How was your weekend?  Wonderful, I hope.  And speaking of wonderful,

I have some wonderful repurposing ideas to share with you today.

Yup, it was a globe stand in a previous life.

What can you do with all of those old

wrist watches you've been saving?

Maybe it's time to make a new clock
out of old watch and clock parts.

A telephone line wire spool top is the base for this huge

wall clock.  (Where did they find face hands that big?!)

What band director wouldn't love to have

one of these clocks in their class room?

I truly believe that you can make a clock

out of just about anything.

The little hour and minute hands are adorable.

Need a quirky side table?

Consider using an old, scuffed up
step ladder or a vintage suitcase.

A homeowner upped the bird feeder cool factor.

This rustic mailbox is now a unique towel holder.
Are those are old railroad nails being used as pegs?

You know how you find hand crocheted doilies at

thrift shops and wonder what to do with them?

Teaching Literacy

And, lastly, old tennis balls are ideal housing for Harvest Mice:

Le Petit Poulailler

Conservationists in Gloucestershire, England, set out old balls to
make homes for the little darlings in hopes of boosting their
population at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre.  Love!

Did any of today's repurposing ideas inspire you to try upcycling
every day items in your home?  I hope so and I hope you'll join
me here tomorrow for an Earth Day salute.
