Gone fishing from Amy, above, and French curve designs that could be turned into fish from Kristine, below. I'm tempted to get some lure stamps because there are endless good fish designs to appropriate. I think I have a French curve at home --- I might have to take it for a spin.
My first *home alone* project on this trip was the cabinet under the kitchen sink. They have had a bag-holder for grocery bags since they were married 14 years ago. They had several moves between 2011 and 2019 so excess bags were discarded during moves. After 8 years in the current house - the bag situation has gotten out of control. Partly, it's because Chicago charges people for bags if you do not bring your own, so, bags seem to have some value - and I guess it's hard to discard them.
My plan was to reduce the hoard to whatever would fit in the bag holder and then hide the excess bags somewhere - and hopefully get the OK to recycle them. Here are all the bags. I tuned in to This American Life and it took less than an hour to fold all the bags that would fit in the bag-holder.
The bag-holder is that slender black thing sitting by the oven door.
I recommend Episode 863 - three very nice stories.
This *home alone* project was very well received.
I found two bags from Loblaw's, the grocery store in Toronto - where they lived in 2016-2017.
Now I wish I had just one Piggley Wiggley grocery bag from 1959.
Yes - I did a search.
Yes, you may buy 3 vintage Piggley Wiggley bags for $95 on eBay
<sigh>
