Auntie Kate The Resale Expert

Using “old clothes” in a new way is, of course, great fun for consignment and resale shopkeepers and shoppers. Some inspiration here at Inhabitat.com and the links she provides….

LOVE the “Upcycling” angle. How would you use this in your shop?

(While you’re clicking on Inhabitat’s links, don’t miss From Somewhere. Click “about” and watch the movie…MORE great inspiration for a resale shop commercial, ESPECIALLY the end with the coat. In case you can’t tell, both my father and grandfather were art directors for ad agencies!)

How about all the ugly sweaters you’ll soon be facing? Upcycle them into something new.

Upcycling’s not just for grownups anymore: Droll over this blog entry if you’re sweet on babies.

And it’s even for boats. This place does exist, I been there!

(Nifty handbag from jackandmarjorie.com . If it ever comes in your store as recycled upcycled recycled, call me collect!)
