Prairie Eco-Thrifter

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Mom’s black cape, some makeup and a piece of cardboard cut and painted black to make bats ears can make someone into Dracula. If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later.

Of course there are personal benefits as well – you save money by not buying or by buying used and you save money by not paying sales taxes for a new item. If you want to get fancy, draw, paint or sew buttons on it for eyes. You all know you can make puppets for kids from an old sock. Clothes pins.

Buy a dated, smooth-gliding rocker at a garage sale for next to nothing and customize it with several yards of fabric and a staple gun. Give that set of sturdy, bright orange bookshelves new life with several coats of white paint. The woodwork doesn’t need to match exactly, instead choose pieces based on price and function.
