the thrift shop project
if you aren't into searching through thrift stores, then you might want to keep an eye on kristin's blog. most of her posts have an up for grabs item or two that she finds but doesn't have any use for.

fit to be tied
i've always enjoyed looking through men's ties at second hand stores, and now there is even more reason to take some home. this seattle based company recycles men's ties into something cute for your child's wardrobe. my favorite are these adorable skirts for little girls. and seeing this simple ideas makes me wonder, what could you do with some silk ties?

thrifty fun
well, if you are still wondering...here are some ideas for silk ties! the site offers free newsletters too, might be worth checking into.

last minute fabric gifts
the projects in this book are perfect for that fabric or old suit that you thrifted, but just can't find a purpose for yet. most of the crafts take a couple hours and look so beautiful that you might want to make a few of each project, one for a gift and one for you to keep!
