my love for recycled stuff

it all started when i was in college...that was in mid 90's...i bought a round shape small backpack made of canvas cloth..i love that backpack...now i wonder where was it or..maybe who got it..(my mother used to recycle my old stuff too and give it away to friends and relatives who needed it most)...

when i was still in republic, my love for recycled stuff came back when i saw a cute 'bayong' (bamboo tote) held by a lady doctor friend...i said, 'wow doc, i love your 'bayong'...then she said, 'oh, it's yours na lg'...(hahaha) so i got it right away before she changes her mind. that was in March of 2009..i still know because i blogged it (in my previous republic memoir)...

still in republic, another friend (i have so many friends when i was in republic, are they still my friends now? bwahaha), by the way, a school principal...gave me this. a tote made of recycled tetra pack...nice!

 

just recently, i saw this voodoo doll made of black garbage bag-like material...it cost me around Php 250.00...as you can see, if you open the zipper at the back, you got an extra tote...clever!

 the other day, mabe and i were thrifting around in a mall (?) here in the city, when i found this!! you won't believe me...this cost Php 20.00! This is THE real thrift stuff i got so far...it's a  tote made of coffee bean sack...it's plain, square and simple..so i thought of giving it a little life...

so..there it is!

i love recycled totes...ever..

so what's your best find?
