Welcome to Redabe
Redabe (pronounced red-ah-be) is a place where I share my appreciation for discarded “junk” and “treasures”. But it’s much bigger than that really. When I find a good pick I often wonder about the journey it made before I found it. When an owner shares with me his or her story and the background of a special item, it is better than watching the History Channel on a rainy day. Because when one’s appreciation of an object ends, someone else’s love and appreciation for that object begins. When someone relinquishes ownership, Redabe helps establish a new history for the object by passing it along so that it can create new stories for new people.
I relish the time I spend making an object functional once again or transforming it into an art project. But I’ve also learned that I don’t need to keep everything I find all for myself. These special things are meant for sharing. So whether I keep something for days, months, or years, once I’ve admired and appreciated it fully, I relinquish it to Redabe.
