How can I recycle this? is a UK blog/community built around what to do with bits of soap, old calendars, and broken TVs. The responses are creative and crafty (make the soap bits into dish soap, paper your drawers with old calendars, and the classic fish tank TV) and just my type.

aGaIN NYC Clutch

I saw this clutch at Migrate Home in Encinitas but spent my money on Christmas presents instead. I wish I hadn’t felt so giving, the clutch is great - in person, the colors are beautiful, the construction is sturdy, and the magnetic closure is strong, but not impossibly strong.

aGaIN NYC/Allison Teich, who makes the clutch, is great too. She uses “rescued and repurposed” materials and donates a portion of her profits to charity.
