Inspire Me!!

Another weekend adventure with Jamie, brought us to this delightful store. The name is re-inspiration, located in West Midtown, Atlanta. I adore that the owners decided to use lower case "r" in the name. The building that houses, the jewels, must have been a auto repair place, or gas station, the walls speak volumes. The temperature in the hull of this building was, Hot, Satin's mistress HOT, but easy to overlook. On the store postcard, it reads, a fusion of recycling, art and affordability. You have to admit that , fusion, is the word of choice. We looked and touched, and would have licked items, if allowed.
Brooke Schultz, talked to us at every corner, she knew we were, her people!!! I guess we may have been loud, the oooohh's and aaaahhhhh's and LOOK AT THIS!!!! On several occasions, I felt tears well-up in my eyes. Clever, creative people, inspire me. I feel very alive, when I witness art in the making. Two of the things that , stopped me in my tracks, were recycled eyeglass lenses, made into jewelry and Hand mirrors, that nearly stopped my heart. I can not explain these items, you need to see them. A handbag, or was it a pillow? made out of Spanish memory/matching game pieces. A scarf made out of the long sleeves of old t-shirts, and a quilt out of pieces of sweaters. I purchased stationary made out of old maps, and tacks made with vintage buttons, that looked like perfect pink nail polish!!!Yummy colors. I loved the rugs on the floor, the old dressers that displayed some of the items, and everything!!!! They also have classes, and the ideas were flowing.
We left with re-inspiration, about art, recycling, and ourselves. A tad overstimulated, just what a Saturday with my friend is all about. www.reinspirationstore.com
