A Little Sunshine from ArtTales & TubbyTabby

reduce, reuse, recycle

I know you know this but… buying handmade is so fulfilling. I confess, I forget. I get sucked into the allure of filling the big red cart. This week I found these gifts… $20 and under. I’m changing my ways.

This little guy [a nice surprise for the host of your next party] is made by ArtTales. It is stuffed with recycled plastic bags.

For your more conservative hostess, how about this lovely pendant by TubbyTabby. It is upcycled “from a wooden American Brick from the 40’s. These were toys for kids.”

Something about this tossed me to the 80’s- in a very good way. It’s on sale now!

And yes, I’m guilty because I forget that fact, too.
Thanks for sharing those lovely gifts!
