Things I do for Tony


So Tony works for a design build firm in Boston, and since it's construction work (for the most part) he eats a lot of food! He also works with four other men who also eat a lot of food, and since their company is really ecologically conscious I thought that I might make them some super-awesome lunch bags to reduce their dependency on plastic shopping bags, which they all used previously to carry their lunches in. So I made one as a test out of some canvas I had laying around the house, and sent it off with Tony. That day he came home and told me that everybody wanted one, and to make them ASAP. Well, that was about a month ago, and last night I finally caved and busted out three more bags for the boys. They aren't the most beautiful creations, but seeing as they end up looking like Tony's (see before/after shot) I don't think anymore time should be spent on them.


Also note the sweet initials Tony personally stitched onto scraps and then sewed into the bags, yeah that's not my sewing you see there!

COOL THINGS



On my walking tour I managed to stop by Urban Outfitters to check out their advertised "yard sale" to see if indeed they had any cheap things (since this is a rare occurrence). To my dismay they didn't- but they did have some cool home accessories that I snapped a few pics of. The first being the letters- they have them in metal and paper options in bold colors and I think various fonts... I can't remember exactly. I may have been trying to hide my camera from some "employees" or those people who hang around there and occasionally ring up your purchases. The second find were these cute sets of tupper-ware-esque dishes that buckle together to create a lunch-box type unit. For $20.00 it wasn't worth it- but it was cute enough for me to pause and think about it. Enjoy!
