Upcycled Christmas ornaments for sale
Ashleigh Wells sells her upcycled vintage Christmas ornaments and decor for the first time at the annual craft sale held last weekend at Inuksuk High School. She stocked up on her supplies from thrift stores in the south and worked with garlands, bells, glitter and a glue gun to turn cute animal-shaped vintage salt and pepper shakers, toy deer and mid-century makeup compacts into holiday scenes and decor.

This is so awesome Ashleigh!
Every year I reduce the amount of decorations I need and give the rest away. This year, I’m not using store bought Christmas wrap as they end up at the land fill. Several gifts I’ve given are put in used gift bags or no wrapping at all and that’s how we did it as kids. There is too too much garbage thrown out every Christmas and I can just imagine the number of packaging that will go in the land fill as will. I’m certainly not Bah! Humbug! I love this time of the year but, I love it more when it’s spent time with people I love and cherish. Merry Christmas to all!
