That should read "vides greniers" - the equivalent of garage sales in Canada and boot sales in the UK.JoyD Gulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702772531618159281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280832012241934467.post-81386688366600410652015-09-14T12:43:06.649-05:002015-09-14T12:43:06.649-05:00I have done it all in regards to getting rid of ol...I have done it all in regards to getting rid of old clothes - consignment shops in Canada, vides grinners in France, deposit bins for charities in different countries and of course re-purposing for rags and tea towels! My brother was a furniture maker and always needed cotton/linen/silk rags for his work. He used to buy rags by the pound except they were never sorted so he often had to do the throwing away of polyesters. I cut up many a cotton t-shirt for his use. My rag bin is full and so now I would like to re-purpose some of the linen and cotton I have into better than rags. I'll keep you posted . . .JoyD Gulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702772531618159281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280832012241934467.post-5399319565337994402015-09-14T11:18:21.779-05:002015-09-14T11:18:21.779-05:00What an interesting post!!

As it is, I recycle my clothing through the Gospel Mission here in Kelowna. It then provides clothing to the homeless and indigent here in the city. I personally have no desire to consign my clothes, and feel this is a way of giving back to those here who are less fortunate. But if there was a way to actually "re-fibre" apparel it would be of interest to me for sure! And what a good idea regarding the repurposing of old linen sheets. As you know, linen sheets are a rarity here, so unfortunately this is not an option for me. I do have a "rag bag" which is handy for cleaning up spills and messes, sooner than turning to paper towels. I keep trying to reduce my foot print: ah, but that is a whole other story!! :)Relaxing in Kelownanoreply@blogger.com
