cute and clever!
I love my new mesh market bags so much I just had to post about them. They fit right in my purse so I can always have one on hand for quick trips to the store. For the big shopping days they are the perfect alternative to those plastic produce bags on the big rolls. Josh wanted to use them for foraging but I told him no way. Bags this cute have to stay dirt-free as long as possible :)
I bought them (on Earth Day, no less!) from a new Etsy shop called Zummi, and I got to be her first customer--yippeee! I don't know why that made my day, but it did. It's fun to discover things. And I'm not the only one who did apparently because she is sold clean out of bags at the moment. It's nice to know that I won't be the only one at the store with a head of Romaine tucked into a "fashion" bag--hee!
So cute. I've been wanting to make muslin bags for produce for awhile. Haven't gotten to it yet. My problem/concern is that when you put the vegetables away in the fridge, don't they stay fresher and crisper in a plastic bag? I find myself transfering the farmers market veggies to a large ziplock when I get home.

Those are so perfect. I've made the switch to cloth grocery bags but I always feel guilty about all those produce bags I use.

OMG! Amanda, this is a good friend of mine! I love her stuff. She did the green gift basket on my green cleaning 101 post and I was just her first buyer for a "Meat Sack" which I'm posting about as soon as I get mine in the mail--reusable sack for your grocery meats. She doesn't have them up on Etsy (yet) but you'll love it. She also does diaper wallets and wetbags and tshirts on a site called Blue Turtle Baby--check it out.

That's great! Too bad she's sold out, I'll have to check back with her later.

oh what a great idea to use instead of the plastic bags for produce. i was just thinking of what i might use in place of plastic bags for bulk items like grain and beans and such. any ideas?

What a great produce bag!

Cool! I have been making some for us, but it might be nicer to get a bunch at once! I'm going to check out that link.
And brianna who commented - We use canning jars for storing grains and beans. They are affordable, you can find them at thrift stores or garage sales sometimes too, they are glass, and there are many sizes (the large can hold a LOT)!
