The Upcyle Girls

My obsession for all things crafty, vintage and upcycled has finally turned into a business venture.  My friend Jessica and I started Upcycle Girls in the spring of 2014.  Our passion is to find old, vintage items and bring them back to life.  Furniture, old cupboard doors, wood, metal......really anything we can get our hands on.  Along with that, we also make one of a kind pieces......wreaths, cake stands, menu boards, chalk boards, banners, coasters, burlap crafts........the list is endless.  Right now we have a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/UpcycleGirlsAmberandJessica and we plan on doing a few bazaars this fall.  Stay tuned for where we'll be so you can come out and shop!  Our ultimate goal is to one day have a booth in one of the fabulous Vintage shops here in Yakima.......fingers crossed.
