However, this week, I took a Morsbag in to Sara at Nourish Cafe (a local wholefood cooperative cafe) and she loved it and asked if I could let her have some to give to customers in the shop. First off, she wanted to buy some, but I explained the ethos of Morsbags and the fact that it remained very important that they were given away for free. She suggested putting a poster with them explaining Morsbags and that she would be happy for the cafe to act as a collection point for people to donate their unwanted curtains, sheets etc for future Morsbags. Newly inspired, I set to work and made loads of Morsbags this weekend:
The second warm, fuzzy Morsbagging incident occurred in the local sewing shop. I was buying some blackout curtain lining for Gman's curtains and had a rummage through the remnants while I was there, looking for morsbaggable material. The lady at the counter remembered before that I made bags from the bits and asked me about them - I happened to have a couple with me, which she exclaimed over "they're beautiful!" and "look at these, aren't they wonderful?" to passing customers and other staff. So of course, I had to give her a bag (even though it was one of my personal faves lol) and she was gushingly happy with it :-). I came away with a lovely glowing feeling of having made her day!
Morsbag tally is now up to 88 so think I will have to make a couple more this week, just to get to a nice round 90.
I've seen reusable bags, but never heard of the Morsbags (and I spent a month in the Uk this past summer). How lovely!
