Mindi is an inspiring person. She is a busy mama to 6 kiddos (yes I said 6) and she finds time to make pieces for the home and garden using mainly recycled materials. I read Mindi's post about her "no more crumbs toaster tray" and knew I had to have one! When I received it I was so impressed with the craftsmanship and overall design of the toaster tray. Her work is awesome!
Her stories of how she reuses materials to make her beautiful creations will warm your heart. You can feel her love to create through each and every one of her projects. So it is only fitting that the name of her blog is My Love 2 Create.
I just wish she lived closer so that we could grab a coffee and then I could have her teach me a thing or two!
In this day and age of mass produced goods, it is always wonderful to find artisans who are making conscientious decisions in their work! You can check out Mindi's amazing Etsy shop here
I hope you will find the time to jump on over to her blog and see what she's up to! I have no doubt that you too will be inspired!

Her work does look gorgeous! When I find a shop on Etsy, I generally shop there again and again :-)

What a great friend you are to help promote a friend's shop :) Her work looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love your toaster tray. Lots of lovely things in Mindi's store. Have a great weekend Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteWe have a tray for our toaster but not as nice as yours. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the Albus Dumbledore quote and the glass bottles on the shelf :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love the crates. I'll head over and check her out. :)
ReplyDeleteThat toaster tray is so adorable and practical! It's making me wish for a toaster (we only have a toaster oven now. And it's ugly)
ReplyDeleteyou have fabulous taste! Wishing you a happy spring day!
ReplyDeleteI love beautiful and practical and when it is repurposed, all the better! Love your toaster tray - I'll visit her blog and etsy when I get a free moment. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello! Good idea on the tray.. crumbs get on my nerves sometimes. Love the idea of the reclaim wood. I have some in garage. Thanks for sharing her lovely work.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, hand crafted things are so much more beautiful than just something plastic. They warm our homes, and our hearts. Love those wood crates!
ReplyDeleteOh I am sooo jealous that you got a toaster crumb catcher! I told her I was going to make one and I have to send photos, I know it will not compare to hers, I love that she used her dogs old chew toy for the handles!! I have our Lacy dogs old collar, she has been gone from us now for 13 years but we think of her often, I may use that for my handles and keep the theme alive! Happy weekend, jackie
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff ~ thanks for sharing it! I do love all things upcycled-n-repurposed!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! My toaster has a crumb catcher but my counter is always crumby anyway. Etsy is so addicting! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely creations. It always amazes me what beautiful things people can make our of old throw away stuff. I'm pretty good at copying, but not very good at original ideas. That is really a gift.
ReplyDeleteCindy
I especially love the crate with the row of bottles. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow creative! That toaster tray is complete genius. I can't even tell you how much I hate the daily toaster-crumb battle. I have tile counters in my kitchen (UGH -- on the re-do list) and crumbs + grouts lines = a cleaning nightmare!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! I want to make one now! I love finding neat etsy shops!
