Barbara creates all her objects from recycled goods. She is very concerned about the environment and says that anything that is made well once should have another chance and another life. She makes all her paper at the kitchen sink thus the name of her company.

So much of the earth's resources go into making milk cartons that they should certainly be used again. Barbara creates her outdoor lanterns from recycled dryer sheets used as light panels, the beads come from a beaded car seat cover and the glass candleholders are old jam or baby food jars.

Barbara's lanterns are very durable and give off great light. Even if they get wet, they will shrink back into place as they dry.

Barbara's makes recycled paper from junk mail, her daughters old cotton socks (which makes the paper soft), old onion skins, banana peels…etc. The note cards contain parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme seeds and can be planted in the spring as is. Her paper boxes are designed for the gift-wrap challenged with the ribbon glued on.

The picture frames are made from old fence boards.
