I've been crafty since forever and my dear old granny is to thank for planting the seeds of creativity in me. During the day I'm a digital marketing specialist who works with music magazines, record labels and musicians (from latin-jazz to 60s twee); and in my free time I love to visit my favourite thrift shops and most importantly - CREATE!
Mostly you'll find wearable bottlecap art here at the dustbin but from time to time I'll post the odd felted purse or knitted robot. Much of the ephemera and broken jewelry you'll see in my creations comes from the Paws and Claws thrift store in Orangeville. I volunteer my time there every Monday morning and they graciously allow me to keep the "junk jewlery" that would otherwise end up in the garbage. So, when you buy from the dustbin, you're also supporting the OSPCA, albeit in a roundabout way.
::: Some of my listings close with a lyric - guess it and get it right and I'll send you a bonus gift with purchase... yeah, I know you can just 'google' it, that's okay, it's still fun! :::
