hold tee-shirts for Rosie...I roll the gifts in tissue papers before placing the gifts in tins...
this makes it more fun to open...and we often reuse the tissue paper from year to year ...simply store inside the tins themselves...

another Angel Gift reminds us to ..."Follow Your Bliss"...a la Joseph Campbell...
The two tins on either side of the angel are vintage while the floral box behind it is...
a tiny shoe box made from a pair of Rosie's baby shoes...I covered it with wrapping paper from one of Katie's birthday presents using Mod Podge (tm) and snippets of ribbon...inside is shredded tissue paper... it holds a bottle of perfume....

These gifts are actually Rosie's birthday presents (which is right before Christmas)...

There is still more to come on this topic...
as well as on our frugalluxuries blog (click on ....Rosie's birthday...above to link to it.
