Just Imagine: The New Art of Repurposing

Aside

 

Just imagine...

  The increasingly popular Art of Repurposing is simply the idea of imagining an old or used item for a new purpose. It may be for a practical purpose or a highly creative one such as an object of art.   At Ruby Road Resale, we have seen many items that people have bought for the purpose of repurposing and explaining to us what new idea they would use the item for. We found that inspiring in many ways and wanted to see what you, the reader, thought about this subject. Even better, we would like to hear from you about an item you may have repurposed and please add a photo if possible! It would be great to show our blog readers & Facebook fans your awesome “repurposing” idea and we might even choose to “pin” it to our Ruby Road Resale Pinterest boards! All exciting fun for you, our creative customers and followers! So get your email written, a photo added and send it to Treasures@rubyroadresale.com . We can’t wait to see the great ideas you have IMAGINED!

In the meantime, take a look at a few photos that we thought were wonderfully repurposed items…and JUST IMAGINE!

YOU know what YOU want!

  Are YOU just plain tired of being told what to buy and why YOU might need such an item? Every day we are blitzed by advertising from a variety of stores and businesses telling us why we need their products or services. While this is all well and good, we’ve simply grown accustomed to this approach through time.

 

'Madam, you absolutely need this item!"

 

 

We at Ruby Road Resale, Vendor Mall & Thrift Store feel it is time for a breakthrough to this type of thinking and offer to you the simple statement, “YOU know what YOU want.”YOU know what item you may be looking for, from an inspired idea or just a practical need.
 WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU get the item you are looking for! Our 5,000 sq.ft. store has over 40, individual vendors, plus our thrift store where items have low, low prices to meet your budget. If you don’t find what YOU are looking for here, our helpful staff is always happy to direct YOU to other places that may have what YOU want!

In the meantime, check out some of a variety of items our store has to offer, be inspired with ideas because we know, “YOU know what YOU want!”.

 

Shall We Tiptoe Through The Tulips?

 Warmer weather and gardening are synonymous thoughts as we anticipate Spring’s arrival after a long, cold winter. We walk outside during the month of April and hear the birds chirping and see the trees budding. Everything is becoming renewed! We are inspired with these scenes to meet the rigors of gardening & yard work. So how do we get from Point A – the hard labor, to Point B – enjoying the fruit of our labor, ( or as we have called it: Tiptoeing through the Tulips) !

We at Ruby Road Resale, Vendor Mall & Thrift Store have some great items to help with your outdoor work and also some wonderful items to add a new flare to your yard or garden. Pictured below are some items that may interest you in your gardening endeavors!

Romancing the Hardwood

Antique Accent Table

   Have you ever been browsing at a thrift store, flea market or yard sale and have come across a piece of old furniture that captures your eye, but you hesitated to purchase it because of the restoration that it would entail? Oftentimes, keeping it in its shabby condition can be a plus, depending upon your decor, but if you want to restore it, where do you begin?  With the internet you may find so many different resources to help and then end up being discouraged with the time that it involves. Take heart!  For a beginner, finding the simplest methods appears to be the way to begin or for more difficult projects, finding a business that does restoration at a reasonable price.  For the simple projects, we have found a link that might be helpful to you and encourage you in “romancing the hardwood”!  http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/home/how-to-refinish-furniture.htm

IS IT SOUP YET?

 We “Ruby Roadies” were talking about our own collections of broken jewelry pieces, gems and such, that end up in the bottom of our jewelry boxes. What do we do with them? Every so often we clean out the jewelry box and toss away the “one-er” earrings or loose, costume gem-stones.  What we were looking for was a unique way of recycling them.

 Well…one day, one of the “Roadies” was looking at a vendor booth with crafting items in the Vendor Mall area of our store and noticed a plethora of MUSLIN HENS sitting on one shelf.                                                                                                                                                   She said, “What if I take one hen, throw it into the pot, mix in some broken, jewelry gems and opaque-fabric pens for juicy color?” After adding some heat with the glue gun, she waited for it to simmer. Her Ruby Road colleagues were clamoring, “Is it soup yet?” She said, “Indeed, it is!” Offering up to them this delightful, recycling recipe.Recycled Chicken Soup
