A displayed item that is now in my possession!
We are given a guarantee by most shop managers that their products will be durable enough to last for years and are fit for their purpose. Is it? This is relevant for most items but the guarantee of durability is not applicable to all things. All goods have their lifespans which can be seen after a few usage; changes will occur and then gradually wear-and-tear develops.

One
of the household items I had which didn’t last long was a laundry bag with
stand. Its steel galvanized rack and the polypropylene plastic foot are
still in good condition. However, weeks ago the polyethylene plastic
wash bag just gave up. I didn’t have a spare replacement to use
when it happened, so I tried my best to repair the lacerated fabric around
the edges and luckily I managed to restore its original shape. What a genius... hahahahah!
The polyethylene plastic
wash bag gave-up again and it's now in the bin. However, I managed to find a replacement when I was walking down the street. Lucky me!
My newly purchased laundry bag is so much more
superior and has a lovely contour. Even though it was from a second hand
shop, this seashell like laundry bag has an exquisite appearance. I
bet, even you will approve too?
It
is a basket made of straw which has been woven by hand, creating a
light weight laundry container with strong grips on each side. These
makes it easy to lift-up and move, from one place to another. And also,
it has a well-fitting lid which covers and secures the contents of the
basket. It also has a grip that helps give the lid a tight fit.
I restored its faded beauty and transformed its appearance using a bottle of deep mahogany varnish and more importantly, my magic hands.
