23.01.2022 I'm travelling through stunning Tassie at the moment and I'm blown away by not only the beauty of the place but also by the culture of vintage, antique and recycled furniture. This is a haven of opportunity for a magpie in me and I'm only sorry I can't take some projects home this time.
23.01.2022 Welcome to Recycled Rosie, this little page is devoted to all the recycling, upcycling and rescuing I do. I'm really loving furniture right now and will be featuring the pieces I transform for sale here as well as other projects which happen along the way.

16.01.2022 Had a very sobering (literally) conversation with my new physio this week. He unceremoniously reminded me that my body still has to do me for a while yet and that if I don't sort myself out, that is going to be a problem. So I figure I'm about half way through my life as I hope to live it. Yes, I do have a few tedious medical issues to contend with but hey, same goes for most people in my age group and by all accounts I'm a heck of a lot better off than many. It feels li...ke there are two forks in the road ahead and I get to choose which I take. Either I get my fitness and nutrition under control and get better or I carry on in denial and get significantly worse over time, not much of a choice is it? So, here's the thing. No one can do this but me. I have to decide to treat myself well and that's where I am at. It's not just about joining the gym (and not going) or getting on a crazy diet (which no human can stick to), this is about balance and self-care for the rest of my life. No quick fix, no miracle cure, just stop whinging and start respecting myself in every decision I make and finding ways to be active and healthy every day. Bring it on!
13.01.2022 It has been forever and a day since I posted in my little space. I've been so tied up making the world (and people) around me happy that I haven't had time to talk about what I think is important. Things are changing for the better for me and although I know that there will be challenges, I feel for the first time in a long time that my future is more than just marking time, that I can again be myself and express my ideas without ridicule. I'm not sure where my recycled Rosie will head as this Rosie recycles herself but I'm going to post as I go. There is still no "away" and that includes my self esteem as I embark on the next part or my life.
09.01.2022 Looking at the shops this morning and thinking about gifts for Christmas I saw some lovely hand painted bowls. I asked the stall holder who hand paints them and he said he imports them so he doesn't know. It reminded me to always ask about origin and fair trade. Were those who made these paid fairly? Do they work in safe conditions? Do they have enough to feed their families? The reality is probably not. So spare a thought this Christmas. Who is really paying for what you buy?
06.01.2022 All this moving forward, making changes and reinventing myself is very hard and emotional work I must say. I will persevere and I absolutely know it will be worth it but wow, I'm exhausted.
