Remember this style of film camera?

The Kodak Pocket Instamatic came out in 1972. It used a new 110 film cartridge and ruled the home photography market — until the point-and-shoot 35mm took over later that same decade.

History lesson over.

If you still have one of these in your kitchen junk drawer — yeah, we know that’s where you keep it! — Repurfect will gladly take it off your hands. Doesn’t have to be a Kodak, but it should be a 110 camera and the shape seen in the photo. Like a little brick.

We’re seeking a number of these obsolete photographic devices for a project. They need not be functional; in fact, we prefer when things have quit doing their real job before we give them a new one — but, in all honesty, we’d feel less guilty about slaughtering a whole herd of these than we would sacrificing a single working vintage Osterizer.

We just added these cameras to our Old Stuff page, which lists the things our makers are seeking for their creations. The link is always in the footer at Repurfect.com, or you go to repurfect.com/oldstuff .

A while back, we told you we were removing one of the designs in our Provincetown Bottle Cap Magnet set. You collectively voted to axe the generic "Cape Cod" image, but then couldn't agree on a replacement. Suggestions ranged from dune shacks, a wharf and fishing boats to a very specific dock, Bubala’s, and the breakwater.

Since the jury was completely deadlocked, we went with something uniquely historic instead.

If you've ever hiked to Long Point, it’s hard to picture it as a bustling early-1800s village. But when the residents packed up in the 1850s, they literally slapped their fully furnished, fully occupied houses onto rafts and floated them across the harbor. Our new sixth magnet features the iconic blue-and-white plaques that mark these historic "floater" houses today.

Also, after taking some serious flak for putting the abbreviation "Ptown" on an original magnet, we’ve corrected our sins. We replaced it with a fresh image of the library cupola — and crammed all twelve letters in there. Now please stop referring to us as "Rfect."

The brand-spankin’ new Provincetown Bottle Cap Magnets, designed by us and made by Kate’s Magnets, are now available in store and at Repurfect.com.

Back in July, before we sold our last "We Are All Different" Messenger bag, we received the tragic news that it was officially discontinued. Sold out. Gone forever.

If you know Vintage Addiction, you know why we were heartbroken. This style was a Repurfect favorite, bearing an iconic quote from Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox: "We are all different. But there's something kind of fantastic about that, isn't there?"

Long story short: They found more. Visit Repurfect.com

Long story long:

[SCENE START]

CHAPTER TWELVE: THE UNEARTHING

INT. REPURFECT — DAY

A perfectly square cardboard box, centered on a table. An uptempo banjo solo begins, precisely on beat.

A hand — steady, deliberate — slices the tape in one motion. The flaps open in unison to reveal a bird's-eye view: twelve messengers, formerly canvas tents, stacked with military precision.

[HARD CUT TO:]

TITLE CARD: "SIX YEARS EARLIER"

INT. VINTAGE ADDICTION WAREHOUSE — DAY

A single case, unlabeled, is slid onto a shelf between two identical, unrelated boxes. No one present registers this as significant. A clock ticks, once, for emphasis.

NARRATOR (V.O.): No one thought to look here. No one thought to look anywhere, really.

[HARD CUT BACK TO:]

TITLE CARD: "THE PRESENT"

INT. REPURFECT — DAY

NARRATOR (V.O.): They were not extinct. They had simply been hiding, underground, in a warehouse tunnel, waiting for the right moment to resurface.

The twelve bags, arranged in a perfect grid on a table, viewed directly from above. A hand enters frame and adjusts one bag by a fraction of an inch, so that it aligns precisely with the others. The hand exits frame.

NARRATOR (V.O.): Item: one canvas messenger bag. Quantity remaining: twelve. Quantity that will ever exist again: zero. The narrator trusts this arithmetic requires no further elaboration.

[HARD CUT TO:]

EXT. REPURFECT - DAY

A rapid, horizontal tracking shot of twelve distinct people standing side-by-side outside the shop. Each wears the messenger bag.

An upbeat 60s pop track kicks in. In slow-motion, all twelve people simultaneously give a silent, respectful paw-salute directly into the camera.

[QUICK FLASH TO BLACK]

TITLE CARD: "REPURFECT.COM"

NARRATOR (V.O.): Claim yours before the final credits roll.

Most of Repurfect’s creators are individuals and small companies that make items one-at-a-time or in small batches. It’s very possible an item you’re looking at in our store or on our site is the only one we have — or ever will have.

We recently explained that Flowfold makes their wallets from sailcloth remnants. Once they’ve completely used a piece, that color won’t be available again — unless they get another remnant. Almost every wallet is a limited edition.

Bryan at Chopstick Art let us know that the patterns for his hugely popular Chopstick Baskets, with the exception of a small set of core variants, are now being done in limited batches, and then he’s moving on. That means the colors we have this month are not likely to be the colors we have next month. If you see one you like, don’t think about it too long or the decision may be made for you.

The newest releases are a classy gray/natural combo for the minimalist, along with a new basket with vibrant pastels, for those who like a bit more color. Available now — but we have no idea for how long — in store and at Repurfect.com.

After Labor Day and our insane summer season are in the rearview mirror, we’re left with way too much time on our hands. It’s the perfect moment to update inventory, audit the books, and deep clean our store — but we’d rather do something fun.

So we're playing a game: Don't Let Go! Think Hands on a Hardbody, but way easier and major step down prize-wise. The winner will receive a Repurfect Gift Card that starts at $50, and goes up $5 each week the contest drags on. Plus one randomly chosen loser will get a flat $50 Gift Card.

(Hey, we’d rather share the promotional budget with you than pay Google and Meta for ads!)

Only our newsletter subscribers are eligible. You have to be on the list by Tuesday, so you still have a few days to sign up at Repurfect.com.

And remember, the only thing we NEVER repurpose is your personal information. We’ll never sell or share your data!

Two new arrivals from Full Circle Co., both made from cracked cymbals: one a new color and the other a new shape.

The Full Circle Bracelet now comes in a dark variant, along with the original all bronze. What other shape would you expect a cymbal bracelet to be, right?

And the Arpeggio — Full Circle’s name for the classic guitar pick shape — just completed a grand slam, with a new keychain joining the already-available earrings and necklace.

Check out everything available from Full Circle Co. in store or at Repurfect.com.

Labor Day Weekend: The traditional end of summer.

Which means the tourists fly south for the winter (or something like that), and we're left staring at yet another shark ornament wondering why we still have 40 of them.

So: 10–25% off everything that IS, WAS, or somehow manages to BOTH IS and WAS a Shore Thing. Whales, boats, seals, anchors, lobsters — if it's beach-adjacent, it's discounted.

Sale ends Labor Day.

Shop the Shore Things Sale in store or at Repurfect.com.

Rule Numero Uno at Repurfect is simple: Everything in our store was once something else. EVERYTHING.

Simple, that is, until these little pins and magnets came along from Little Shop of Pins. We have no doubt that these are brand new, not upcycled, but we still brought them in because they are the spiritual cousins of everything else in our collection.

These are small enamel representations of plastic tubs and cookie tins—items that all desperately wanted to be something else. Open the sour cream container and you'll find it's actually full of beans. (Sometimes said about us, too!) The Country Crock holds leftover spaghetti and meatballs. Disposable containers with Tupperwarian dreams.

Available as pins and magnets in-store and at Repurfect.com.
