When I worked retail, I was amazed at how much stuff is bought each day.
With the cold snap today--- it was 37 degrees!!! --- I grabbed a lap blanket to keep my legs warm while I had lunch.
And I remembered the origins of this one. The grey squares used to be my Grandma Clara's coat. When it became outdated, or outsized, she cut some squares and crocheted them together to make this warm blanket. The quilt on my bed growing up was also squares of clothing I wore growing up.
People were quite thrifty when they needed to be! And that impresses the hell out of me! We could be doing better at these kinds of things. And should.
