Reduce, reuse, recycle are the buzz words of this generation. For us that love vintage this is not a new idea. I got lost in the online catalog of Aurora Mills Architectural Salvage. Only 25 minutes from our fair city, SAM offers a huge variety of items from the spectacular, one-of-a-kind pieces such as bronze elevator doors from New York City to everyday items such as five panel interior doors. Their inventory represents many of the popular architectural eras including California Mission, Arts and Crafts, Victorian, Tudor, Spanish Revival, Queen Ann, Italianate, Eastlake, and Colonial.

Thought I'd share some of the awesome items from their site with you all. Salvage is sweet!

Food for Thought: Eco-Tip - Save Water

If I turn off the faucet for two minutes while I brush my teeth (or while hubby shaves), I can save 4.4 gallons of water--enough to stay hydrated for 12 days. That's six 8-ounce glasses of water each day!



The image displayed above was captured at Bridal Veil Creek in Oregon. It is available to own as a print (various sizes, mat included), or a hand-mounted, blank note card with matching envelope in my Etsy shop. Please visit my shop or contact me direct for more information or to purchase...thanks!
