Recycled treasures


Had a lucky break this week. I was taking my unwanted plastic to recycle at my local amenity site and spotted two guys starting to unload a boot full of fabric samples into the landfill container - Designers Guild, Osbourne & Little - in great big sheets. I zoomed over and politely scooped them up. I have lots of potential uses for the bright fabric - some a bit gawdy, some quite funky - gift bags, big bags, fabric jewellery. Perhaps I will mix it up with some plain organic calico. The only trouble is I now have to find the space to store it, along with my growing collection of reusable packaging for mail order.
