old soles.

As I have worked at Office shoes for well over two years now I have gathered quite an array of shoes, many of which I don't wear any more. They aren't not worn through distaste, just that they have been worn so well they look barely like the shoe they were when I bought them. I know shoes can be recycled, or given to charity shops, however mine are well past someone wanting to buy them again.

So I have been looking for a nice way to reuse them without me having to actually throw them out...and I found one. I am not really a gardening person, but have always liked to get my hands dirty when it comes to being house proud so this idea is perfect.

Making plant pots out of them. I found an article about it here on eHow and I am all inspired to get started.

This boot looks great.

I am a true hoarder at heart so to have an excuse to keep things, especially my beloved shoes, always makes me happy.
