A shift in Christmas Tradition

Shift your thinking about what to give people for Christmas. 
Its not the stuff you give but the thought you invest in the gift that counts. 

[This is not my idea but an idea that was sent to me via the net. 
I have slightly edited the copy to be more general but overall it is a perfect 
SHIFTAZINE idea but I can not take credit for it.]

Shifting from 2011 to 2012

Inside and Outside_it works

I was at an auction house recently. 
 It was full of all sorts of stuff, filling the entire floor space and all the corners of the old warehouse. 
While wondering through the aisles of this space I came upon rows of suitcases, trunks, bags, stacked one upon
each other reaching to the pressed tin ceiling. 
It struck me that the use of old suitcases was a great storage idea that created a wonderful visual for an interior 
while suppling storage and allowing people to recycle and engage suitcases and old trunks.
