yeah! Creative Reuse centers got a mention on Oprah recently... how encouraging:

| image: Oprah.com I love hunting down these amazing places online and we make a point to visit any nearby centers when we're traveling. In fact, on our recent trip to Los Angeles we took an afternoon out to head south and visit the Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse. It's run by the very inspiring and energetic Lisa Hernandez, who is overflowing with great ideas not only about creative reuse, but about building community, supporting small businesses, and stimulating local entrepreneurship. Lisa has even reached out to the First Family, sending the Obamas gifts made from recycled materials. We left smiling ear-to-ear and feeling so energized! If you are in the LA area, I highly recommend a visit to this tiny shop with a huge heart.  Just one more thing: Lancaster Creative Reuse in Pennsylvania has done an amazing job compiling an exhaustive list of creative reuse centers, which is posted to their website here. You can peek at their shop at http://www.lancastercreativereuse.org/. Take a browse through their list, and if you are lucky enough to live near one of the shops, go check it out!  Have a great weekend! |

Thanks for the shoutout to Lancaster Creative Reuse! We tried to post the link to the Centers Directory on the Oprah page but it's not up yet, so it's nice to know there are others directing people to it. It'd be such a shame to live somewhere and not realize there's a center close-by! Love, Lancaster Creative Reuse
