Thanks for the challenge, Dawn! I managed a couple of reuse/recycle things here:
The 'fly' is actually a single earring - its companion was lost many years ago! My aunt saw a guy at a craft fari who'd obviously decided that jewelry would be a more lucrative market for his fly tying!
The card base is one I stamped and then dropped an ink pad in the middle - it was fine for this design as I just covered it up with a big panel!
The linen thread is not exactly reused but it was an awesome find! I got three cards on eBay for 99p that were printed with their original price - 3D! We went decimal in the UK in 1971 so this thread is most likely 40 years old and hasn't been touched so I'm counting that for this challenge too!

This card is awesome, Joanne! My husband would be bonkers over the little tied fly! Even if it IS an earring, hee! Love the Spanish Script peeking out...darn ink pads, they can be so SLIPPERY, hee hee!
