One of the biggest inspirations for me is re-purposing items for a new use. An item has a purpose, often just one, and I love the challenge of trying to use it again for something else. My favourite material is paper and all it's variations, so a lot of my items here on Brinner are repurposed from salvaged paper.
I also collect unloved items and do my best to give them a new life. The stationary I make is put together using pieces I've found in my treasure hunting missions to second hand shops, closing sales, yard and garage sales. I also list vintage crafting materials I come across, that I won't have time to use.
