For those of you who don’t know, syncopation is a musical term. Music usually follows a predictable rhythmic pattern but when a note dramatically breaks that pattern, (an unexpected accent) it’s referred to as syncopation.
My husband Doug and I are band directors so music has always been a huge part of our lives. When our children came along, we decided it would be best for one of us to stay home. Lucky me! Through the challenge of balancing a reduced budget, I experienced a crash course in creative living. Creating inexpensive meals evolved into decorating our home with garage sale finds, thrift store purchases and salvaged materials and then ultimately to the creation of the Syncopation Company. Now, nothing gets thrown away without being given a second look.
I hope what I’ve learned about finding beauty in things recycled or creatively repurposed is reflected in what you’ll find at Syncopation and that the products on these pages will make you smile and may perhaps inspire you to look at your own trash pile a little more creatively!
