Rustan’s celebrates the art of Amorsolo with limited special edition shopping bags

 

The Amorsolo Retrospective and the four-month multi-venue exhibition of the Philippines’ First National Artist’s finest works were officially introduced to the media at the Peninsula Manila Hotel recently. Rustan’s Supermarkets, as one of the proud partners in the staging of His Art, Our Heart, a look at the finest works of Fernando Amorsolo, created exclusive shopping bags in celebration of the retrospective.amorsolo-flyer-front-final.JPG

 

Inspired by Fernando Amorsolo, who was named National Artist for Painting in 1972 and the first Filipino to be given that distinction, Rustan’s Supermarkets has made the Amorsolo Shopping Bags available to the public as a contribution to the awareness and understanding of Filipino culture and core values as seen in the master’s paintings, illustrations and sketches.

 

Amorsolo, also called the “Grand Old Man of Philippine Art”, is known for his wide range of subjects – from his idealized female images of the Filipina, scenes of traditional Filipino customs, fiestas and occupations, to his series of historical paintings on pre-Colonial and Spanish Colonization scenes.

 

The one of a kind Amorsolo bags are available in two sizes, with four (4) original Amorsolo painting designs

Harvest, 1947

Mango Tray, 1950

Cooking Time, 1952 and

Picnic, 1948

priced at P145.00 (medium) and P160.00 (large) each. The bags, each made of reusable lightweight katcha fabric, will be available beginning October 1, 2008 until April 30, 2009 at all Rustan’s Supermarket Fresh stores.

The Dangers of Plastic Bags

Thanks to Lolo Atomic and Yammy for sending this.  I thought it was important enough to pass on and put it up in Heart2Heart! the_dangers_of_plastic_bags1.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags2.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags3.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags4.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags5.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags6.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags7.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags8.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags9.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags10.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags11.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags12.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags13.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags14.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags15.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags16.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags17.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags18.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags19.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags20.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags21.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags22.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags23.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags24.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags25.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags26.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags27.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags28.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags29.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags30.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags31.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags32.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags33.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags34.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags35.jpgthe_dangers_of_plastic_bags36.jpgLast year, Rustan’s Supermarket launched TIME FOR CARING  328964492503-0-bg1.jpgwhere they launched an earth friendly reusable bag.  When shopping in the supermarket, everytime you use the bag,  they give you double points.  The promotion was supposed to last for a year but the good news is they have extended the promo.  I thought it was a great idea to have the promo for a year I guess because it is a matter of getting used to it and making it a habit.  I have gotten so used to using the earth friendly bags that I even bring my own cooler to put the frozen items.  Usually they put the frozen items still in plastic bags since the bags might smell or get wet, so what I do is I bring my own cooler to put all the wet and frozen items.  I make sure I do not bring any PLASTIC BAG back with me.  And every time I receive a plastic bag, I set it aside and use it again.  I do not throw them,  instead I reuse it.  reuseable-bag.jpg Shopwise now has the same bag…..20×12-checkout-triangular-poster.jpg Previous Entry:  Time For Caring September 14, 2007  [email_link]
