Tiny Book Auction to benefit Haiti!

Get ready for St Patrick's Day with Wild Shamrock Badges!

Liberty of London TAPE? oh crap, I didn't know I needed this stuff...Where to buy???

While I love Lisa Kogan, I begrudgingly returned her book to Barnes and Noble as I didn't realize when I bought it that the stories had already been printed in Oprah magazine.

Seven foods so unsafe even farmers won't eat them.

Has anyone tried the Debbie Meyer Green Bags out of curiosity?

Does anyone know of a tutorial for making your own bags to hold produce at the grocery store? I am tired of the plastic bags. I already have canvas bags that I tote with me to and from the stores. I want thin bags that I can put my fresh produce in instead of having them roll around on the windex sprayed conveyor belt. ;)

first what is it about models and odd postures?
2nd. I have a friend who sews cotton bags to put her produce in. some may have drawstrings, but not all do....she uses them over and over and over...you get the idea. I'm sure the local store thought it was odd at first but when she shopped at whole foods they thought it was fantastic.

What about the old net bags people used to always carry to the grocery for produce? I know they are still around in Europe. And - lay off the tape! did you see that there are 5 patterns? Two of them with pink? and you can buy them right off that site. AAAAAAAAAA

want to swap? I've been using the net bags that onions come in and sewing fabric to the bottoms to make them more fun and sturdy and adding ribbon to make them recloseable...also, the BH Sunday Farmers' Market has reuseable produce bags for a very reasonable price, I bought a set, now plan to decorate them a bit...

I love the page. I'm not sure on the tape but I know Target is going to carrying some Liberty of London items soon.

i'd kill for that tape!!! i have some of their fabric (unless i'm lying and it is actually a different designer) and it is expensive, too (but i love it). let me know if you figure it out -- i can't believe they want roughly $37 to ship tape!

Debbie Meyer green bags and boxes are the greatest invention ever. I have them all. If you put berries in them or veggies, they will stay fresh for days or a week longer than normal. It's great for leaf lettuce and berries especially, things that go bad in a couple days. Now you can keep them for at least a week, no problem. I put my baby tomatos in them too and they stay useable for a couple weeks and don't get all wrinkly. Buy them. They are wonderful and will save you money.

I've used the Debbie Meyer bags for a couple of years now... each bag lasts about 6 months, and I swear, they really do work.

That Liberty tape is fabulous! Too spendy for shipping though. I love the idea of re-using onion bags for produce. I'm going to try to make some from netting too.... I'm on Spring Break -- I'm going to be the sewing Queen. If I ever get started. I'm also the procrastination Queen....
