So, what do you think they are made of? Can you guess? They are so bright and cheerful aren't they? (It does help that the sun was shining with all it's might today...)
Alright, I'll tell... they are made from strips cut from plastic carrier bags - in particular the flimsy white ones which usually have a broken handle by the time you get home with them.
I try very hard not to collect carrier bags when I go shopping but there are always days when you buy more than you intended to - or those days when the heavens open just as you leave the paper shop... And despite my best efforts, other members of the household never manage to take a bag with them when they pop to the shop. Now I don't have to hide these bags guiltily at the back of the kitchen cupboard anymore!
So I spent the afternoon scouting round the house looking at bags - there's a good white one full of old yoghurt pots in the kitchen, along with several orange ones from a well known supermarket, a lovely lime green one full of stuff for the charity shop in the hall... now where are my scissors?
I have been tagged by Jackie - I have to come up with some random facts about myself. I shall have to think about this...

Those daisies are lovely. What a great idea, to use carrier bags.
as you know, I'm not a fan of "look what's in my shop" blogs - but these flowers are something else. I can't believe how fabulous they look, made from something we hate!
