From coffee bags to laptop cases

I recently purchased a new laptop and have since been looking for the ideal carrying case. I’ve gone to all the usual places but have yet to find something extraordinary - until today. While browsing the “Shop Local” section of Etsy, I happened upon Baltimore crafter La Budde, who specializes in making very hip and eco-friendly laptop cases out of upcycled coffee bags. Each one is detailed with colorful fabric piping and comes lined two protective layers of poly batting. Also, they’re affordable at $35 a pop, and for a few extra bucks, she’ll throw in a shoulder strap and/or battery case. Perfect!

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.
