Off to Market

The weather is finally warming up, and now that it's May there won't be any more snow this spring.  At least I hope there won't be.  We've had too much already.  And with spring comes markets, and outdoor shopping, and beach days. 

Enter the Market Bag:

These lovelies can fit an disproportionate amount of stuff.  The open knit and strength of the cotton allow for plenty of stretch.  All of this was in the bag above, and I could have fit more.  I have a few of these at B+M so head over there for some shopping!

This is the medium-sized market bag.  I always prefer my market bags with handles rather than a cross-body strap.  The straps tend to stretch too much, or fall awkwardly, or cause a full bag to bounce uncomfortably against your leg when you're walking.  The handles are super strong and also just big enough to slide up your arm and carry in your elbow.

And these cutie pies are what I've dubbed Love Bunnies.  I started making them years ago and modeled them after Jack's stuffed puppy that he carried with him everywhere.  He loved to play with the big ears and rub them on his face.  They're little and snuggly and perfect for tiny hands... and also currently at B+M.
