Something you probably don't know about me. I'm one of those.........you know..........bag ladies!!
Not talking fancy designer handbags, purses or pocket books.......
............rather simple little cloth bags which specify their usefulness in no uncertain terms.
Do you travel with your shoes in bags?
How about your pegs (clothespins). Do you hang them in a cute bag near the washing line, or are you an electric dryer person? I have to admit, sadly, I haven't pegged anything out since in France last Autumn!
Potatoes quickly sprout little appendages if left in the light - but stored in a dark lined bag like this they're OK for much longer. Do you have one of these?
All these useful bags were purchased in England and I love them.

I do have a peg bag and also bags for shoes when travelling, no potato bag unless you count a very large hessian sack full of potato's in the garage.
ReplyDeleteThere is a photo of my peg bag somewhere on my blog. Having had to use dryers for 2 years I was soooooo pleased to have a line to hang washing outside and made a new bag for the pegs I had to buy. Having given most of my others to my DD2.
The shoe bags were made out of curtains samples I was given, so each one is different.
Last year one of the few sewing things I did was to make two bags for bowls trophies. Neither had any protection so I made 2 quilted bags with the name of the trophy embroidered on the front.
Funny how I didn't know about this little secret but wondered about it while browsing at a store the other day... I saw a very cute little bag and thought - Mary would love this "cutie". Hope you're doing just fine. Miss you! Love, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteI love bags too, bags for linen, bags for handbags, bags for.....well, anything!
ReplyDeleteI buy tote bags everywhere I travel. I love carrying my knitting in them. I really like the shoes too. LOL.

Oh now I miss having a clothesline to dry the wash! I kept my clothespins in an old basket, not a bag -- but I like ALL of your bags, and I think the potato bag is especially charming and useful.

My Mary, you have been busy this week!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've looked in and you make me feel guilty!
Fine weather has finally reached us so sitting on ther deck, doing absolutely nothing is the order of the day.

OH !!! I love these! I have a clothes pin bag and several drawstring bags my mom throws together I use for EVERYTHING! I want a potato and onion bag! Love your bags!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
Dear Mary, I can honestly say I too love bags. I have countless tote bags of all colors shapes etc. However, I did not know the tip about potato bags. I need one of those.:)
ReplyDeleteYou have another great photo on your profile. How fun. I am paying attention Mary. LOL.
Tomorrow I am finally going to see 'Julie and Julia' I know I will love that movie.
Have a great evening.
Love, Jeanne
I'm a bag lover, too. The potato bag sounds like something we all need.
ReplyDeleteYou have good secrets. ;-)
I have chicken feed bags and laundry bags with chickens on them. Go figure!

How I wish I had some Dakota Maid flour sacks from my grandpa's old flour mill in Crosby, ND.
