Prairie Godmothers found a new phrase for the old practice of passing clothing and accessories on and out. Instead of 'hand me DOWNs', they've become 'hand me UPs'!
Hand me ups include Prom jewelry (so last year), gently worn clogs or that way cool sweater (with the way cracked button) that just doesn't cut it in a teen or twenty something's closet but works just great in yours! A great way to wear something that was special once upon a time.
How about a 'hand me OVER'? Set up a clothing swap among friends and trade away what you love but don't use or wear anymore. It this world (and this economy), it's all about loving what you have and living with what you've got.
Every HAND ME UP has a story. WHAT'S YOURS?

That beautiful bottle gentian brought to mind an idea for reusing items that might otherwise go to waste. Display colorful, empty bottles on sturdy branches, posts, or garden stakes to add color to the garden during these long winter months. Once the ground is workable, you can also sink them, upside down, to create a colorful border.
