Modernica. Fiberglass Stacking Chair.


Fiberglass is a recyclable material but it can only be re-made into more fiberglass products.
With the cost of raw materials increasing, people are starting to wake up to the fact that recycling is a necessity (financially and environmentally).
Recycled fiberglass is less expensive than creating it from scratch, it can be stronger, lighter and more durable. You probably see recycled fiberglass used for things like swimming pools, bathtubs, park benches, food court furniture, bus seats, recycling bins, public trash receptacles and boats.

NEW bear mug.




By artist Taylor E. in 1979. Japan. (written on mug)
Wow I just realized how long it's been since i've bought a new 2nd hand mug- as I haven't posted anything on mugs in ages! I found this lil guy at a church bazaar downtown for $1. I don't quite know if these bears are engaged in G-rated or R-rated activity...
