The Repurpose Project

I LOVE to thrift shop and I’ve been (I thought) to everyone thrift store in gainesville. I hit a few every weekend just to walk around waiting to find exactly what I want/​need. (I’m patient hehe)
Any who, I wouldn’t consider this a thrift store but still a place to hit up! I love crafts and this has so many things. And what’s cool… You name your own price. ^.^ I found a bunch of great candles, craft pens, fabric, and some old chairs that just needed a little TLC. Most of the stuff is broken pieces or perhaps leftovers. Unwanted stuff that can be turned into something awesome if you want it to and have a little craftiness in ya. ^.^

Awesome place to find «trash» to repurpose. The owner is friendly, helpful and just an all around good guy. Anytime my family is visiting Gainesville, we will be sure to stop by again.

Sometimes it’s all about the name. Items to Repurpose for all your Projects. It’s that simple yet so important.
This recently relocated not for profit business is settling in nice at their new digs. Inside you’ll find all types of used or donated new items such as crafts, patterns, furniture, books, and some furniture. The selections constantly change as more items are donated so you can keep coming back and finding new goodies.
Of most importance is all the reclaimed items outside. Anything made with wood such as windows, doors, shelving, 4×4’s, chairs, etc. are nestled all around the sides of the building. You’ll also find displays so if you’re starting a new business these can come in handy. Actually the idea is to reclaim, repurpose, reuse, reduce, recycle, refurbish. Near to my heart especially is all the wood. These were once gorgeous living trees that would feed the animals and provide shade. When they were killed they took on a new life/​purpose as shelving, paneling, doors or windows. When that purpose was filled they were then donated to The Repurpose Project to yet take on a third life/​purpose that you can fulfill by purchasing them and making them useful again.
Take a chance and do it yourself in lieu cutting down a new tree for your project. You’ll make a great difference.
