Make Do's and Earth Day

With yesterday being Earth Day it made me think of our ancestors and how they were ahead of their time with their make-do's. They "made do" because they had to. They didn't have anything else.

If you look up "make-do's" you'll spend your entire day just exploring and gathering ideas. 

Here is one I found from a shop that I love called HOME-ology in Berwyn, Pennsylvania

There is an entire board on Pinterest..."Use it up wear it out make it do or do without" . Where there are not only antiques but everyday items that just might inspire you to "make do". 

If you look at some of the items for sale on our site, you'll notice that we reuse the old and make new for you. If you haven't looked at the new offerings for April here is your link Primitive Handmades Mercantile.

We'd love to hear from you and your "make do" greats...post a comment below to share.
