An interesting take on re-using newspapers for something cute and functional. These would make fabulous tabletop pieces and good conversational items. From MNLStyle, these vases actually hold water and I love the texture. The red vase (shown at right) was made by a community in the Philippines living near one of Manila’s largest dump sites. This group (according to the website) is trained and employed by the Filipinas Fair Trade Venture Group, an inspirational organization committed to providing sustainable development to disadvantaged people. That’s wonderful.
