Be A Green Girl With A Market Bag
Market bags are becoming very popular and many grocery stores are getting rid of the plastic bags. So, no more hearing "paper or plastic?" at the grocery checkout!
This market bag is sewn with my stash of cottage style and upolstery fabrics. It's also lined with a vintage table cloth, believe it or not, making it very durable, with a box bottom to hold more items!
It's perfect for the market, especially if you are buying a French baguette, which usually gets squished in a regular plastic grocery bag. You could also use this bag for your visits to the library, or for shopping in Paris - of course! Bonjour Madame!
The following photos show the vintage tablecloth lining and you can see the box bottom in the first photo. The color palate is very Tuscany or Provence!
Get yourself a market bag - it shows the world that you care about recycling fabrics and reducing plastic production.
Plus, you will look tres chic as the "green girl" at the market!
Au revoir madame! 
Be sure to visit my Etsy shop for more items.

I'm In A Cottage Frame Of Mind
I decided to start another blog about something that I have always loved - cottages! In my mind, the ideal cottage would have a messy perennial garden and garden path leading to my pebble-stone patio, equipped with white outdoor furniture, lot's of rose fabric cushions, a pitcher of iced tea, and a Chintz platter of lemon scones.
The rooms in my cottage would be painted white with accents of roses EVERYWHERE! Flower print fabric pillows, vases of fresh flowers, a coffee table with neat piles of coffee table books, my collection of Victoria Magazines, a tri-fold Asian screen with rose fabric panels, teapots, lavender, etc. The bedrooms would have a million tiny matching show pillows and a tray on each bed with a tea set - of course! The kitchen would have a shabby chic/French country style with fresh flowers on the table in a pitcher and a bowl full of cherries.
I would like to announce that I am changing the style of my Etsy shop and renaming it to Cottage Style Threads. After renewing my sewing abilities, I want to sew my own line of cottage soft furnishings.
It's going to be a challenge, but I need to take the next step and focus on a brand and style that I love. This will be a new avenue for me, and it's time to move into something new, something that I love and want to pursue.
Please visit often. I will be adding links to my favorite blogs and you will begin to see the transformation of my Etsy shop into the new Cottage Style Threads - For the Cozy Home.
Come back soon.
Thank you - Susan
