My Green Post.

brons-poptop-purse002.JPG I promised to blog about green things today and this purse just said it all for me. My daughter’s birthday is coming up and this said “Buy me. It’s what all cool hip young ladies will be wanting for their dance parties.” And, I agreed.

If you haven’t guessed by now what it is…let me tell you: the purse is made from pop tops, with the edges worn off so they aren’t sharp. The sales associate had to tell me, I didn’t guess it…I just thought this is sooooo cool and different, what is it made of. Once I heard it was a recyclable product, the deal was done. For more information you can call Christoper’s, 127 E. Argonne, Kirkwood, MO (314) 909-0202, and please tell him I sent you.

    Hi Maryam. Yes. I have just gotten super busy but also in terms of what’s happening the shifts are in the process of happening, and until a little more materializes, it is difficult to pinpoint any directional notations without rehashing a lot of stuff. But I’ll be back at it next week. Thanks for the nudge.

    Marko, my daughter did get this as a present and she carries it all the time. I thought she would just use it for dances or going out, but no, it turned into an everyday clutch for her and she said she gets compliments on it all the time. She LOVES it! When she first got it, she got very excited because her sorority collected pop tops for community service….
