You are doing great!<BR/><BR/>To Edith--Isn't it nice that people are starting to think before they act?<BR/><BR/>To Valeria--Thanks for all your kind comments!<BR/><BR/>To Andrea--Ignore those people. They just can't believe that you would actually give them something for free. They are SO skeptical that you are trying to sell them something. Keep up your FABULOUS work! I love it. Don't stop. Don't let that one woman get to you.

I ...what a wonderful and giving heart Mr Lane has! I too am running out of fabric and have been on a search for vintage, yard sale and donated fabrics...no luck yet *sigh*. <BR/> i have gotten into the habit of grabbing a couple extra bags when i enter a store so that i can surprise someone with a fabric bag, everyone is always pleased to receive one. with that said i have a story to share... <BR/> so, i was standing behind a woman in the checkout line and became inspired. i picked up a bag and said to the woman that i made the bag to give away and asking would she use it instead of plastic if i were to give it to her? she looked at me with a blank look on her face and then asked 'what is it?' so i told her is was a reusable shopping bag. she looked at me straight in the eye and said 'no that's ok' i was slightly taken aback and asked are you sure, and tried to say how useful they were and easy to carry around and that it was a gift, when she got kinda snotty and went on a little tangent about how she recycles the bags and that is good enough. i was too in shock to even be upset! also as a side not she was on a lunch break with about 4 items, one of them was for someone else and got bagged separately!!!<BR/> she must have missed the local report that recycling centers are sending recyclable materials to landfills because they aren't making enough money selling the raw materials. i guess you can't enlighten everyone, hopefully soon she'll see the bigger picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202334394202768670.post-42593524627235532942009-02-01T21:45:00.000-06:002009-02-01T21:45:00.000-06:00Mr Lane thank you so much for your generosity.Mr Lane thank you so much for your generosity.Valeriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125710403234096308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202334394202768670.post-62421969673502873472009-02-01T12:35:00.000-06:002009-02-01T12:35:00.000-06:00I just discovered Green Bag Lady and find it an am...I just discovered Green Bag Lady and find it an amazingly generous idea.<BR/>I traveled the world in the 60s and 70s and have always carried my own bags (a couple are pretty threadbare but still work). I rather feel like the world is catching up to me and I say: welcome!<BR/>Though I cannot tell a lie because I collect plastic (for cat litter) and paper bags (to line waste baskets) from friends who don't carry their own bags so those I'm recycling!<BR/>Keep up the great work.<BR/>Edith WagnerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014302787052587129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202334394202768670.post-55383616979537128312009-01-31T23:23:00.000-06:002009-01-31T23:23:00.000-06:00Theresa,You are so right Mr Lane is a God sent sha...Theresa,<BR/>You are so right Mr Lane is a God sent sharing wonderful person.<BR/>I know how important that material is for you to continues as I am running out of donated fabric myself.<BR/>I have made over 50 bags in this When I heard about your program I had a little material that I had in the closet I was so moved by your project that I wanted to help You said to start in my area here so I did. I am constantly amazed at how appreciative everyone is to receive a bag. So I just pray and know that with the help of God I will have what I need always to contuinue. You are amazing to have given away so many bags.
