Reuse is using an item more than once. Reuse can have financial and environmental benefits, either of which can be the main motivation for it.

* Reuse with style. Instead of buying new furniture and accessories, look for vintage pieces or those made from recycled materials.

Here is another way of reusing, a glass jar can be use as storage and organizer (buttons, coins, clips, screws and more.

You can look for unique ways of gifts made from upcycled materials. Like this whistle $14 on etsy.com and feel the satisfaction of supporting handmade.

Green Tips :D

Being organized not only means that you have de-cluttered all the unnecessary objects in your home, but that you are efficiently and cost-effectively utilizing the ones you do want and need. Being green means keeping an eye on waste and consumption. Keeping consumption down is good for the mind, body and house!

1. BE FREE FROM JUNK MAIL. Get rid of your junk mail and unwanted catalogs and stop killing trees by signing up with GREENDIMES.com.

2. GIFT GIVING: Give an experience rather than stuff. A gift certificate for a massage, facial, restaurant, or theater. Donate to a charity in the person's name. Spend quality time with that person. The memory lasts longer than any "thing."

3. REGIFT. Make a gift area for things that you receive and don't like but know they will be appreciated and loved by someone else.

Bululu's Favorite sellers ...Loran Scruggs

I found this amazing artist who works using recycled tin cans to make fun and colorful toys, her name is Loran Scruggs.

I finally meet her...well on video at least...I've been a fan of her for more than a year now, I admire her work.





From Loran profiles "I'm a metal girl, I have a large stash of bottle caps and tins cans organized in my little shop. I spend all spare moments there starting and finishing every piece.

I collect bottle caps and tin from local restaurants, friends and interested neighbors. Some decorative tins are purchased from second hand stores.

The whistle were along time in the idea bank. Years ago I was inspired by Bobby Hansons book "Working with Tin" where he shows how to make a whistle out of two pieces of tin. I increased the tin size and added bottle caps and they are."
