Upcycled is such an unglamorous word! Someone invent a better one. . .go!

I’m not sure how I feel about this right now. I’m working on adding some adorable sweaters to the store… something to throw over a vintage slip when the evening turns cooler. The ETA on these is still really fuzzy. Partly because I’m working on them between sewing new Liberty pillows and filling existing orders. Also because I’m still feeling myself out on the concept. But I have this sweater hanging on the hutch door, and I walk past it all day—so, I’m getting there.  Some ideas just take longer to evolve. You have to fiddle and tinker and nudge the creative process along.  Right? 

But really, don’t you think there has be a more romantic alternative to the word “upcycled”? Any suggestions?
