Piroska commented on October 23rd, 2009 at 12:42 pmI’m a January bag fan. It has the bold, crimson colors and whimsical design that an artistic fashionista would covet. But it also has the practical, ecological function that any earth-loving person would appreciate. This bag proves that loving “art” is really a part of loving e”art”h.

This is my favorite tote: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=30234224 but it was hard to choose. When I go to the market I like to get fresh seasonal veggies. My favorites are mexican gray squash, eggplant, and tomatoes. Yum!
Kimberly Creagan commented on October 27th, 2009 at 2:33 pmI’m lovin’ that zesty MamaGoToMarket January red floral number. I can see it — DO YOU SEE IT — slung over my right shoulder: Blood Dazzler, harmonica, and ziplock bags of pennies tucked inside.

Sorry my blog is in Chinese so I provide a simple translation:
“Banansaurusrex:Using her creative hands she gives old fabric new life, turning them into bags, pillowcases, aprons. Her MammaGoToMarket bags are stylish and useful”

Jakki commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 9:38 amMy quick trips to the market are nearly always for soymilk and all the berries I can get my hands on. I don’t know how I survive when they’re out of season.
