Maybe I got the penchant for collecting junk and old things from my grandmother. She was one of those women who believed everything had a use and could be saved for doing something with in the future. You never know when you just might need that basket full of old socks, newspapers, and egg cartons! Right? That's how my grandmother was and is, but she taught me the value of little things that might otherwise get thrown out. She lived through some tough, tight times, and raised a brood of six (Six kids! that means she had to be pregnant six times... now that's true love) and she did it by being creative with what she had on hand, and by learning how to make do. I think we can all learn from our grandmothers and how the Greatest American Generation lived before us.

Hence, I was inspired to start making do with things I could find used, given away, and thrown out. I might not face the same challenges as my grandmother, but I'm facing some big, fat, overwhelming school debt, and the world is facing huge issues of pollution, environmental degradation, and waste management. Ragtag is my way of addressing all the junk that is produced, and an attempt to support myself financially.
