Things that look like garbage, but aren't

I have a small obsession with things that look disposable but aren't. One of my earliest posts was about "Not A Paper Cup," which looks like a standard paper coffee cup with a plastic kid but is actually porcelain. I actually purchased it and I loved it for a long time until it got the tiniest chip on the rim, which prevented the silicone lid from sealing it and I would slop tea all over myself. But I'm getting slightly off track. I have a new thing that looks disposable but isn't: 
Brown bagged lunch! Oh, it looks like a brown paper lunch bag, but it's not! It is, in fact, an insulated lunchbox! I'm not sure why I love this concept so much. I'm all about reusing stuff (ask my husband how many Chinese take-out soup containers I had before he staged an intervention); I prefer my glass Pyrex containers with lids over gladware or any of that other BPA-filled plastic junk. But there's something so homey to me about the idea of lunch in a brown paper bag. If you, too, want to throw it back to third grade, back when pb&j was acceptable in public schools, get yours here!

So my day really wasn't that interesting.

I.... didn't pay attention to my World Lit class, I actually drew up wedding plans. It was great fun. I chose a dress for my sister to wear. If it's flattering when she tries it on anyway... And I also looked at some favors per my sister's request. Her name is Diana by the way. I highly enjoy the containers she showed me. They look like little vintage candy jars, the ones that sit at an angle with a funny little metal top. Way cute. But anyway. Containers! That's how I'll tie in todays item. Going to school, I always see tons of people drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee. They then throw away their coffee containers. Think green people! Think....

Not a paper cup! Available at MANY places, http://fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=3816&cat=366 this place included! $22 is pricier than other places. Just Google "not a paper cup" and it should come up. I try to do my part for the environment even tho I'm not like "Save the Earth and be green!" because really I think we're too far gone. But I do like this cup anyway. I like things that look like what they're not. ::evil smile::
