Jenny Hurth of Elbow Grease Designs takes junk and makes it into things you might want to purchase, which is good news for all parties involved and for landfills. She uses discarded vinyl signs and banners, which would otherwise be thrown away, and makes notebooks, bags, curtains and folders. All products are made in the Bay Area and you can see them at her showroom, email her to find out who carries them, or order online.
