I love the idea of saving the brown paper for patterns. And thinking of it I always remember balls of string in my grandparents house, I don't think I have ever owned one.

Not the way today. I've watched clerks throw things into the bag with no care of the damage, not alone ever taking the time to wrap something with care. In this state of the art world, we seem to have lost customer service, and quality in many of the products. I think I liked it better when we had less and seemed to enjoy life more simply..

And what a wonderful handle idea! Once on Bloor St here I saw a woman with this contraption like a mini-tree on wheels and on it she had hanging 8 cloth bags of shopping, rolling along blissfully. I've never seen one since and thought what a brilliant idea! the whole thing looked as if it could collapse into an unbrella sized stick. I'd be interested if anyone else has seen similar.

Also airport security was not as difficult before 9/11. Glad to jog the memory Robert & Nancy and as usual Nancy has a good story. Primal ~ I don't remember the Late-late version, but I did come across a plastic carry handle once. It was awkward to handle and limited to 1 plastic supermarket bag, the type we are not supposed to use. My version will take two or three bags at a time.

Sort of. Do you remember years ago a guy <i>invented</i> a similar thing for carrying bales of briquettes? He was on the Late Late and all. I knew him. I also knew the guy he stole the idea from. I hadn't seen one for ages. Then last week I was in a copy-shop and one was being used to carry boxes of A4 paper. I still like your one better though. Much more comfortable.
