If you are like me and LOVE to cut stuff up can you think of a better costume than Edward Scissorhands? Over at Oriental Trading Company they have what they call a Miss Scissorhands costume and I just had to give it a test drive before Halloween. I had never worn a wig so I got a bit of help putting it on and styling it. I had a lot of fun in this costume and I am looking forward to wearing it for Halloween. Since it’s stretch fabric and all one piece it was easy to get into. I slipped it on before we put the wig on. The scissor gloves are fun to play with. The leggings I had already cut up-imagine that? 🙂 What are you working on for your Halloween costume?

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find
Let’s talk about a quiet little hero in the kitchen: the humble trivet. But not just any trivet — this set of 4 recycled plastic square trivets is a modern, minimalist dream made from 100% recycled household plastic. Yep, the same plastic that might’ve ended up in landfill is now protecting your benchtops in style. That’s a win.
I have to admit, I get a little thrill when practical things are also eco-friendly and just plain good-looking. These remind me of the ones I picked up at a zero-waste store in Melbourne — sleek, colorful, and almost too pretty to put a hot pot on. Almost.
Each one is handcrafted in small batches, with flecks of color that tell the story of what it used to be — lids, containers, maybe even your old shampoo bottle. It’s like modern terrazzo meets sustainable design. Perfect for gifting to a housewarming host or just treating your own kitchen to something that feels good and does good
Why we’re obsessed:
Made entirely from recycled household plastics
Each piece is uniquely speckled and full of character
A perfect match for eco-conscious kitchens, minimalist decor, and zero-waste living
Small item, big impact. And every time you set down your coffee pot or casserole dish, you’ll get that sweet little “I did something good today” feeling.
I really haven’t made up my mind yet. Maybe The Queen of Hearts from Through the Looking Glass.
