<p>[QUOTE="RichardE, post: 793696, member: 11063"]I have been re-purposing sterling silver made in Mexico, “Taxco” ice tea stir straws to make useful straws in a homemade carry bag using the leaf spoonlike section as part of the tie string handle to mark the Sterling content. Repurposing is good for the environment and silver, unlike plastic or stainless steel has a natural antibacterial agent. Tiffany and Company is making brand new sterling silver straws at $140 apiece from newly processed silver which is terrible for the environment and a huge waste of money. If you are making something useful out of something that is otherwise not wanted then good for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
