From Waste to Wonder(ful)
Welcome to Ivy Bee ReHand, a creative design studio where sustainability meets imagination. I craft unique housewares and art from recycled textiles, found objects and items that are no longer in use. Each piece is an original creation. Each piece transforms everyday waste into a delightful treasure. Each piece gives new life to materials that might otherwise be relegated to the dump. Come see what can be done with a little effort and a love for the potential found in EVERYTHING!

What is Ivy Bee ReHand?
Ivy
In a quirky Santa Fe neighborhood, there's a dead tree enjoying a second act. An ivy plant has decided to throw a wild party on it, climbing up high and inviting all the local birds and creatures to join in. Rather than getting the axe, this old tree has turned into a nature hotspot, proving that even a “has-been” can enjoy a renewal. It’s all about repurposing, folks – because who knew dead trees could be the life of the party?
Bee
The favorite guest at the ivy plant's party? The bees, of course. They zoom among the ivy's leaves and summertime blooms, bringing life and energy to the yard. Their diligent work transforms the offered pollen into the sweet delight of honey. The ivy bees remind us every day of the joyful effort involved in artful transformation.
Re
Recycle. Reuse. Repurpose. Renew. Repair. Reconstitute. Reclaim. Revive. Regenerate. Re... well, you get the idea.
Hand
Made by hand, every piece. When items are made by an artisan, you know that every stitch, cut, join, tie and construct has been skillfully and thoughtfully executed. Even better, big joy passes from the maker's hands into the finished objects Take a piece of work home from Ivy Bee ReHand and that joy will live on, in your home.
