One of the most rewarding experiences can be to transform something that appeared to be useless or broken into something useful and beautiful. That old pair of worn out jeans now a trendy cross boy bag or a wall hanging with pockets. That discarded cutlery & whisk now stylish windchimes on your front porch. Upcyling is more than turning trash into treasure. It can be a life credo, an attitude, a philosophy, a meditation. To create wealth with what is dealt. Make lemonade with those lemons. Find win win situations and accept the challenge to get to know the nature of what is in front of you and then use your imagination to transform it with your own personal style and make it useful and joyful for those around you.
