A Sweet Message from Bagette Dad

 

Teresa,

You asked me one time, why I folded the handles/bags the way I do. I told you it was to minimize thickness when they are packed in an envelope. That is true.

But there are 2 other reasons, as well.

Second: It provides the approximate center of the bag when I am folding to place a bag in an envelope.

Third: In many cultures, folded arms are a sign of contemplation or prayer. So, for each bag I send, a little prayer goes with it.

A blessing, if you will!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this Green Bag Lady movement. It has povided me with a very rewarding second career.

Love, Hugs, Prayers,
Bagette Dad

My husband loves to send his mom a Christmas card with a red cardinal on it. He asked if I had a picture of one. He absolutely had to hurry and be his mom's first card of the year. I ended up making her a GBL bag that had a cardinal on it. I remembering you showing this technique to the local bagettes. I spent quite a while trying to get it to fit in the envelope. Thank you for all you do and the prayers you send all over the world!
