Dinner Time Chimes

On Etsy, sellers have the opportunity to become a member of a team(s). One of the fabulous teams Eco-Logic is apart of is Team EcoEtsy. One of my team mates is Dinner Time Chimes - a fabulous company that upcycles silerware to create fabulous wind chimes.

Here's a brief interview with Dinner Time Chimes:

1. Is this a business or hobby?

Dinner Time Chimes is a business, but since it's a second job for me it's been on the backburner for the past few months as we welcomed our LittleDude to the family. We're still trying to figure out how we're going to raise a kid AND find time to be creative too!

2. What's your favorite material to work with? Why?

My favorite material is silverware... go figure! I'm always amazed at the different patterns on the handles of the silverware. I love when a customer spots a pattern that they recognize as being their grandmothers. I also enjoy the chance to daydream about why some of the things were engraved onto the handles. I recently made fork easels from forks that said "Maryland Penitentiary," "Famous," and "President"...apparently EVERYone used silver plate at some point in history.

3. What's the newest item/product you're working on?

I recently bought a Silhouette machine, so I'm working on revamping thrift store finds with vinyl. It's a much quicker craft, which is exactly what I need these days since polishing silverware is messy and not the easiest task when watching a six month old too!
