recycling...a bowling alley lane...

What a clever, creative idea...Ideal if you are seeking a larger table that tends to attract 'dollars' in the shops...

PASSING THOUGHT: My original intention to gently and thoughtfully 'filter' my book collection, in preparation for my move, has now stepped up to a full-scale cull.
Do I really need all that baggage in my new world?
I've read these books...
I should share...
Salvos will love me?

once treasured clutter...

PASSING THOUGHT: Knew my addictive storage of re-usable plastic bags would come in handy someday...
And that day is right now...
So much 'once treasured clutter' is finding a new home at the Salvos...
(My car is loaded)...
Must reduce the packing nightmare...
AND so cleansing... pic.twitter.com/oWqFfxGE89

baling twine...

Creative recycling...
Murray Blyth of Geraldton, WA, and his wife Glenda ask local farmers for their old baling twine. Murray then weaves hats, bags + bowls + more.
A hat takes him about 12 hours, using 12 metres of seven-strand plait per hat!https://t.co/jqcaGklWzL pic.twitter.com/rpiGxgBWpQ
