I received a beautiful gift in the mail this week! Ginger~Enchanting Cottage sent me these gorgeous toile canvas grocery bags...6 of them! (you can click on the photo to enlarge) I love them! They are something I would have bought if I saw them. I couldn't wait to use them so I've been bringing my lunch to work in one of them this week!

Congrats on the cute tote bags. THAT would be a great treat. I love your list you wrote.
You won't believe this, but this week I was thinking of that chair you bought and wondered WHEN we would see more news about it. Thanks for answering that question. I'll be waiting to see your results. I know it will be beautiful!!!!

Love those bags; they sure make the generic cloth ones look....well, generic!

Cindy, I missed that chair when you posted about it...gorgeous!! I would have snapped that up in a minute. I would love to have one like that for my French vanity. I saw one at a yardsale last year almost just like yours for $45 & it had blue/white toile. I kicked myself for not getting it, but your deal was much better!

Cindy, Just moved to Calif a few weeks ago from NY and was looking to decorate and somehow found you. God knew I was lonely and needed a friend. My Romantic Home is my 1st blog. I just enjoying reading what you and friends have to share. Thanks, Lonely in Ventura.
Love the bags. Cool way to bring your groceries home!!!
Can't wait to see "afters" of the chair.

I love that bag! Where did Ginger find them? ;) Lucky you!
Bet your lunch tastes better coming out of that beautiful bag! (wink)
AND you'll be the snazziest grocery shopper with the rest of those toile bags!! ;-)
Cindy,right on! Your list gets A+ from me. Many Blessing, Virgina
Cute fabric bag! They look like the kind that European people use when they go to the market.
I also love plates. I collect them and hang them all over the place in my home. The chipped ones get put into my mosaics! I recognized several of the ones you posted pix of. I'm definitely a china girl!
Hi, Cindy, What adorable bags. I'm looking forward to your chair post. I snagged two semi-French chairs a few weeks ago and somethign came over me--I painted them with wall latex paint. lol
Bad, bad Gollum! Take care
Love your totes Cindy , they look just like you !

Hi Cindy. What a precious bag and there's more? You lucky one!! Have a wonderful weekend.
Be a sweetie,

How nice to have someone do that for you. I have material, I need to make a tote out of. And since I have my sewing machine sitting out. I think I'll make that a project.

Those cloth bags match your home perfectly. What a lovely and thoughtful gift. Joanne ~~ glamourgirljoanne@yahoo.com
That bad is GORGEOUS!!!
I recently started making my own bags (and selling them in my etsy shop).
That fabric is sooo pretty, I'm feeling a little envious! ;-)
Ooops! I meant *bag*, not *bad*!
Love your list!
Those tote bags are really nice. They are the perfect "green" accessory.

How sweet! I love the toile bags! I need to get something like that because I am trying to be more "green" though I must say I used the plastic bags in one capacity or another about 3 times before tossing.

Love your new bags!!

Hope you are having fun working on your chair.
