When one purpose doesn't work any longer, we try to modify the item to work either for the same purpose or even another one instead.<br /><br />I have used items in my living room, then changed them completely to use in my office, and then split them up to use in the bathroom. Coasters have been sewn together to become big trivets. Sturdy boxes with dividers have been turned on their sides and been used as shelving systems. Recipe card boxes now hold floppy disks. Towels that match my shower curtain now hang as my bathroom window curtains. Pants with "unfixable" knee tears are now shorts.<br /><br />They say "necessity is the mother of invention", but, really, "imagination saves a LOT of money". I'm glad your "new purse" looks so great - and the total price was perfect!Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-46964355823087789102013-05-25T22:09:39.205-05:002013-05-25T22:09:39.205-05:00Very nice redesign, Lee.
