Have you heard of Pioneer Woman? She is an amazing woman who lives on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma. She has 4 kids, she home schools, maintains a blog and website daily, photographs every day and somehow managed to write a cookbook in her 3 minutes of spare time. And, oh, Pioneer Woman Cooks has reached #1 on the NY Times Best Seller list.
Anyway, Bagette April, Bagette Karen, and I read her blog. She was in Nashville tonight signing cookbooks. Bagette April dearly wanted to go but her husband had to have surgery today. So, Karen and I went and got a book signed for her. . .
We gave out bags while we stood in line. . .
We saw a woman in line with a Green Bag Lady bag! She got it at the Farmers Market! Her bag is on the right and she was kind enough to hold the bag that we gave to Pioneer Woman on the left. . .
We finally got to the front of the line and gave Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond) a bag. . .
I told her about Green Bag Lady. . .
We also gave bags to Pioneer Woman's sister Betsy and her friend Hyacinth. . .
FREEBIE!!!! Read on. . .

Glad to see you got to meet Ree! Her dad did the surgery on our son's broken leg (separated fracture of the tibia) many years ago. A wonderful family!

I think it's fabulous what you do! I love reusable bags. The christmas gifts we give this year will be "wrapped" in a homemade grocery tote. Thanks for all you do!

Oh you are so lucky to have met pioneer woman. Even in Australia I have heard of her.
I would love to have an amy butler fabric bag, to pass on to my aunty.
domemluke(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
How wonderful you got to meet Ree! She was not on tour near us or we would have been there!
I would love one of your bags. Right now I only have one reusable bag so one more would help out when bringing home groceries!
Thank you guys so much for everything you do!

Hi!
I read about your great initiative in Sew Mama Sew!
I can say I am proud member of your team! It's years that I only use fabric bags for my shopping (I mean all kind of shopping, clothes, supermarket, shoes... you name it) and I also give fabric bags as presents to my friend and family whenever I have funny fabrics. BTW I have just up-cycled 3 old summer dresses in bags and pouches.
I confess, I try not to buy fabric expecially to make bags... in fact they all look rather peculiar...
That's why I'd love one of yours!!!
and I love Amy Butler fabrics (which you don't get here in Italy)
Btw, do you ship in Italy?
in case my emal is:

What fun...I also love reading PW and would LOVE one of your bags!
One can really never have too many bags, right. This really is a great thing you are doing!

What fun. I have been using recycle bags for a while now. Our grocery stores now charge for bags and I think it's a great incentive to get people to use reusable bags. I make recycled koolaid bags out of recycled juicebags from a school, and old jeans. I made a tutorial for everyone to make their own juicebag. Come see. gailmitchell at yahoo dot com
did you say amy butler??!!

Ladies! I think I was in line just a few people in front of you... I was there to get my sister a book for Christmas. She is an blogger and reads PW everyday. I must say that it was a great experience even for a guy that knows nothing about blogs.
If I happen to win the bag, I will put my sisters book in it as an additional gift for the holidays. She lives in Taylorsville, NC so not sure if you have bags there.
Check out her blog, lifeontheedgeofthedevilstrack(dot)com.

I love that you all are trying to help eliminate plastic bags!! We use hand sewn market bags for everything! I keep a stash in my car, I've got one rolled up in my purse, and there are numerous others hanging in the garage to grab on the way out. Could always use more though ;-)

Hi! I heard about you from the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day. I live in Holland where you have to bring your own bags to the grocery store... which is great... though it definitely took a little getting used to after living in Canada / the US! I think what you're doing is great!
ashleighelson(at)yahoo(dot)com
Wow this is great. Just found your site from the Sew mama Sew blog. I am going to make some bags myself! But one of your bags would be awesome.

I was in Nashville with my daughter at the Pioneer Woman book signing. We were in group 8 but were able to sit on a bench and watch everyone come by with books in hand. At about 8:45 we jumped in line. It was a wonderful night visiting with my daughter and getting to meet the Pioneer Woman. She is lovely and the cookbook makes you happy. Thanks Green Bag Lady-Vicki
Hello. You are such a wonderfully green inspiration! i would dearly love one of your bags!

Hello - found your site through sewmamsew. I am an expat living in Moscow Russia. Grocery stores here have been charging for plastic bags for a while - everyone pretty much carries around old plastic bags to reuse. I saw the other day one store had some reusable bags for sale, fabric bags would be great!

I need to make some more bags for presents! ericathomas at gmail dot com

I didn't know what to get the last few people on my Christmas list and I stumbled over here from Sew Mama Sew. I think I found just what I have been looking for!
I love the PW blog, too. You're so lucky you got to meet her. Wow, a bag made of Amy Butler fabric would be super.
nseccia at fuse dot net
I think what you are doing is so great!! I use cloth bags for groceries, but not yet for other purchases -- a few cute bags like these would be just the right impetus. :) After Christmas sewing is done I'm also going to make a bunch for myself and my family. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is my first visit to your site. Great idea! We have purchased cloth bags that we use and I keep planning on sewing my own with fab fabric, but somehow children and other sewing projects have postponed my bag sewing. I'd love a chance to win some wonderful fabric bags.

What a fantastic idea! We always use canvas totes that I get at thrift stores. We hate some of the slogans/logos on them, but I love that we're not consuming more plastic. I'd love a Green Bag Lady bag!

So impressed that you were able to make it (that rain storm was awful). That combined with a series of mishaps kept me away. Glad you had a good time.

Oh Wow.....what a great giveaway. I am such a bag lady.....absolutely hate paper cause it tears, and don't like plastic because of the environment.....but fabric is wonderful. Today is my birthday and am feeling sorry for myself because I can't go out and celebrate.....had breast surgery yesterday, so I'm down in the dumps. Was reading blogs and came across yours. It is wonderful that you are giving some away....I would love to have one. My email address is mattdotballatsbcglobaldotnet
