Reimagining flea market and yard sale finds.
It’s not about what it is - it’s about what it can become.

With a new add-on of making things with bits of foraged nature.
Birchbark air plant holder with two openings. Birchbark is very durable, and I can often find limbs or trunks that are intact with the inner wood rotted away, while the bark remains in good condition. Embellishments are made from acorn caps and moss.

Farmer Robbie KS4500 stalled while doing some work in the soybean field and nobody was able to bring him back online. It’s been six years and there doesn’t seem to be anyone to replace him either.

Bountiful buds on the native rhododendrons in the nearby sanctuary hold the promise of a beautiful blooming next year.

Snowy diorama in an old candle lantern. LED lighting provides a soft glow.

In 2025, Spotify was more like steaming garbage than streaming giant.

They betrayed musicians with AI slop and ran ads to promote ICE. Will you join me in my new years resolution to boycott Spotify in 2026? There are so many better options out there.

Added a few more acornaments and put some ears on them. Elf trio!

Acorn elves don’t live at the North Pole. Oak trees won’t grow there. The hair is made from milkweed silk. I guess you could call this a Christmas acornament. Am I the first person to think of that?

Oil lamp parts made into Christmas wreaths with acorn embellishments. Each one has a “jingle bell acorn” included. The lamp part is called a “fitter” and is intended to hold the glass shade.

Santa brought in Max, Emmett, and Darla to help out in his workshop. Will they take over the elves’ jobs? Will the elves be able to find new employment? Only time will tell.
