So I went to do a little pick-me-up shopping today with my sister. We hit up all the usual places, and although I found little bits here and there, I didn’t really see anything all day that made me drool. UNTIL. We decided to stop at Ross, which I rarely do because even if I manage to park without getting cursed at I still have to elbow my way through the store and risk tripping over a broken hanger on the floor or getting into a shouting match with an old lady. It just raises my blood pressure more than it’s worth. But today I was feeling optimistic. Either that or I’ve been cooped up in the house for so long that I forgot about the hell that is the Mission Hills Ross. Anyway, I’m glad we went because I got tons of goodies. But here is the gem. Talk about recycling- I don’t think it gets much cooler than this.

That’s right, it’s made out of rolled up newspaper.

Chinese newspaper to be exact. I’m smitten. I want more. I might have to learn to basket weave.
In case you’re interested in similar products I found a great link. Or, if you want to attempt the craft yourself, here’s a more do-able version.
