For all the lovers of orange.

This one will certainly bring a smile to someone's face.

Fact:
California's plastic bag ban qualified for the November 2016 ballot which would require grocers to charge at least 10 cents for each recycled paper bag or reusable given to customers.

Thanks to my friend Jan, this beauty got a new home today in California. This one is made from napkins. The inside is fully lined with the blue. A nice edition to Golden State shopping!

A new beginning

If you market shop in Hawaii, you had better bring your own shopping bags.
This practice will eventually be followed by the rest of the country one day and quite frankly, I hope soon.

I am all for green bags, except that the green bags sold at local stores are just plain ugly and washing them just ruins them.

I have an idea that I can't shake, in fact I am a bit obsessed with it.
I want  grocery bags that are green, beautiful, strong and washable.

I created the Knap-saq. My bags are one of a kind and handcrafted  from re-purposed linens. I search thrift stores for vintage and unique linens for each of my creations. Check my post for that great green grocery bag that will make your shopping experience a little brighter!
