What's fascinating about these newer upcyclers is that they are, in a way, "upcycling" the concept by more broadly applying it to thoughts and ideas. Thanks for the input on Etsy! Great bit of information to share and I appreciate it! And thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you again.Marcia Stepanekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890455075715762494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962402423742010015.post-84256167719933834062009-02-09T16:30:00.000-05:002009-02-09T16:30:00.000-05:00Thanks for the great post.
