On a recent walk to a nearby deer park, we (me and my son) found some little pine cones. We brought some home with us to use for Christmas. I don't know yet what I'm going to make with them but I found some very cool Christmas projects on the Internet and might try one or two.
I also know someone who works for a local catering company which does the catering for many events including weddings. The cute fabric favour bags bellow and the clothes pegs were left behind after a wedding and instead of being thrown away they were given to me and I love them 
. Sometimes, I also get bits of ribbon, sequins and organza bags among other bits and bobs I keep for use in my crafts. I think it would be a shame not to reuse/recycle these items as they are in perfect condition and most of them are very pretty.
