Construction Trashpo Windfall from Stewart Charlebois

This incredibly inventive canvas toolbelt bag arrived stitched together and stuffed full of trash. Stewart explains that he was working at his daughter's school on building a playground and found all these tags that he knew he should send to me! So lucky and he included some wonderful shopping lists as well. I love how this whole package tells a story. thank you for thinking of me Stewart--and it appears you and your family really like spinach:)

I'm still pondering what to make with them--very inspiring pieces and the story behind them makes them that much richer!

not planned at all Austin...but when I saw all those tags gently worn by wear and the weather, I knew that Diane could / would make use....the "envelope" was one of those "lightning bolts" as you say...

That envelope give me the good ole mail art flutters.  An excellent looking start to a very cool package, to be sure.

How great! What an inspired idea Stewart. Was it planned, or one of those artistic 'lightning bolts' we all get from time to time?

Nice going with the spinach, Stewart. I even hide it from myself that way, and love it.

Spinach frequently finds its way onto our shopping list. We don't cook it ( generally) but hide it in salads and sandwiches and tell the kids that it's lettuce.

OMG - this is so great! No limitis to the creative potential of trashpo.

A great trashpo windfall, all right, and with such an inventive "envelope."
