Some of my cloth grocery bags had seen better days and
needed to be replaced, so I looked on Etsy to see if
there were any unique, pretty ones to buy.
I found these in a little shop called Bella Mia Totes!
You get to choose the fabric and she makes them
special just for you!
And they are huge! Twice as big as the standard ones!
That means fewer trips from the car into the house!
And they are nicely made with strong handles.
If you need any totes, go visit Jamie
at her shop! Click HERE.

Joan has been making these sort of bags for years, if you go to morsbags.com you will see all about it!
ReplyDeleteGo to 'news' and Joan is on the photos, top left.
DeleteI hope she made you some! :)
DeleteThat is her, holding up the blue bag?
Yes.
DeleteDo you want me to send you one? You pay the postage of course.
DeleteAh, she's a blonde...I should have known!
DeleteNo, thanks anyway. I have plenty of new ones now, as you can see!
Deletehaha you needed a bird to be there
ReplyDeleteFits right in at your lair
Big is great too
Way better to take fewer loads at ones zoo
Of course I chose the bird!
DeleteNot to would be absurd!
And a few flowers, too,
for some cheeriness at my zoo.
I love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cute? She had lots of choices.
DeleteI love your choices of fabric. Right now I'm well supplied with Trader Joe bags.
ReplyDeleteI even love Trader Joe's paper bags! ha.
DeleteDon't know if you saw my comment to you a about Don ...but I really appreciated his facebook comment to me on Nugget's post.
I said he was as sweet as you! ha.
They would make grocery shopping a pleasure......well, almost :)
ReplyDeletePretty fabric.

Yes, I've used them twice and it does help! :)
DeleteIdeal and very smart . . . twice as big means twice as heavy though . . . :)
ReplyDeleteoh geesh...you probably just cost the poor girl a sale. haha...
Deleteno, they weren't too heavy....I carried them just fine!
I love it! I am off to check if she has any Curious George patterns.
ReplyDeleteIf she doesn't I bet she takes special requests!
DeleteThey are so cute! I have some that I bought at a craft fair, big, heavy duty and colorful. Mine were made in Africa by women rescued from the sex trade. I love the bags and the fact that it helped a good cause.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so cool....what a great idea.
DeleteLove the two patterns you chose. Having something other than the utilitarian ones is fun... and especially if they're a bit bigger. I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are nice and cheery...I'm enjoying these a lot!
DeleteJust looked at her owl print for the reuseable sandwich bags - too darn cute!
DeleteVery pleasant to the eyes.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? A little color to my grocery trip! :)
DeleteHow cute!! I love your prints and the colors. And, I think it's great that you use reusables. I wish everyone did. It would be a lot less plastic bags going into the landfills. My mama is the queen of reusable grocery bags around here. All the clerks at the grocery store know her for her bags. I was in there the other day and just used two bags and made mention that I need to buy a third one and the clerk said, "There's a lady that shops here that has 5 or 6 bags". She went on to say that one of her bags looked like mine. I said, "That's my mama"! HaHa!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's hilarious! I purposefully got 6 of these so I wouldn't run out but I've already found that I miss having a few plastic ones around...I line little waste cans with them! haha...so I ended up buying a box of small trash can liners! ha.
DeleteI do the same, but since I don't want the words "Food Lion" showing on my little bathroom waste can, I wait until I go to Target and get a couple of their plastic bags. At least it has a bulls eye on it...something to shoot for. Lol!!!!
Deletehaha...perfect...maybe I should try that! :)
DeleteStyle while grocery shopping, got'ta love it.
ReplyDeleteAnything to make the chore a bit more pleasant! :)
DeleteWhat a great idea!! That's usually my biggest complaint about them. I get frustrated that they don't hold enough. :)
ReplyDeleteExactly...I'd rather have 6 big ones than a dozen little ones!
DeleteVery nice... I also use these bags...so much easier to pack..I do my own....and carry!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...
Enjoy your hot evening!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
beautiful bags!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the kind words about my bags! I'm flattered!
