Photo Finish Friday

I LOVE seeing this in my yard! Do you spy the bunny from here?

How bazaar!

I can't believe I haven't shared this with you yet.

Can't blame the elephant.

These are pretty funny.

Have fun East Coast! We had them 2 years ago.

Save the bees! I heart them so much.

Who knew they were so smart?? (watch the video)

Have a fantabulous weekend! Teresa

Minnesota Bags!

So, my sister met this woman at Target and told her about Green Bag Lady and then told Bagette Dad to send her a couple of bags. This is truly a family affair! Teresa

Oops!

While folding laundry, I was dismayed to find that Little Man had snagged his new shirt and ripped it. UGH! I set it aside for a while contemplating what to do about it. I hated to toss it out. It finally occurred to me that I could put a patch over it!

 Yes!

 First, I used a piece of fusible interfacing on the inside of the shirt behind the hole.

 Then, pinned my patch in place.

 Stitched around it with a bit of navy thread.

 Viola!

 Even Little Man gave it his seal of approval.

I'm so glad we could keep one of our favorite Polarn O. Pyret shirts! (similar shirt here) Teresa

New York Bag!

I recently went on a trip to Arizona and my bag came in handy!  Other than using it for shopping at home, I used it for my travel "sanity" supplies.  When taking a break at a rest area I was able to  take out my knitting and relax for a few minutes!

A Toast to Tennessee Event

Yesterday we gave out 400+ bags at the A Toast to Tennessee Wine Festival. We had a great time and there were LOTS of people out there!

We were right next to Ric Oulsey from Ousley Ouch salsa. This is Ric and his son, Morgan, showing off their Green Bag Lady bags that they have gotten at past events. They use the bags to help carry the chips and salsa!

 Happy customers picking bags…

Thanks A Toast to Tennessee, we had a great time. Everyone, use your bags all the time! Teresa
