A little inspiration from The NY Times: "The Slow Life Picks Up Speed."


This past January, I read an article by Penelope Green in The New York Times called "The Slow Life Picks Up Speed." Ms. Green's article helped inspire me to start Rethink and Reuse. Some of the artists and designers she mentions in her article are a bit out there for my taste, but there was one woman in particular who intrigued me...

The article features a company/designer from Florence, Alabama, called Alabama Chanin. I'm fascinated by her work, her ideas. The company does more than just home interiors; she dabbles in fashion, sewing and jewelry.

One of these days I'm going to make it down to Florence and interview Ms. Chanin; be on the lookout for a company profile of Alabama Chanin.
