My grandma use to do the same thing.
I had never heard of this before. (the plastic bread bags)

I have a really neat jacket that was an old denim that a guy friend used old purses to fancy it up.

I had thought about getting rid of it since I can no longer wear it . Hadn't seen or heard from him in over 10 years either . Found him on FB and the first thing he asked me was did I still have the jacket. LOL
