What have you repurposed?
Mar. 13th, 2009 01:07 amAs I unwrap things from my life, finding new places for them in the new apartment, I find myself holding a tiny (maybe 3" across) round saucer with etched dragonflies all over the bottom side of the saucer. When my parents contracted their living, and the three floor house became a one-story place, a lot of things my parents possessed left with my sisters and me. We alternated choosing first, and one of my choices was a small stack of these (I think 6, but I've only unwrapped 4 so far).
My sis the middle kid looked at me and said: "What will you use those for?"
"To set by places to hold individual tea bags," was my reply.
Mom looked pleased. "Those were individual ashtrays to put at each seat at the dining table."
They may be a tad small for teabags, but I enjoy using them that way. What have you found, in family or out, that has a new life with you -- a life far from its original use?
