BEAUR- a term of endearment bestowed upon me in 1998. It just stuck and the rest is history.

One man's Trash...
Is another man's treasure. As the saying goes, it applies to Threadbeaur, and recycling in general. The best recycling program may in fact be the antique business. Treasures are purchased that someone else was getting rid of. We, as a society need to get away from the one time use mind set and move forward to the reusable mindset, or adopt the everything old is new again slogan. When I am out shopping for fabric for my reusable shopping bags I find all sorts of fabric that has been discarded, and with a few snips makes wonderful bags. Giving this fabric a second life is my way of keeping it out of the landfills, and making something useful. Don't wait another year to go by before you make the switch to cloth reusable bags. Get a bag that is as unique as you are. When you get a bag from Threadbeaur you won't want to leave home with out it. The best way to lead is by example, if you are carrying a great cloth bag, others will follow they will want their own cloth bags, and soon we can stop the plastic bag from littering our land.

Good idea to take an attractive cloth bag to the store. I usually use the ones that the store sells for a dollar, with their logo on it.
It would be way better to take something more attractive to promote handmade goods!
