Food for thought's Spring Fling Vendor Highlight: Skr@ps Bracelets

If you have sewn, you know you always end up with a bunch of scrap fabric that you have no idea what to do with!  Well, this innovative individual has come up with a great way to re-purpose those scraps, as well as a fun fashion statement! 

"Each bracelet is made with scrap pieces of fabric which means no 2 are alike. They might have the same fabric or colors but they pattern never is the same. Which makes each bracelet a one of a kind piece of jewelry!"

Visit our outdoor market this Saturday and stop by Skr@ps to discover this fun line!
