I love to work with antique and vintage items. Sometimes I have to clean them. Other times I have to repair them. I shiny them up with elbow grease and time. I have been known to repurpose an item and reuse in a different way. It’s what I do and it’s fun to me.

I came across this quote today which really struck me. It made me question my own responsibility to humanity. Here it is:

“People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.”

~Audrey Hepburn

Now I’m thinking that’s a higher purpose and wouldn’t it be nice if we could apply this to the people around us and especially those most close to us.
